Richmond Hill Inn

Frommer's Review

This plantation-style house dates from 1806, when it was built in a spectacularly panoramic position by owners of the Dewars whiskey distillery. Today, it functions as an unpretentious hotel with a restaurant and bar that every Jamaican in Montego Bay seems to like. Even if you opt not to dine here, drop in for its dozens of comfortable, open-air seats, and an atmosphere that might have been lifted, intact, from the nostalgia-permeated 1960s. Food is well-prepared and flavorful, with few ambitions about presenting cutting-edge novelties. Lunches focus on salads, light platters, and sandwiches; dinners include a sautéed shrimp, an excellent house salad, stuffed breast of chicken, filet of red snapper, and a choice of dessert cakes. Many of the dishes are of a relatively standard international style, but others, especially the lobster, are worth the trek up the hill.
