t’s official. The wide cross-section of Jamaicans working up an appetite for dining out is still growing, and that makes the Guide an even more important culinary blueprint for finding your way through the options. Let’s take you on a new journey of food and flavour.
With new restaurants opening all the time, well-established eateries still work hard to keep standards high by offering rustic ambiance, sophistication, exotic fare and consistent turnout of signature dishes and service. The handy Guide allows for a fast and informative way to choose where and what to eat all year – especially each autumn during Restaurant Week. In this issue, we’ve expanded our directory of restaurants, grouping those in and around the Ocho Rios and Montego Bay area. In addition to menus (the reason you get the Menu Guide in the first place), you’ll find a fresh crop of sumptuous food images to tickle the taste buds. There is also a peek into the world of wines, reminding us how much a good wine can ‘make’ your dining experience. You should also fit our food calendar into your own, keeping space for all the various culinary and cultural mixers happening through-out the year.
As usual, we welcome your suggestions as to how to improve Jamaica’s favourite ‘what/where/ when to eat’ companion. And now that you have a good idea of what the Guide has to offer, do partake in as many of the featured Jamaican delights as possible. Welcome to Volume 5 of The Jamaica Restaurant Menu Guide. Dig in and enjoy!

“You don’t have to cook fancy or complicated masterpieces – just good food from fresh ingredients.” – Julia Child
J
ulia Child could easily have had our country in mind when she made that statement, for Jamaica is blessed with a wide variety of fresh ingredients and an even wider array of herbs and spices to stimulate the palate. And since food is an essential item for both us who live here as well as those who visit, this variety helps Destination Jamaica stand out from the crowd.
The good thing is that Jamaica’s cuisine has come of age in its diversity. We can prepare fresh delectable fare as easily as we can prepare fancy masterpieces to tantalize the most discerning palate. It represents our bold and insouciant flavour with undertones of African, Asian and European influences blended to form one distinct taste. And this mouthwatering food is presented with quality service in an awe-inspiring ambience.
That is where the Jamaica Restaurant Menu Guide comes in ... this delightful publication presents information and images of the many eating places across the island. There is a wide cross section, from rustic roadside stops to five-star speciality restaurants and, as always, the images will stimulate the senses even before you get to the venues. The Jamaica Tourist Board is pleased to be associated once more with this publication. And we congratulate the publishers on continuing to contribute in this meaningful way. I invite you to leaf through the pages and take your cue from the information within. Then go out and enjoy the many dining options. After all, food is a common ground in this universal experience. Happy reading and bon appétit!

What’s All The Fuss About
Wine Anyway?
by Chris Reckord
T
he world of wine is a truly fascinating one. What other libation do we enjoy by ourselves or in a group, that can appeal to all our senses and our intellect at the same time? Each glass of wine we consume is connected to some specific geography, has some interesting history, is made and truly enjoyed by people who are passionate about the subject. We’re not talking about wine snobs here – nobody likes a wine snob.
Wine and Food Food and wine are meant to go together. However, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, not all food and wine taste good together. Are there any food-and-wine rules? Only one: The best wine to pair with the meal is the one you like! Long gone are the days of the old food pairing of red wine with red meat, white wine with white meat and fish. For some, the end objective is to choose a wine and food combination that will bring out the best in the food and enhance the subtleties of the wine. For others, the objective is to choose a combination that includes food they enjoy without affecting the way the winemaker intended his wine to be consumed. Today’s vintners are crafting more and more ‘food friendly’ wines for us to enjoy. Despite what you might think, foods almost always change the way wines taste, hardly the other way around. On a few occasions, the perfect match explodes on your palette and with all the stars in alignment creates a magical gastronomic experience. The wine lists in Jamaican restaurants continue to improve. In fact, a number of places featured in this issue were nominated for the Jamaica Observer Food Awards ‘Best Wine List’ category in 2008 and 2009. So remember to start asking for the wine list once you’ve been seated.

What to serve with dessert? Sweet foods reduce the wine aromas and make wine textures such as acidity, bitterness, astringency and tannins stronger. So it will be a better dining experience if you finish the big red wine you had with dinner before the dessert is brought to the table. The wine you have with sweet foods should be equal to or greater than the sweetness in the food. Chris Reckord writes a weekly wine column in the Jamaica Observer. He is also a director of Kingston’s one-stop location for all things ‘Cigars.Wines. Spirits’: Molasses – A Taste of Jamaica, which is also home to Bin26 Wine Bar.

LOCAL GRILLING CHAMPION
GOES INTERNATIONAL
J
o Jo’s Farm Market first opened its doors to the public on Waterloo Road, Kingston in 2002. It may all have begun as the little ‘Uptown Coronation Market’, with its large selection of fresh, local produce, but after just a few short years, JoJo’s added take-out and Jo Jo’s Jerk Pit & More, becoming one of Kingston’s best kept secrets, a place where one can ‘Feel Jamaica and Taste Jamaica’. While still sizzling from their win at the 2009 Jack Daniel’s All Jamaica Grill Off, Jo Jo’s earned the opportunity to represent Jamaica at the world’s largest and most prestigious invitational grilling competition: the 2009 American Royal Barbeque in Kansas City, Missouri, the most prestigious barbeque competition in the United States and the largest barbecue contest in the world. Joining nearly 500 grilling teams from across the globe and competing in four culinary contests, Team Jamaica took Kansas City by storm from the get-go. On Friday night, known on the circuit as Fantastic Friday, the grilling and partying carried on through the night before the official judging on Saturday. With its booth festooned in red, green and gold, Team Jamaica fired up their grill pit and settled in for 16 hours of slow cooking brisket. Jamaica Trade & Invest and the Jamaica Tourist Board supported the effort, and as our colours flowed, so too did our Jamaican hospitality, Appleton Rum and Red Stripe Beer – the perfect partner for Team Jamaica’s samplings of jerk pork and chicken.
29
And while there are differences between Jamaica’s seasonings and grilling methods compared to traditional American Royal barbeque methods, it was all thumbs up for Team Jamaica’s fare from the patrons. Added to that, Jamaica was the first Englishspeaking Caribbean country to be invited to this prestigious event, earned coverage from two television stations, local newspapers and CNN, and made an impressive mark on the competition, endearing many to our traditional excellence in hospitality. “The popularity of our jerk cooking and savoury seasonings among the public put Jamaica on the culinary map for future competitions of this kind,” said Jo Jo’s Anna Chin when she got back to Jamaica. “We made our presence known, and despite the long grilling hours, fall temperatures and our cultural differences in grilling methods, it was a fantastic experience, not only for Team Jamaica – Jo Jo’s Jerk Pit & More – but for Jamaica itself, as a viable brand in the American culinary arena. All of us on Team Jamaica bid farewell to Kansas City warmed in spirit and flushed with pride for our country. From Jamaica to Kansas City, Jo Jo’s has proven itself a culinary tour de force in the international grilling arena. Come feel Jamaica... Taste Jamaica.

TheNe The w Roots WineSensation The name conjures up thoughts of strength and vitality, of legends made in the Mother Continent and the New World. Despite what you may think, Mandingo now also stands for the hottest new roots tonic wine on the market, capturing the spirit and vitality of the West African people after whom it is named. Fans of fitness and good food should not be surprised that the product stands at the top of its category. Unlike other ‘health wine’ products, Mandingo is a true tonic, an exotic blend of sarsaparilla, astragalus, maca root, panax ginseng and other roots. Specially fermented to a rich red colour, the result is a delectable aroma, undeniably smooth taste and a kicking after-effect. Not only are these herbs and roots age-old health boosters, but they’re also widely regarded as antiviral protection against colds, the flu and some allergies. Good news for discerning foodies who want a nice cold complement to a tasty Jamaican dish like jerk pork – and some health benefits at the same time. Just look at the array of additives that fortify Mandingo:
Astragalus boosts and strengthens the immune system, acting as a diuretic and helping blood vessels relax. It also aids in general cardiovascular health. Maca Root increases the body’s resistance and adaptation to external conditions and offers support in fertility, energy level, stress management and libido. Guarana helps maintain stamina, detoxifies the blood, reduces intestinal gas, fights indigestion, fatigue and diarrhea. Brazilians swear the extract is an aphrodisiac. Schisandra rejuvenates the liver and reproductive system, increases skin health and helps to fight infections. Panax Ginseng improves the circulatory system, enhances the body’s metabolism and promotes endurance. It also increases life expectancy, fights disease and relaxes the nervous system. Sarsaparilla Root is increases blood circulation to rheumatic joints and the body’s metabolic rate.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) is used as an aid in physical training, turning carbohydrates and fats into energy. It also improves the ability to respond to stress and promotes the health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth and liver. Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6) helps the body turn protein, fat and carbohydrates into energy and in maintaining a healthy immune and nervous system. B6 helps fight heart disease and regulates hormone production. Cynocobalamin (Vitamin B12) helps support higher energy levels, emotional stability and mental clarity. It is used also to help lower homocysteine levels, lessening the risk of heart disease. Mandingo Roots Tonic Wine is one of the VAP Ltd. family of successful brands, which include Taboo Energy and Pure Syrup. Average retail price is $150. Mandingo is available in retail outlets, in 6-packs, and at several eateries across Jamaica.
Niacin (Vitamin B) is used as a treatment for coronary artery disease, lowers cholesterol and the risk of heart attack.

t’s official. The wide cross-section of Jamaicans working up an appetite for dining out is still growing, and that makes the Guide an even more important culinary blueprint for finding your way through the options. Let’s take you on a new journey of food and flavour.
With new restaurants opening all the time, well-established eateries still work hard to keep standards high by offering rustic ambiance, sophistication, exotic fare and consistent turnout of signature dishes and service. The handy Guide allows for a fast and informative way to choose where and what to eat all year – especially each autumn during Restaurant Week. In this issue, we’ve expanded our directory of restaurants, grouping those in and around the Ocho Rios and Montego Bay area. In addition to menus (the reason you get the Menu Guide in the first place), you’ll find a fresh crop of sumptuous food images to tickle the taste buds. There is also a peek into the world of wines, reminding us how much a good wine can ‘make’ your dining experience. You should also fit our food calendar into your own, keeping space for all the various culinary and cultural mixers happening through-out the year.
As usual, we welcome your suggestions as to how to improve Jamaica’s favourite ‘what/where/ when to eat’ companion. And now that you have a good idea of what the Guide has to offer, do partake in as many of the featured Jamaican delights as possible. Welcome to Volume 5 of The Jamaica Restaurant Menu Guide. Dig in and enjoy!
