One of many drinks I partook of at Buddy's Bar...



A roasted garlic and cream cheese quesadilla with pinapple salsa...I had one of these the day I arrived, and then pretty much every day after that! So good....



A nice afternoon at the Office of Nature, waiting for 3 o'clock so I can head to Blue Cave Castle for my last couple of days...

Buddy's Beach Bar at the Wild Parrot...this is a great newish spot, just up from Firefly, used to be Seaquest (I think??). The food is very good, ate alot there...lolo. It was all good, and I saw many people coming back night after night. Usually they do up a board with specific dishes available for each meal. I actually think this works out well, you know they will have it when you order, and that ingredients will be fresh.

I understand the new chef at Buddy's is a recent expatriate from Philadelphia. An acclaimed chef here in his own right. He moved to Negril with the intent of teaching the Jamaican cooks new techniques (like making crepes), while taking advantage of the fresh ingredients. Looking at these pictures, the result is fantastic!

Actually, I just found the article:

We'll definitely need to check out buddy's on our next reach!

Yes Lady J...office of nature...but not the one with restaurant build there now, the "new" location where the "original" guys moved down to a couple of years ago...I know, complicated...lol

Yes, David is good at what he does and seems to be getting quite a following in Negril. I really enjoyed everything I tryed, and the chefs in training are doing a great job too. Some of the food is "expected" like fish and lobster dishes...but he mixes in some not so expected too, like Roasted Beet Root with Jamaican apple julienned on top...over a bed of arugula...really nice.

Finally made it to Blue Cave Castle.....first time in this room, now my favorite (except for the penthouse)....

Beautiful photos, Orchid! Have been hearing/reading a lot about the Wild Parrot. Will have to stop by and check it out the next time I'm in Negril.
