Port Antonio isn't a gourmand's paradise, but you can get good, inexpensive Jamaican meals at a handful of places around town. Patties are available from several outlets along West Street, and there's a branch of Juicy Beef, which sells lobster and chicken patties, on Willam Street (parallel to Harbor Street at the eastern end of town). The food court at the top of Village of St George also offers some passable lunch options, and you can get great baked goods at CC's Bakery,25 West St.

Anna Bananas Allan Avenue. A seaside restaurant overlooking the bay, it's one of the best inexpensive places to eat in the area, with excellent, smiling service. Popular with tourists and locals alike, the food is reliable Jamaican; breakfast, lunch and dinner are served daily.

Dickie's Sweet Banana Stop On the A4 just west of Port Antonio. On a knoll as you round the far bend of Port Antonio's west harbor, this simple wooden house scaled down the Cliffside is easily missed, but is one of the best choices around. The moderately priced four-course dinners are fabulous (order the morning before you want to eat); choices include ackee on toast, garlic lobster and steamed fish. You can also drop by for breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea.

Lion's Hut Café 10 Queen St. Relaxed Rasta-oriented place with outdoor seating and delicious ital-style meals: ackee and callaloo breakfasts, steamed veggie and brown rice, jerk chicken, and roast, escovitch or shredded fish. Great natural juices.

Port Antonio Marina West Street. With funky décor and a pretty Harborside setting, this is perhaps the most up market place in town. The moderately priced lunch menu offers pizzas, sandwiches, burgers, chicken wings and the like; there's good lobster and seafood for dinner.
