There’s a constant debate between Juici Patties and Tastee Patties, which are the two biggest Jamaican patty chains in Jamaica. Both claim to carry the best patties, but I probably came across more locals that liked Tastee Patties.

EITS Cafe, or “Europe in the Summer Cafe”, is on Blue Mountain in Jamaica. It’s an European influenced Jamaican restaurant with a mountain top view and the vegetables are all organically grown in their own backyard. A must try carrot cake as well!

To be honest, if you’re the average tourist in Jamaica, chances are you won’t come here. However, if you’re a foodie like me, and you crave what the locals eat, then I strongly recommend it for authentic Jamaican seafood.

It was a visit to Prospect Plantation in Ocho Rios, Jamaica! It was a comedic tour of the plantation in a jitney and we were shown the crops and fruits of Jamaica. From eating fresh coconuts picked from the tree, to camel riding and more!

Jamaica is famous for coffee, and this is undoubtedly one of the most highly prized and popular high end coffees there. It’s actually considered as one of the most expensive coffees in the world and I got to visit their coffee bean plants at Blue Mountains!

The owners, chefs and cooks are all Cuban, or of Latin decent, and they claim the food is authentic, but I couldn’t help but to think it was catered to American tastes, although still very good. The ingredients used are all fresh, local and sustainable.

It’s not authentic Caribbean food, but the value is there and it’s good. The portions are big, but it’s nothing gourmet and it was almost Caribbean/Jamaican pub food, but all homemade.
