"Many call this open-air jerk eatery the best in Jamaica, but the Scotchies Too branch in Ocho Rios certainly makes it a tough call."

"A bit out of the way, but worth the effort if you’re after some excellent jerk cooking; pork, chicken, fish and seafood are served with festival, breadfruit, yam or sweet potato."
Frommer's
"Scotchie’s serves what is arguably the best jerk chicken on the island...just a collection of tin-roofed structures around a few palapa-shaded tables by the side of the road."

"Set on the mountainside above Ocho Rios, this long-standing favorite of both locals and tourists delivers magnificent from the terrace so arrive early to grab a seat."
Rough Guide
"The best-advertised (if a little overpriced) pasta and pizza on the north coast, served on a gingerbread verandah overlooking the bay."
Frommer's
"You can dine in the wood-floored interior surrounded by paintings, photos of Evita’s many famous patrons, at the mahogany bar (good cocktails)...some dishes are straight-up Italian"
