Guidebook for Ocho Rios
Food Scene
You will need a car or taxi to visit The Ruins (about 1-1/2 miles) *OR* call ahead and they may have a shuttle available to take you there and bring you home. At The Ruins, the surroundings are as spectacular as the food. While you feast on superb cuisine such as fresh Caribbean sea specialties and succulent meat entries, most with a Chinese/Jamaican 'twist', you'll enjoy the natural beauty of the locale. Dine beside a waterfall that tumbles 40 feet into a tropical pool amidst lush forests. It's an experience to be treasured.

You will need a car or taxi to get to Evita's. It is located to the west of town on the way to Dunns River Falls at a turn-off on the left going up the mountain. This is an authentic 1860 Gingerbread House overlooking the Ocho Rios area and Mallards Bay from the side of the mountain with outside dining. Don't worry if inclement weather arrives since there is plenty of excellent seating arrangements under roof. Eva is your Italian hostess and also speaks German, French and Spanish. It is "The Best Little Pasta House in Jamaica" as their own advertisements say. And we can't agree more after dining here for many years. Evita's is famous for their excellent Northern Italian cuisine with superb pasta and seafood selections. For a special birthday, with one day's notice and proof of birth date, the birthday person receives a free dinner and free party cake. And for your wedding anniversary (also one day's notice), a free celebration cake for the whole party is provided. The only requirement (and a pleasant one) is that you are celebrating the event at Evita's.

Drinks & Nightlife
A close friend, Ravi Chatani, opened this great little sports bar early in 2006. Catering to locals and cruise ship passengers alike, it has a great menu with good prices and a 3 large flat screen TV's for a true sports bar feel, and probably the only one in Ocho Rios. Every appetizer and entree is truly delightful, and your wallet will appreciate you for the good local prices.
