Right on, Chris B! With the endless pool of knowledge available on this board we can come up with a better list of places to eat, then any magazine article.Originally Posted by Chris B
I'm a cliff dweller, so I might be a little be biased. Here are a few of my favorites:
-Chicken Lavish: A nice variety of chicken dishes (and more!). Consistant high quality. One of the first restaurants in Negril; a landmark.
-Jenny's Famous Cakes/C&D: Traditional Jamaican fare and comfort foods with a country western vibe.
-Ciao Jamaica: Good Pasta and pizza with a Jamaican twist
-3 Dives Jerk Centre: Everything here is very good. good vibes, great view.
-Eddies de Bar: Better Jerk Chicken and better vibes. No ocean view, but who cares when you're hanging out with Eddie and Pam.
-Hungry Lion: A MUST visit if you are into the local/organic thing. A bit fancier than most Negril spots, but a cool place to chill. Closed during part of slow season, so check it out when you can.
-Jamaican Style Restaurant: I love this little roadside shack, across the street from Le Mirage. Rohan is a great chef and very friendly to his guests. His daughter handles the bar. Menu consists of Chicken, Shrimp, Conch and Goat any style. Rohan makes a nice platter with rice and peas, a side veggies and a side of pasta. Solid food, great vibes.
-Ras Rody's: what else can I say about this West End favorite? The gold standard of Ital food in Negril.
-Shark's: Greet the spliff toking host, then have a seat at one of the 3 tables at this chill spot across from Tensing Pen. Shark's has a huge menu of Jamaican fare. His specialties include banana pancakes for breakfast and pan-fried snapper for lunch/dinner.
-AhhhBee's: This ain't no burger king hamburger. They are huge; the housekeeper at the Mirage told me that everybody that visits AhhhBee's has a half-eaten burger in their fridge. Try the jerk chicken burger.
-Ivan's: Always great food in an amazing cliff-side atmosphere. This place does it right. A little more expensive than most Negril restaurants, but you get what you pay for.
-Kuyaba: The only beach-side restaurant on my list, this another one of the "fancier" spots in Negril. Prices here are somewhat high, but I like the food and the tables over looking the beach.
-Push Cart: I was pleasantly surprised at how well Push Cart did Jamaican style food. There prices were not that high, either.
-LTU: Great food, great view and great mix of people. Bypass Rick's and stop at this place.
By no means is this an exhaustive list - just a few of the places that I feel are worthy of mention. Please feel free to add your own favorites.
