Kingston is home to Jamaica’s finest dining scene, and you can get food from many of the world’s most distinct cuisines– Indian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Middle Eastern, West African, Greek, French and of course, Jamaican cuisine. I try to eat in much more than I dine out because it’s cheaper, healthier and I like knowing what went into my food, and how long ago it was prepared.
I enjoy cooking even if I don’t get the time to do so as often as I’d like. I’ve been cooking more since coronavirus though and you can see what I’ve been up to in the kitchen here. Occasionally I love dining out! Something about having food made for me by someone who makes a living from cooking and in a different ambiance from my humble abode gets me excited. I often find myself going back to old favorites– those places which have never let me down– but trying new places can be fun too. Here’s a list of my five favorite restaurants in Kingston.
1. Tamarind Indian Cuisine (Shop #28, Orchid Village Plaza, Liguanea)
Tamarind is my favorite restaurant in Kingston, hands down. A lovely ambiance, delicious food which has never disappointed, great portions, reasonable prices and excellent customer service. I have absolutely no complaint with this place except maybe too extensive a menu if that’s even a valid point to have. They specialize in Indian and Asian-fusion cuisine, they have extensive vegan options and their sister restaurant Saffron in Marketplace is equally as exceptional. My favorite dishes are their sweet & sour chicken, butter chicken and garlic naan. Yum!
2. South Avenue Grill (20A South Avenue, Kingston 10)
3. Usain Bolt’s Tracks & Records (67 Constant Spring Road, Market Place)
4. Chilitos JaMexican Food (88 Hope Road, Kingston 6)
5. Pepperwood Jerk (Chelsea Avenue, New Kingston)
Wrap Up
I hope you don’t mind me veering off topic a bit since I really have no new outdoor adventures to share, so I’m sharing other experiences, opinions and ideas in the mean time until that fateful day when it’s safe to resume exploring my island home once more. How are you coping during this pandemic? Let’s chat.
Also, do tell. Which restaurants are your favorites in Kingston and why? I’d love to hear from you. If there are any topics you’d love me to write about as well, feel free to share too.
