Cynthia’s on Winifred

So happy to stumble upon this place on a Sunday! Amazing food, even Anthony Bourdain says so! Sundays on Winifred beach are the busy days where locals come to hang out, def more of a local spot than a “tourist” spot. Good music, good vibes, one love.

Very relaxed atmosphere, delicious Jamaican food, good size portions. We had grilled lobster with local sides for 4500 JMD. Definitely recommend to visit.

Good food at the locals public beach. Support what you believe in. Go here if you want good, local food *on a beach* where you can take a dip while you wait, or just talk with people and learn about where you are. If you want a reliable menu (Cynthia serves what she has, call ahead if you want something specific) or punctual service (maybe our food was given to another table first by accident, it's a family operation) head to a restaurant elsewhere.

Had lunch and breakfast at Cynthia’s and she didn’t disappoint. Both were group meals, the spread was good and tasty, the kids loved (and finished) their meal too.

One of the best meals we had in Portland. Cynthia has a couple of options (fried chicken, grilled fish and vegetables when we were there). Her Jamaica sides are amazing: breadfruit that had the perfect crust, festival (fried dough) that was the perfect balance of savory and sweet. She is also a super friendly and warm lady. The fish, chicken, sides, 4 beers and tip was $5000JMD. There are a lot of shops on the beach, her place is to the left as you enter.

Great food in a beautiful location. Portions were generous and there was a nice vegetarian selection too. Very reasonably priced drinks. The beach location is stunning. Cynthia was also extremely hospitable and made us feel very welcome.

Food is nice! Although the portions could be a little bigger. We waited almost 2 hours for our food to be ready, we almost gave up waiting until it finally arrived. Luckily the location makes up for it, great beach views!

I was looking for a local restaurant and found Cynthia‘s. It‘s directly located at a beautiful and calm beach, so if you have some time get your stuff and enjoy your time here. You should consider eating twice here, if you‘re planning to stay longer. I had the brown stew chicken with all the sides, and will eat here again. Just awesome.
