We are in Ocho Rios today🇯🇲 Miss T’s Kitchen came highly recommended from the internets so I was excited to finally try it out. It’s such a vibrant place with so much colour and a little playground right at the entrance😊 The hostess we met at the door wasn’t in the best mood though, not sure why… she barely wanted to seat us yet the place was quite empty for a Sunday evening.

Starting the Jamaican series today is the Pelican Grill that is located right on the Hip Strip of Montego Bay, overlooking the sea. It’s a family owned restaurant that’s been in business since 1964, serving up authentic Jamaican food. We came here for dinner on a Saturday night and didn’t find it too packed, which is nice. The decor feels very classic diner like, nice cosy booths with lots of room for big or small groups.

A new joint that’s giving Instagram girlies a run for their money is Cuban Code, a restaurant + cigar lounge located on Muthangari Road. I really have to say though - for a restaurant this fancy, why don’t they have signage on the road? I really thought Google maps had failed me because it leads you to this big office block called African Guarantee Fund - a building that looks VERY closed on weekends.

I finally got to check out the newly redone Bao Box after what seems like very many years since I was last at the original Bao Box. It’s located on General Mathenge Drive in quite an expansive compound. The entrance is a nice little arch pathway covered in lights leading you into the reception area where you’re welcomed by the hostess and a nice neon sign blazing the words ‘welcome to the jungle’… okay theme!

Amka cafe is a very vibrant cafe located at Delta towers westlands. What I wasn’t expecting was walking through a gym to get to it lol. So is it part of the gym? They’re just sharing a floor? It’s very confusing. Anyway… once you get past the gym part - you walk into the cafe which has both an indoor and patio section. I like the dark colour scheme they have going on with the pops of colour from the yellow cushion and the bright wood tables and chairs.

Taking a trip to Ethiopia today by way of Abyssinia🇪🇹 The only Ethiopian restaurant I frequent often is Habesha so this was a nice new experience. I was at the Westlands branch for dinner with some friends. They have quite a cozy setup, both indoors and outdoors and the owner, Mikias was around and gave us a warm welcome telling us the story of how the family run business came to be.
