1. Boston Jerk Center
The list is starting off strong! At this point, Boston jerk is not just only one of the most popular restaurants in Portland, it is an entire attraction and is one of the main reasons people travel from all over the island and the world to Boston Beach.
The Boston Jerk Center is a mall centred on authentic, organic and jerk cooking done the old-fashioned homemade way. The cluster of small restaurants and vendors is centred around seven jerk pits, that serve the most delicious Jerk pork, chicken and seafood. But, jerk meals aren't the only things for sale. Fresh fruit juices, or even just fruit, and jewellery are available, and a resident DJ is on hand.
2. Roots 21 Bar & Kitchen
This is one of those restaurants that has something for everyone regardless of age and diet restrictions. On their menu, you will find the normal Jamaican specialities like oxtail and curry goat, but if you are feeling a bit adventurous you can try some grilled Mahi Mahi, grab a seafood boil that serves two or even try some of their speciality appetizer fritters like the Irish Choka or Pumpkin Talkari.
