Don't forget about JUST NATURAL, they have move out the road. They are in the middle of the most beautiful garden, lots of fruit and flowers, it is truly a gardeners heaven! Teresa and Christine are worth the trip and the food is so good, especially breakfast, fantastic! The plates are always full of fresh vegetables and they do great seafood. It is only a five minute walk past Woopies and you also get to pass THE OUT OF TOWN BAKERY, they have patties that you dream about .

I will repeat what was said about Alfred's on the Beach. Their fish and chips are awesome (I think it is the ginger). Make sure you have picapeppa sauce with the fries.

This is Teresa from Just Natural Restaurant right after she harvested her Christmas Sorrel. They make a jam from it that is just awesome. They also have killer hot sauce to take home. Name: 074.jpg

Ivan's, LTU, Chicken Lavish, Best in the West, Chill Awhile, and ice cream/desserts from Charela Inn. Still have yet to try Bentley's and Just Natural, but they're on my list!

Favorite's from our trip last week:
Bigga's great way to start the trip
Cosmos not too touristy, always some locals there
LTU went twice, amazing coconut shrimp
Chill Awhile great service
Rainbow Arch amazing fried shrimp, fish and chips
3 Dives, always a long wait, but worth it
De Bar
Canoe (2 for 1 Lobster)
Alfred's (fish and chips)

I would like to put The Fish (Red Stripe dipped) & Chips at Sunset After Dark up against Alfreds in a competition. Patrick does some great Seafood (Snapper/King Fish/Grouper & Lobster) at Sunset and good size portions with an awesome view back to 7 Mile beach - He is on West end Road across from Negril Hardware & Haberdashery (just a short walk from the roundabout) - Also Chicken Lavish is a Negril tradition and we ate there on our very 1st visit in 1978..!

Lots of great advice already. You can't go wrong with any of the the suggestions.
Although there's plenty of "fine dining" I really enjoy the casual local places. Great people and great food at reasonable prices.

For road side barrel jerk chicken, try:
- "Step Aside" on the beach road
- "Original Smokey Biggs" on the cliff side.

Other great "hole in the wall" locally owned places include:
- Soup Stand across the street from The Jungle night club. Big portions of fried chicken. Good soup. Reasonable prices.
- Sips n bites - West end just past Rockhouse (closed Saturdays)
- Presley's - One man show on the west end
- Bentley's Crab Cakes - Another great one man operation (BYOB). "5 tings on da plate." LOL
- For lunch on the beach try Niah's Kitchen - Argueably the best patties in Negril. He also does great ital stews if you pre-order.
- Sweet Spot - Beach Road. It's where the taxi drivers eat (always a good sign).
- Fatties - Beach Road
- Of course "3 Dives" is famous for jerk chicken, shrimp and grilled lobster. Cliff side near Xtabi which also has very good food.
- Jus Natural - Cliff Rd. They recently moved further down the cliff rd.
- Eddies De Bar - Cliff side - Great vibe, strong rum punch and excellent jerk chicken among other dishes.
- Choices - Cliff Rd. The fried chicken is a good as I have ever had
- Juicy J's - Behind the Scotia Bank
- Jenny's Cakes - Cliff Rd.
- Sweet Spice - Great ox tail and the best curried shrimp I ever tasted. No shoes no shirt no service.

The list goes on. You'll love the food in Negril. The seafood is locally caught, is as fresh as can be and almost always cooked to perfection.

Conspicuously absent from the list so far:

Burbon Beach for arguably the best jerk around.

Sunrise Club for excellent hybrid italian/jamaican cuisine.
