Jamaicans regard Boston Beach as the birthplace of pungent jerk cooking. On approach to Port Antonio coming from Ocho Rios make it a point to sample the chicken at Blue Berry Hill jerk stand just outside Buff Bay.
You can treat yourself to a fine dining experience at several area restaurants. Hotel Mockingbird Hill’s Mille Fleurs Restaurant is known for gourmet dining with a nouveau tropical flair. Start with a tomato and eggplant soup with rosemary butter, followed by delicious steamed fish. San San Tropez is noted as one of the area’s best spots for home-cooked Italian cuisine, homemade bread, salads, pastas, and pizza. Norma’s at the Marina operates a restaurant on the beach.
Authentic Jamaican fare is easy to find. In Bryan’s Bay, just west of town, is rustic Dicky’s (reservations are required, but take your own beverages). Locals say one of the best views of the harbor is from the restaurant’s restroom. For more local food, try Woody’s in Drapers and Anna Bananas, at East Harbor. For nightlife, raise the roof at Roof Club, a 40-year-old hotspot.
