Secrets Wild Orchid Restaurants

Looking for a quick snack? Check out Barefoot Grill, the perfect stop for a burger or tasty light bite at lunch, which you can enjoy in a casual outdoor dining area (open 11-6). Another place to stop for a light bite, day or night, is the Coco Cafe, a premium coffee bar serving pastries and light snacks. Open 24-7, it’s a great spot for an early, light breakfast, or an after-dinner coffee.

For authentic Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine, the modern Blue Mountain is open from 6-11 p.m. Bordeaux serves contemporary French cuisine in an indoor elegant setting from 6-10 p.m., while dinner at El Patio feels like a mini trip to Mexico, offering Mexican dishes from 6-10 p.m. Himitsu serves a-la-carte Pan-Asian specialty dishes from 6-10 p.m.

With the beautiful weather Jamaica enjoys year-round, it comes as no surprise that many people simply adore outdoor dining.

This restaurant is open for both lunch (11 a.m. until 4 p.m.) and dinner (6 p.m. until 10 p.m.).

The classic Italian restaurant also offers open-air dining. With a cozy, romantic ambiance, guests can choose to dine indoors or outdoors. Open only for dinner (6 p.m. until 10 p.m.), they also have a wine cellar.
