Get a taste of island life without leaving the city at these Caribbean eateries.
With the 58th annual Notting Hill Carnival taking to the streets this August bank holiday weekend, celebrations of Caribbean culture will be happening across the city. And what better way to get involved than by enjoying rum punch, beef patties, and ackee and saltfish in one of the best authentic spots London has to offer?
From delicious plant-based restaurants to the “best ever” Caribbean food in the heart of Brixton (or so says Stylist’s Meena Alexander), here are six perfect places to get a taste of island life.
Guanabana
Home of the famed jerk island roast – a half chicken served with Yorkshire puddings, plantain and jerk gravy available – on Saturdays and Sundays. Other menu highlights include a jerk Caesar salad, tasty garlic prawns and a classic oxtail and butterbean stew.
Address: 85 Kentish Town Rd, London NW1 8NY
Ma Petite Jamaica
Address: 4 Inverness St, London NW1 7HJ
Jam Delish
Address: 1 Tolpuddle St, London N1 0XT
Danclair’s Kitchen
A small restaurant serving brunch, lunch and dinner in the heart of Brixton Village Market. Start with the ‘fish, wings and tings’ famous cod fish fritters before moving on to a feast of grilled pepper prawns, BBQ pork ribs and stew vegetables.
Address: 67-68, Granville Arcade, Coldharbour Ln, London SW9 8PS
Negril
The home of award-winning jerk chicken and delicious cocktails, this authentic Caribbean restaurant on Brixton Hill is temporarily closed but well worth adding to your list to visit when it reopens.
Address: 132 Brixton Hill, London SW2 1RS
Cottons
Address: 157-159 Notting Hill Gate, London W11 3LF
