About this experience

Restaurants & Dining in Ocho Rios is a curated guide to the town's eateries, from beachside jerk shacks to upscale resort restaurants. The dining scene centres on fresh seafood, Jamaican spices, and international cuisine, with many venues overlooking the Caribbean Sea. This activity suits food-focused travellers who want to sample local flavours in a lively port town.

What to expect

  • Sample authentic jerk chicken or pork from roadside stands along Main Street, cooked over pimento wood for a smoky flavour.
  • Dine at a waterfront restaurant such as the Ruins at the Falls, where tables sit beside a cascading waterfall and tropical gardens.
  • Expect main courses priced between $15 and $40 USD, with fresh grilled snapper or lobster often available at market price.
  • Many venues offer live reggae or mento music on weekend evenings, creating a relaxed, local atmosphere.
  • Try a traditional Jamaican breakfast of ackee and saltfish with fried dumplings at a local cookshop, served from 7:00 AM.
  • Resort restaurants in the area provide all-inclusive buffet or à la carte options, with dress codes requiring smart casual attire after 6:00 PM.
