Seafood at Gloria’s
This longstanding seafood restaurant in Port Royal is a favourite with locals. Try the steamed fish with bammy or the garlic lobster or conch when in season. There is a large two story location with cool breezes and a view of the beach. The original location is still there where die hards believe the true experience can be had as you are seated on the sidewalk itself for the delicious meal that awaits. Don’t go too hungry, it’s a meal worth waiting for but the wait is a part of the history of the eatery.
Tel: (876) 967 8066

Cocktails at Regency Bar and Lounge
Located at the award winning Terra Nova Hotel, this lively cocktail bar also features live music and an expansive wine selection. Suggestion, try the Lobster mac ‘n’ cheese when lobster is in season.
