Negril caters to a cosmopolitan crowd and the classiest,
albeit somewhat pricey, dining is likely to be found in
hotel restaurants; the best of these are included in the
listings.
Thanks to Negril's hippy associations, there are plenty of
vegetarian options, and you'll also find a lot of
pasta, as the area attracts a huge number of young
Italians. Vendors based at the first stretch of West End
Road sell roast or fried fish, jerk chicken and soup.
