Bloomfield
Great House
8 Perth Rd
Phone 876/962-7130
This
is the only restaurant in town that's viewed as a destination
in its own right. Serving excellent food in an intricately
restored setting of historic interest, it's a hangout
for the town's expatriate Australians, Brits, Americans,
and Scandinavians. Surrounded by 2 hectares (5 acres)
of landscaping, it's perched on a hilltop about a .4km
( 1/4 mile) south of the town's commercial core, in
a verdant residential neighborhood of upscale private
homes. Start off with a drink in the cozy mahogany-trimmed
pub before dining on the rambling veranda (with views
that sweep out over the town), or a high-ceilinged dining
room with colonial-style trim and moldings. Superb menu
items include lobster ravioli, charbroiled filet mignon
with sherry sauce and crispy onions, plantain-crusted
chicken served with passion-fruit vinaigrette, and a
delicious version of jumbo shrimp stuffed with jalapeño
pepper, wrapped in bacon, and served with barbecue sauce.
The pastas are house-made.

International
Chinese Restaurant
117
Manchester Rd
Phone 876/962-1252
This
is a good place if you're seeking some change-of-pace
dining; you can eat well and inexpensively here. Some
of the Chinese dishes have been given a Jamaican dash
of flavor: a baked seafood medley comes with shredded
coconut. Other dishes could be served at your favorite
hometown Chinese eatery, such as chicken with cashew
nuts. Try the special fried rice served with a combination
of meats that include lobster, chicken, beef, and shrimp,
all laced together with flavorful, extra-black soy sauce. |
The
Den
35
Caledonia Rd
Phone 876/962-3603
One
of Mandeville's more venerated old favorites, this restaurant
is installed in a century-old setting that was once
a family home. You dine in what were the occupants'
former bedrooms in a setting of wood and wicker furnishings,
with an old rustic feeling. You can eat inside or outdoors,
and sometimes-mostly on Friday night-there is live music
in the garden, even jazz. The chefs know their pots
and pans, and turn out a savory cuisine including well-prepared
grilled curry chicken, a steak kabob (with onions, pineapple,
and peppers), and both jerk chicken and pork. Fish 'n
chips appears often, as does a mix of grilled steak,
chicken, and pork. |
