Kingston Parish, Caribbean Food Guide: 10 Caribbean food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Kingston

July 12, 2020 Viva Honore

Reviews on Caribbean food in Kingston, Kingston Parish, Caribbean. Far from the north coast resort towns, Kingston is Jamaica at its most authentic, a sprawling city of contrasts spread between the east coast and the Blue Mountains. Kingston's diversity is reflected in its disparate neighborhoods, from the wealthy northern suburbs to the less affluent downtown. Travelers can discover the spirit of One Love at the Bob Marley Museum, or sample delicious ice cream at Devon House. Nearby, the former capital of Spanish Town offers insight into the area's history.

We went there for our wedding anniversary and even though the day my husband wanted to go they were not opened but whomever my husband spoke to allowed us to come anyway so we had the whole place to ourselves and it was amazing. It was the best surprise wedding anniversary ever due to the ambiance and the views oh that view. The food was great. Get the blue hot chocolate but be prepare to see it appear somewhere else the next day. The experience will stay with me forever.Congratulations on your anniversary and thank you for spending your special day with us. The woman your husband spoke with is our General Manager Zoe Alexander :) We are very happy you enjoyed your day and wish you many more years of happiness!

I usually write about sit down restaurants but this place is one of the few “roadside” jerk pits in Kingston that has now become part of my regular eateries. Firstly everything on the menus is excellent so bring your appetite and your family’s sense of culinary adventure if this is going to be your first foray into topical Jamaica Jerk and try a bit of everything ! My favorite you ask ? Well Jerk Pot Pork.. there is nothing better in my opinion!

This restaurant is noted for great local food and is reasonable priced. We had the: Pirate Catch(fried fish, grilled lobster and spicy shrimp), Whole grilled lobster, fish soup, coconut water and it cost less than $40US. The lobster and fish were fresh from the sea. This was the best local meal I had while visiting Kingston.

Reviewed By Fleece71

Having visited Kingston on several occasions, this restaurant has always been on the list to visit and we finally made it.Parking is plentiful and the restaurant itself is in very pleasant surroundings.Our waitress was friendly and efficient and we were seated by the pool and bridge.We ordered vegetable pasta with an Alfredo sauce, vegetable pasta in a pesto sauce and I had snapper with a scotch bonnet sauce. All of them were very nice and the sauces that went with the 2 pasta dishes were excellent. Portions were really large so unless you are a renowned trencherman , I wouldn’t have a starter!!Certainly worth a visit.

Terra Nova Hotel Restaurant

Reviewed By will505

This is one of the old, established restaurants in Kingston but definitely showing its age. Food was mediocre considering it is considered a 5-star level restaurant and one of the more famous in Kingston. Recipes probably haven't changed in decades. Go to some of the newer establishments in Kingston. This restaurant caters mostly to tourists and locals with birthdays. And the service was really strange -- they took our food orders and then later another waiter came to take our cocktail orders.Dear will505, Thank you for choosing The Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel, and especially for taking the time to share with us your feedback. We are grateful for your mixed review highlighting aspects of your recent experience with us and are disheartened to understand from your review that we did not meet all your expectations. We remain grateful for comments like these that help us to improve our product on a daily basis, and with these improvements, we would love to have the opportunity to host you again.Regards,Kristene Douglas

Contemporary dining and bar with indoor and outdoor seating in a cobblestone courtyard with a pond. Vegetarian and gluten free menu options are available. Open for lunch and dinner.

Reviewed By Nancy G

Chive opened in November 2018, and I took a friend for lunch in late March, 2019, hoping they had ironed out the challenges inherent in opening a new restaurant. Certainly, the menu choices very interesting and varied and the waiter was both friendly and knowledgeable about the dishes of offer. However, service was extraordinarily slow. We were in the restaurant for two hours - not an amount of time that most folks can invest at lunch time. However, the food was very good, and the house salad dressing was so special that it warrants ordering a salad simply to have the dressing. The pasta was also very good. Recommended for lunch if one has lots of time to invest.
