Negril

Jamaican restaurants in Negril

  1. A

    3 Dives Jerk Centre

    It’s no small tribute to 3 Dives that its jerk overshadows its reputation for lengthy waits (sometimes over an hour). Fortunately, the chefs are more than happy to let you peek into the kitchen, where there’s bound to be a pile of super-hot Scotch bonnet peppers threatening to spontaneously combust, and you can sip cheap Red Stripe on the cliffs at the end of a small garden. This is also the site of the annual Negril Jerk Festival.

    Norma’s on the Beach

    The Negril branch of Norma Shirley’s celebrated Jamaican culinary empire, this Norma’s seems to have escaped the hype surrounding her Kingston flagship. The ‘new world Caribbean’ food at this stylish beach restaurant is just as adventurous. Expect to find the likes of lobster, Cornish game hen, jerk chicken and pasta as well as tricolored ‘rasta pasta.’ Lunches are more burger and tuna-melt oriented.

    Sweet Spice Restaurant

    This unassuming bright-blue clapboard house is a favorite among several authentic Jamaican restaurants in Sheffield Rd that are frequented by locals. Portions are heaped, prices are inexpensive and the food authentic. The menu includes curried goat and fish, conch steak and pepper steak. No alcohol is served but there are plenty of fruit juices.

    Ivan’s Bar

    Although the service can be a little bewildering, there’s no doubt about the food at Catcha Falling Star’s restaurant overlooking the sea. Papaya Ahoy is an excellent ‘boat’ of papaya filled with shrimp or snapper drizzled in a coconut sauce. Coconut pimento chicken and Caribbean crabcakes also hit the spot.

  5. Angela’s

    This upstairs restaurant with a veranda overlooking a slice of the beach features excellent Italian food from a menu divided into pizza, pasta, salad, chicken and fish. Among the highlights are the pollo marsala, jerk salmon and lobster fra diavolo.

    Serious Chicken

    Aptly named, this friendly roadside spot is devoted to the bird, serving it up in salads, stews, curries and barbecue dishes in a thatched hut. You can’t go wrong here, and if you stick around at night you’re bound to be invited to join a game of dominoes.

    Sips & Bites

    This large, welcoming open-air restaurant serves classic Jamaican fare including oxtail, curried goat, brown stew lobster and conch steaks. Wash it down with the day’s special natural juice. Starting bright and early, hearty Jamaican breakfasts are served.

    Miss Brown’s

    Two kilo­meters east of the roundabout, this place serves ‘mushroom daiquiris, ’ mushroom omelettes and mushroom tea. Be warned – they’re hallucinogenic. It also serves well-priced standard Jamaican dishes.

  9. Erica’s Place

    This simple shack noted for its lobster has a long history of serving good, cheap Jamaican fare. The stewed chicken is highly recommended.
