Q – We are heading to Jamaica for a vacation that will involve a great music festival in Kingston. We’re foodies but know little about dining in Kingston. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Our air fare and hotels are set. Know you will provide trustworthy advice.
A – While Jerk Chicken is everywhere, we would suggest you seek out locally caught fish. The best restaurant in Kingston is Norma’s on the Terrace, a place that will give you a contemporary take on classic seafood preparation.
But we want you to be very careful about your transportation to and from Norma’s or anywhere else you go in Kingston at night. Kingston, Montego Bay, and several other popular tourist destinations ion Jamaica have serious crime problems and they carry a stern State Department Warning. Naïve Americans walking about at night in search of a restaurant or a taxi are potential targets. You can enjoy some wonderful nightlife and some really good Caribbean cuisine, but we’d feel better knowing that you had arranged secure transportation through the Hotel Concierge. For the record, we do not send our clients to Kingston under any circumstances.
