Located in the leafy suburbs of Gigiri, Traventure cafe feels very welcoming from the onset and I think that’s mostly because it was someone’s home before. You get into the lobby/living room area and you’re immediately drawn to the back garden where the majority of the restaurant sits. There’s lots of seating areas, lots of greenery, lots of grass and a swimming pool! So you can already tell this is a more big group, family style setting.

Ayeyo now has a dine-in restaurant! Love seeing a restaurant making big strides in such a short time😊 Located on the ground floor of Timau Plaza, Ayeyo takes up a nice little corner of the floor welcoming you with its stunning yet minimalist decor. Warm lighting, lush plants, comfy, cozy seats and a beautifully tiled backdrop in a stunning yet understated green… Everything here was outfitted in great detail and as a lover of great interior design, I was very pleased to see all the little bits and bobs that make up Ayeyo come to life.

On the very first day landing in Negril we were famished and luckily this place was very close to our hotel - literally a 5 minute walk. It was also one of the places I had noted down while doing research for this trip as it came highly recommended in many travel groups. Best in the West can be described as a street food restaurant that is right by the roadside along Negril’s Norman Manley Boulevard.

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.

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.
