Billy's Place

Billy's Place
A2, 30 minutes east of Whitehouse
There are no frills about Billy's Place; it's a simple Jamaican side of the road eatery that serves simply tasty Jamaican food. Most people take it to go; don't miss the fiery peppered shrimp.

Bloomfield Great House
Mandeville
This beautifully restored greathouse is Mandeville's finest restaurant. Once Bill Laurie's Steakhouse, this location has reopened and refurbished. Guests can dine outside on an open air verandah for a spectacular view of the Mandeville lights at night or inside in the antiques-filled main dining room. A private dining room for quiet evenings alone or for families is also available. And don't miss the bar, an all-wood affair reminiscent of a century old pub. Australian and Chilean wines are served in the bar which is open daily and affords a great view of the city. We recommend this restaurant for its romantic atmosphere, great view, and innovative cuisine.

Lunch and dinner offerings include an international-Caribbean cuisine. Start with an appetizer of Grilled Curried Shrimp with pineapple-cucumber salsa, Shrimp Ravioli with smoked marlin cream sauce, or Chicken Satay with peanut sauce. Entrees include filet mignon with roasted garlic guava sauce, Beef Wellington, Seafood Kebob, Shrimp Creole, Grilled Pork Chops stuffed with tropical fruits and served with plum sauce, and Blackened Snapper Filet on a bed of Caribbean salsa. Dinner service, with candlelit tables, is especially elegant and a good choice for a romantic dinner out. On Sundays, a popular Sunday brunch is served for J$450 including breakfast drinks (mimosa, Bloody Mary, coffee), omelets, French toast, ackee and saltfish, scallop fritters, grilled chicken salad, fish and chips, and more.

Jake's
Treasure Beach
Guests at Jake's enjoy Jamaican cuisine, served in the open-air restaurant. Local dishes such as ackee and saltfish, conch salad, pumpkin soup, and steamed fresh fish make up the menu.

Little Ochie
Alligator Pond
This restaurant is a favorite with Jamaicans and it's easy to see why; it specializes in fresh from the sea seafood (the fishermen literally bring in their catch just down the beach.) Dining is primarily outdoors; some tables are old boats built up on stilts (see photo, right).

The Manchester Arms Pub and Restaurant
Mandeville Hotel, Mandeville
Like a traditional English pub, the dark, cool place is an excellent place to meet other travelers and enjoy a cool beer. When you're ready for a meal, dine on Jamaican specialties.

Pelican Bar
near Treasure Beach
You don't just go to the Pelican Bar for the food---although the fresh seafood is tasty--but for the experience. This simple bar, made of driftwood and looking like it's going to set adrift at any minute, is located out in the sea on a sandbar. You can get your Treasure Beach hotel to arrange for you a boat ride out to the bar.
