Jamaica restaurants
Like most islands in the Caribbean, Jamaicans have absorbed, tweaked, and recreated the flavors of many cultures—in this case, African, Indian, Spanish, English, Arawak, and French. The result is a lively cuisine that blends cassavas, curries, bananas, local vegetables like callaloo (a leafy green similar to Swiss chard), and a whole repertory of spices, including nutmeg, mace, ginger, and Scotch bonnet peppers. Many of the island's native-born chefs are rediscovering the dishes their grandmothers cooked, and now even the international resorts are including local recipes on their menus. Find time to sample these dishes and, more important, to dine in local eateries, including the ubiquitous roadside jerk stands.
