Sweetwood Jerk Joint

Jerk · New Kingston

Rating: 4.4 / 5

Sweetwood Jerk Joint is the most accessible authentic jerk stop in the heart of New Kingston, sitting on Knutsford Boulevard within walking distance of the major hotels and the Emancipation Park. Pimento-wood pits, proper Jamaican sides — festival, rice and peas, steamed cabbage, roast breadfruit — and a long bar stocked with Red Stripe, Guinness and rum keep things honest. It's a reliable late-night option after a concert at Emancipation Park or a long work day in the capital's business district. Open daily 11am to 11pm.

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.
