Scotchie's Jamaican Jerk
Set against a backdrop of aquamarine waters and a bright yellow sun, Scotchie's is a jerk center par excellence, one of the most popular jerk spots on the island. "Jerk" cooking, involves slow-cooking spicy meats, such as pork or chicken over an outdoor flame.

Evita's Italian Restaurant
Nestled in the hills of Ocho Rios, high above the town center, this romantic spot offers exceptional food amidst panoramic vistas. Located within an authentic 1860s gingerbread-style house, Evita's has been serving up the finest in northern Italian cuisine since it opened its doors in 1984. Nicknamed "the best little pasta house in Jamaica," its plates of fresh pasta, infused with a little Jamaican seasoning, and fresh fruit desserts are just a few of the establishment's specialties.
