I am planning on going next March(end of the month). Thanks a ton for all the recommendations everyone! I cant wait to get back. Respect! I think about Negril every day. Soon Come!!!
If you're here in November...most places are open by then.Quote:

I am only going to be there from Oct 16th - Oct 25th. Canoe will be closed?! That is so unfortunate! I love the french toast there! I got to meet Patty and her father Norm while I was there last time. Even helped Norm get in the beach there in front of CanoC. what about Connie's, Colette's, Quality's, 3 dives, jus natural, niahs, allys little sunset hut, bar negril, red dragon, Ras Rody's, Sharks, or any that will be open?
Marko, congrats on your move!! I am super jealous! Would love to move to Negril, at least most of the time. Need to expand my contacts and network/friends there first. Are any of your recommended places open in October? German Bar for Pizza, Corner Bar, Pee Wees, Pablo's, Chicken King, Three Dives, No Limit Bar?
Jame...the ones that will be open (almost :) ) for sure from your list...
German Bar, Corner Bar, Pee Wees, Pablo's, Chicken King, Three Dives, No Limit Bar,
Connie's, Colette's, Quality's, Just natural, Niahs, Allys Little Sandwich Hut, Bar Negril, Red Dragon, Ras Rody's, Sharks...though some will close for a couple of weeks sometime during slow season in September or October.
And...don't discount Canoe...ya never know who'll be open or closed for sure.
Welcome to Jamaica...just take it all in stride! ;)
If anything, you'll be more inclined to go where the locals go because some of the tourist-based spots are closed. What a great experience. I went in late June, "slower" season and I would have had to try really hard to go hungry. I know September and October are different than June, but you'll be able to find what you need. It will give you a different point of view, at least it did for me. Enjoy!
Yeah, When I first went there, I met a couple that was staying at Tensing Pen and they told me it was their sixth time eating there in ten days. I went twice in one week, had the chicken the first time, went back with two others the second time; they got the chicken and said it was great, I tried the pork, it was good, but I like Red Dragon's better.Quote:

Miquel is Trevor's son. Trevor is the long-time cook at De Bar and he even ran the the place while Eddie was state-side. They are all related to the owners of 3 Dives.Quote:

Miguel originally worked for his Uncle Lloydie from 3 Dives, worked at all the other family restaurants and ran De Bar when Eddie went foreign.
I'm always blown away at how hard this young man works and how determined he's been to do things right...but I think everyone already knows how I feel about this 'kid'.
