Jamaica Food

The food in Jamaica is world renowned and you might have been to a Caribbean inspired restaurant here in the UK, but imagine actually eating where many of the inspirations took place? That Caribbean flavour is in full effect in Jamaica and you can be sure those taste buds are going to come alive. 

Here are some examples of the food in Jamaica

Exotic Fruits - Get a taste of the tropics through our fresh produce. Try home-cooked Ital in a Rastafarian restaurant, ice-cold jelly from a colourful fruit stand or ackee and saltfish with breadfruit.

Seafood - If you're a seafood lover, head to one of the friendly fishing villages in Port Royal, Alligator Pond or Treasure Beach where beachfront vendors serve up the catch of the day, every which way.

Famous Rum - Visit one of our many rum bars - more per square mile than any nation in the world - and enjoy a refreshing rum punch or a variety of other tasty, tropical cocktails.

Red Stripe - Kick back and cool off with Jamaica’s most essential libation, Red Stripe beer. It's the perfect accompaniment to any occasion or meal (especially the spicy ones).

Fine Dining - Funky fusion, Haute cuisine and Regional favourites. Keeping your taste buds in the lap of luxury is easy with Jamaica's many award-winning fine dining restaurants. Don't forget the champagne!

Grill - From dumplings to conch fritters to bammy - have a taste of some of Jamaica's fried specialties. They're well worth the calories.

Hot Delights - Spice up your holiday on a roadside tour of Jamaica - sample curried goat in Spur Tree, jerk chicken and pork at jerk centres in Boston Bay and Blueberry Hill, or peppered shrimp in the Middle Quarters.
