Where's the good food these days?

10th trip coming up next week, staying on the beach. We usually end up cliff side for most dinners, just haven't found anyplace we're crazy about on the beach. For lunch, it's usually jerk pork from Dean or a box lunch from Sweet Spot or we just eat at Chill Awhile. Also like the fish and chips at Alfred's and some things at Rainbow Arch. Breakfast usually at Chill Awhile or Country Country.
For this trip, I've got a 100 candle dinner at Ivan's, will go try Quality Seafood on the night they have reggae, will make our usual trips to 3 Dives and LTU.
Anything really good pop up in the last two years since our last trip or other suggestions?

The Boat Bar has remodeled their place.
They serve food now too.
(so I hear, been there, but did not eat)

Cosmo's for food has been talked about a lot with 2 thumbs up.

Have you been to Pablo's, across from Samsara? Great breakfast, as well as dinner.

Catcha Falling Star................Best in the area.........

My two favorites are C&D/Jenny's for great comfort food as well as the German Bar. Kenny's Italian Cafe is also a go to when staying on the beach.

Angela's over Bar b Barn.

We love Canoe and have great lunches and dinners at Sun Beach.

Kuyaba, Sun Beach, Charela Inn are our favorites.

Sips n Bites, Pablo's, Jus Natural, German Bar, Bourbon Beach for jerk chicken (but not their pork), LTU, oh, and Roots Bamboo (cafe).

Thanks. Haven't been to Cosmo's in a few trips, will have to check it out again. Been to Canoe several times. Stopped at Just Natural on the bar crawl last trip, cool place, will have to check out the food. Usually don't like to head up to the West End until later, prefer to hang on the beach during the day. Will have to check out Angela's and Kenny's. Didn't care for Kuyabs, haven't tried Charela yet. Keep em coming.

If on the beach I might suggest Montana's, across the street from Whistling Bird. Great breakfast, lunch or dinner. We go for breakfast. Good, and cheap. Very cold bokkle water, ting, or Red Stripe if you wish (I usually end breakfast with one!!!).

M&M

I will also say Montana's they have GREAT dinners at good prices, and they might have the coldest beer in town !!! say hi to TONY for me ..

Would like to try kenneys Chinese this year. De Bar is a favorite and usually go more than once. Would like to try Murphys this year and breakfast at Pee Wees for an egg sandwich is usually a must

Def get some fried chicken at Connie's and see if she has my potato salad on the menu yet. ;)

Also Kool Vybes has some of the best jerk chicken I've had, even awesome without any extra sauce.

And if you have not been there yet, I'd highly recommend Chicken Lavish, they had some of the most tender chicken I've ever had.


Enjoy!

Swordfish
Quality's Sea Breeze
Chicken Lavish
Sips and Bites
Kool Vybes jerk
Eddies de Bar

All West End and all consistently delicious food.

Hungry Lion and Cosmo's have been on "must" list since 1984.

Thanks for all of the input, sounds like we've got some new places to try.

Angela's is a must! I have been fortunate enough to travel to quite a few different places in my life and Angela's is the best Italian restaurant I have found. It is soooooooooo good!

Kenney's also delivers, for those days when just want to chill and have dinner on your veranda. Solid Chinese food and large portions.

We went to Murphy's once and it didn't live up to hype on Trip Advisor. Most of the reviews appear to be from people who took one trip off the AI and this was their only taste of local food. You would do better at Pablo's or Erica's - similar menu, better prices.

I'm going to have to drive by Erica's again...their main wooden building was torn down awhile back. There's another building on the land but I'm not sure they've opened that up...the land was not well kept/landscaped.

Glad to hear about Kenney's delivering, sometimes we get so lazy, wonder why :). I've been reluctant to try Chinese in JA, but have heard great things about them.

Try the restaurant at Country Country...the chefs can cook fish to perfection.

I went to Woodstock on the beach for the first time. Their lobster was to die for. It was by far the best I have had in Negril in many years (yes I have had it at all of the usual places). It was pricy though and you have to order sides separately. That being said, I would go back.

I have posted this pix before.

I can vouch for Keney's Chinese. Their Mongolian Beef is off the charts!

Thanks Marko for the great food list. Any updates on your Happy Hour / drink special list?

rasta aid on the beach next to rooms and qualities seafood on the west end . both great

You simply can't go wrong at Sea Star (it's been almost 3 years since I've been down so maybe that's changed) but the food and prices are excellent and the atmosphere is great.
Red Dragon is also beyond compare but you have to time it right for their pork lunch.
Don't miss it if you can help it.

Again I haven't been down in a couple years but I sincerely hope the Red Dragon hasn't changed - coldest beer in town too, that I guarantee.

saeyedoc,
Thanks for posting this! :) We're heading down in a couple months for trip number 9 (I think?). We are always looking for new places to try. I, too, have been wary of trying Chinese food in Negril, but might give it a go. Thanks to everyone for your ideas!
