Boone Hall Oasis

Kingston


If you've got wheels, the Sunday brunch at this lovely spot near Stony Hill is worth the drive. A footpath leads down through curtains of vines and flowers to an oasis by a stream. Help yourself to a buffet of mackerel rundown, curry goat, ackee and saltfish, stew fish and other Jamaican favorites. Desserts include potato pudding and rum cake.

To get here, turn right on Eerie Castle Rd from Stony Hill Sq, then left onto River Rd. A steep dirt road leads down from River Rd to the car park.
