Things are just sweeter and more flavoursome here on the island, and whether it be the sun, or the love we put into planting and cooking our produce, there’s a little bit of magic in our dishes.
As we have influences from all over the globe, you’ll taste different flavours; Cassava from our native Arawaks, pickled meat and fish from the Europeans, yams and bananas from Africa and curry from the East Indians. Put it all together, with our own tasty produce and local flavours, and what do you get? Our delicious Jamaican Cuisine.
You may find our famous jerk sauce, or tasty Blue Mountain Coffee around the world, but we’re sure that it tastes better here. Authentic jerk meats from the Chelsea Jerk Centre, pepper shrimps from Middle Quarters and flakey saltfish from Rick’s Café are a taste of the real deal.
You’ll also find some traditional eats that haven’t made their way around the world yet. From Cow Foot Stew, to Goat Head Soup, something different is cooking in our Jamaican kitchens.
Whatever you do, immerse yourself in a world of flavour and spices, and taste something new.
