We always like to try something new on our trips. Given that this is #10 I'm starting to run out of things. Last year was Lobster Pizza on the beach and dinner at Catch a. 2 years ago was Sweet Spice and Jucy Patties. This year I'm thinking Chicken Lavish? What's the place with all the hammocks? How far past the lighthouse is the bakery?
Any other suggestions???
Hey Russ in MN. I too am in MN, just west of the twin cities. We just booked our 1st ever Jamaica trip for the end of January. After cruising the entire Southern Caribbean we have finially decided to try Negril Jamaica. Nice to meet you.
I highly recommend a place near the round about, above Hammonds Bakery. Think the name is Seven Mile Restaurant. Anyhow, it is great!! Good prices, great curried chicken as well as other treats...and some great Roti!! The view is great, watching all the folks. You won't regret it!! They will get you a beer...yet if you want mixed drinks or wine...bring your own. We asked about it last New Years Eve and they told us "no problem"...so we had a great dinner as well as a nice bokkle of wino...which we shared with our cook. Great likkle place...with nice folks running it.
yetta, Seven Mile Restaurant was on my list last year, mmmm roti, but I never made it! Good to hear you liked it, maybe I'll make it this year :)
Russ In Mn, have you tried Ted's tea? Kidding of course!
The hammock place is "Whoopies Hammock Park" It's up past the lighthouse, haven't made it there yet either :)
...and then about a 5 min. walk past the Hammock Park is Out of Town Pastry. :)Quote:

We'll be at Seastar from March 7 through March 21.
Rumrunner, Yes, we'll be at Xtabi again! Definitely try to meet up this time, lol! Are you guys staying at Seastar? I've got to check it out sometime to! :)
Hey Corona... Negril is a great place. I've never done the AI stuff so not sure how that will turn out. Just make sure that you explore off the resort and don't let them scare you into thinking it is unsafe. As long as you take the proper precautions (like you would in downtown Wayzata) you'll be fine. The food is great almost anywhere and a polite "No Thank you" will keep the vendors away. Hope you enjoy as much as we do. We're just So. of the cities.
Thanks Lisa! I run up to the Lighthouse every morning... now just a little farther...
Russ in MN, if you haven't been to Little Ochie at Alligator Pond, it is a MUST! You can google Little Ochie and you'll find directions. Atmosphere is great and the food is beyond compare. Try the grilled lobster - you won't be sorry, and you may even make it a must-visit every time you return.
Have you tried a fishing trip to catch your dinner? My husband is a licensed commercial fisherman there, and may be interested in taking you out for a catch and then arranging for your catch to be cooked over open fire on the fishing beach down by the craft market. If you're so lucky to get him to agree to cook, he is a GREAT chef!
I too am a Minnesotan - about 2 hours south-east of the Twin Cities.
Little Ochie is about a 2.5-3 hour drive from Negril
Russ - I haven't been myself yet, but here's an idea of something new to try in Negril - and sounds definitely unique.
How about tossing back a few at the bar at the Negril Police Station! :p
I saw it in an earlier thread, and have added it to my Negril ToDo List.
I remember seeing it mentioned in other posts, but one I found first doing a search here was in reply #5 of this thread, at the end of the first paragraph under "Nightlife": http://negril.com/forum/showthread.p...uide-to-Negril
"...Lastly, and this is more of a weekday afternoon place for a drink, is the Police Station. Yes, the actual Negril Police station. There is a small bar inside. Not the nicest bar in the world or anything, but a good place to have a drink and be able to say I got drunk at the police station!"
