Boston Jerk Centre

Jerk Stalls · Boston Bay

Rating: 4.6 / 5

Boston Bay in Portland is widely credited as the birthplace of jerk, and the cluster of roadside stalls known collectively as Boston Jerk Centre is where the tradition is kept alive. Each stall runs its own pimento-wood pit, turning out jerk pork, chicken, fish, sausage and — when the catch is in — lobster, all served with festival, breadfruit and hot sauce. The setting is pure rural Portland: open-sided sheds, surf pounding at Boston Bay below, and a steady stream of road-trippers between Port Antonio and the Blue Lagoon. Daily 10am to 9pm.

About restaurants in Jamaica

Jamaican food is one of the most influential cuisines in the world — jerk, ackee and saltfish, curry goat, oxtail, escovitch, ital, festivals, and bammy. Scotchies in Montego Bay set the global standard for jerk; Boston Bay in Portland is where it was invented. Devon House in Kingston serves the world's best ice cream alongside legendary Norma's. Treasure Beach has Jakes and Jack Sprat. From cliff-edge Rockhouse in Negril to Houseboat Grill in Mobay, Jamaica's dining scene blends roadside perfection with world-class fine dining.
