Ocho Rios, Jamaica Restaurants

Ocho Rios is located in the parish of Saint Ann on the north coast of Jamaica. The city was once a sleepy fishing village, but in recent years has become a popular port of call for cruise ships. Tourism is now the biggest industry in Ocho Rios and many restaurants cater to both locals and tourists. Jamaican food is typically characterized by the use of pungent herbs and strong spices, but the influx of tourism has created a demand for fusion cuisines that combine traditional Jamaican herbs and spices with dishes inspired by other cultures.
