Restaurants & Dining in Port Antonio

About this experience

What to expect

• Meals at local cookshops cost between JMD 800 and JMD 1,500 for a plate of brown stew fish with rice and peas, served with fried plantain and festival bread.
• Seaside jerk stalls along the Boston Bay stretch, 10 miles east of town, grill chicken and pork over pimento wood, with a half-chicken portion priced around JMD 1,200.
• Hotel restaurants at the Trident Castle and Geejam offer multi-course tasting menus (JMD 8,000–12,000 per person) with reservation required at least 24 hours ahead.
• Fresh catch is sold daily at the Port Antonio fish market from 06:00 to 09:00; visitors can buy snapper or lobster and have it grilled at nearby stalls for a JMD 500 cooking fee.
• Vegetarian options are limited but available at Ital-style eateries near the main square, serving callaloo, breadfruit, and coconut rice for about JMD 700 per plate.
• Most restaurants accept cash only; ATMs are scarce, so bring Jamaican dollars, as US dollars are often exchanged at a 10–15% unfavourable rate.
