Irie Jamaican Cuisine

Chef Robert cooks everything from scratch to traditional recipes, and the jerk chicken is what people come back for — that and the hot sauce, which is made in-house and is genuinely hot. Around it are curry goat, barbecue ribs, Jamaican patties, Caribbean soups and a proper list of vegetarian and vegan dishes. The ginger drink is worth ordering.

You can eat on the small terrace or take it away, which is the cheaper option and the one most residents use. Prices are well below what the boulevard restaurants charge — this is the best value hot meal in Kralendijk. The days and hours vary and are listed differently in different places, so ring +599 780 2629 first. An hour if you sit down.
