Dean is the jerk pork guy on the beach…he walks up and down the beach around lunchtime with a big silver box. (we snagged him around Idle Awhile) He usually has spicy and mild versions, sometimes with roasted breadfruit…very goodCan't remember the price…

Dean's pork is awesome, $500 JMD for a small, $1000 for a large. He raises his own pigs.
Favorites on this trip:
Canoe: really great sauces, house Shrimp dish is amazing, as was the snapper special.
LTU: only place to get two visits on this trip, love the snapper stuffed with callaloo and cheese, great atmosphere
Ivan's: Excellent food and atmosphere
Rockhouse: Pushcart not bad, but we walked out of the main restaurant after seeing the menu, didn't seem Jamaican enough for our last meal and very expensive, ended up at LTU instead, very happy.
Corner Bar: Great local food at a cheap price
Sweet Spot: also great cheap local food
Soup place at Yellowbird: many taxi drivers eat here, great, cheap soups, try the fish or red bean.
Rainbow Arch: delicious, slow, order and come back in an hour
Chill Awhile: very disappointed this trip, was told they have a new chef
Alfred's: love the fish and chips
Bigga's in Green Island: best jerk chicken, hit it on the way into Negril
3 Dives: another favorite
Every trip is different..... Here are my favorites from Nov/Dec 2013
Best in the West- 1/2 chicken w/rice & peas & cole slaw for $10 (I think the price is up to $12-probably because of all the good reviews)
Kuyaba - Pepper Shrimp and snapper w/ a callaloo sauce (not cheap but was worth 2 visits)
Charela - Pasta, pasta, pasta. Loved it with fish, chicken or veggies. If you stick to pasta it is pretty cheap too. Comes with a salad and good bread. Went 3 or 4x
Alfreds - fish & chips (it has never disappointed)
Firefly pancakes, Lena's breakfast,
Annie's BLTs, Tree House pork chops,
Antie's Chill Corner patties & jerk
Ozzie's jerk
One of my favourite moments is when after waking up, I realize that I am in Jamaica! And looking over to see if Mrs Dash is awake . Then anticipating The Treehouse breakfast buffet. Omelet or Belgium waffles with ginger syrup, ackee salt fish with callaloo and festivals or just banana bread and fresh fruit. Or one of each! Best breakfast in Negril. Can't wait!
Our Favorite is Ivans at Catcha.....Then Kuyaba and Charella........Norma's used to be on the list but I think they are still recovering from the fiasco from a couple years ago.....Hope they got it back to normal.........For breakfast.....Idle Awhile or Sherita's.......

Saeyedoc, did you try CC for dinner? Did you enjoy your stay or were you longing to get back to Nirvana?
