Dickie's Banana

Dickie’s Banana (Bryan’s Bay, about 1.5 km west of town center, cell tel. 876/809-6276, reservations required, hours based on demand, US$25 per person) is also known as "Best Kept Secret" since it was the winner of the Jamaica Observer’s Best Kept Secret award in 2002. It has wonderful food at a great value and even better service. Five courses are served up based on Dickie’s creative culinary magic, with no ordering necessary. Just let him know if there’s something you’d prefer or something you don’t eat and he’ll take care of the rest. For the main course there’s a choice of fish, chicken, goat, lobster, or vegetarian. Dickie Alvin Butler is assisted by his wife Marjorie Edwards (cell tel. 876/869-4391) and their son Dennis (cell tel. 876/809-6276).
