Belinda's

Top choice in Ocho Rios, Port Antonio & the North Coast


Rarely have eateries looked more unassuming – some basic thatch and a jumble of cooking pots sitting over coals, but Belinda's is celebrated enough to win local food awards. Stop here if you're rafting for big tasty plates of snapper, bowls of rundown crayfish stew and other dishes so tasty you can't believe they were served out of such a basic kitchen.

Opening hours are dependent on the rafts – if you're floating by, Belinda's will be open as long as you tell your rafting guide at the start of your trip.
