NEGRIL - PUSHCART RESTAURANT AT PIRATES CAVE, WEST END ROAD - JAMAICA TOURIST ISSUE 13
CUISINE: JAMAICAN
Negril’s casual dining horizon was just expanded by this new, Jamaican style restaurant and rum bar. Introduced by the Rockhouse, one of the Caribbean’s top resorts, the “Pushcart” is located at the adjacent Pirates Cave. Used by street vendors, the menu is inspired by the “Pushcart” and based upon the Jamaican street food experience. Guests can indulge in “peppered shrimp” inspired by throad side vendors of Middle Quarters in St. Elizabeth, who rush to your car with flavorful hot peppered shrimp in clear plastic bags or fish with bammy like that sold by the vendors in Port Royal and homemade jerk sausage made famous by the Boston Beach jerk center in Portland. The menu also features traditional Jamaican home cooking favorites such as curried goat, oxtail, and local desserts sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
With nightly live music performances and an open-kitchen design, an excellent rum bar and phenomenal sunset views, the Pushcart’s Pirates Cave location has been the back drop of two famous movies. The Jules Verne classic 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea was filmed in the cave directly below the new restaurant in the 50’s, while Steve McQueen was filmed in th 70’s, jumping off the cliffs to make his escape from Devil’s Island in Papillon.
Offering casual dining, the Pushcart compliments the Rockhouse Restaurant, which continues to provide a more refined Caribbean experience. The Pushcart is open from 3:00 pm - 11:00 pm daily. A live Mento Band plays from 7:00 - 8:00 pm Monday to Saturday, while DJ’s play Old School Hits on Sundays starting at 6:00 pm until late. Call the Rockhouse Hotel 957-4373 for information and free pick-up within the Negril area. Email: pushcart@rockhousehotel.com.
