Summerhouse

The 29 Best Restaurants in Kingston, Jamaica | Eater

"Located at Harmony Hall — a former estate and national monument that dates back to the late 19th century — Summerhouse redefines heritage Caribbean dining in a picturesque setting. Talented sister duo Suzanne and Michelle Rousseau present recipes from Jamaica’s culinary traditions and the broader Caribbean region. An East Indian mezze platter features baigan (roasted eggplant), pumpkin and coconut choka, roti, and raita, alongside a redefined pickled herring flambeed in rum. Among the notable proteins you’ll find local sausages, citrus-infused catch of the day, and a fancified version of pan chicken (a street corner staple that features chicken grilled in a steel drum pan). Sunday brunch at Summerhouse is a celebratory affair, with well-dressed guests sipping on bubbly and sharing Scotch bonnet cornbread, chevre crusted with cassava, creamy seafood risotto, smoked marlin lox, and fluffy crab cakes with plantain salsa." - Leisha Wong
