What happens when you let me roam free in Jamaica?! I find ice cream! I set out on a hunt for ice cream along with our local driver. It wasn’t just any ordinary ice cream I was looking for, but it was “the best ice cream in Jamaica”. I had to try it!

I’ve never felt so “non-Canadian” until I visited Quebec. L’Orignal means “moose”, and the restaurant takes on a French-Canadian theme featuring game and seafood. It’s a local hot spot with a hidden location so it’s not as obvious as a choice.

It’s home made French-Canadian cuisine and the food won’t blow you away, but it may surprise you. It’s honest, simple, and well executed. From what I tried it wasn’t anything I’d rave about, but also nothing I’d complain about.

Romados was actually on my original foodie itinerary and I had randomly found it! My trusted foodie friend who lived in Montreal recommended it. It was described as a take out hole in the wall serving Portuguese chicken at its finest.

It’s a classic. It’s like a vintage Waltham pocket watch, but it could use a polish. The clientele ages faster than the brand and style. It’s an award winning hotel restaurant serving European and French cuisine with West coast flavours.
Follow Me Foodie to Resort Dining in Jamaica! I dined around some restaurants on the Sandals Royal Plantation which included one flop, one solid authentic Jamaican gourmet buffet breakfast, and a memorable 5 course fine dining dinner.
