What’s one thing Jamaica is globally known for? Our cuisine of course! With such a well-loved cuisine it probably comes as a shocker that Jamaican culinary tours weren't always a thing and still aren’t very popular. 

New! Take a piece of Jamaica with you💃!

Savour the memories!  Now you can get your authentic Jamaican souvenir items, as well as traditional Jamaican herbs, spices and housewares on our popular e-store. Click Here to learn more.


And, if you ever need a trustworthy and knowledgeable local guide, consider booking a private tour with us!

These food tours will not only introduce you to varying dishes of our cuisine but also some of our culinary techniques as well. As you will find with most food tours, a little history lesson is standard.

If you are looking for Jamaican culinary tours, these 3 come highly recommended.

Why should you do Jamaican Culinary Tours?

  1. Eating Outside of Your Comfort Zone- One of the finest ways to experience not only the distinctive flavour of the meal but also the culture of Jamaica is to try our cuisine. However, one of the finest ways to step outside of your comfort zone is through food tours, trying dishes that are not typically offered at hotels and resorts or, restaurants in the tourist hubs.

  2. Eat Like a Local- It is a terrific way to enhance your own cultural experience in the area as well as the smaller, independent restaurants in the neighbourhood. You will get the opportunity to test native ingredients you otherwise wouldn't know about or how to prepare.

  3. Explore New Neighborhoods- It’s a fun approach to discovering a new place while simultaneously starting a unique culinary experience. Instead of going to bars and restaurants that are popular with tourists, food excursions might take you to hidden gems. These more neighbourhood-focused cookshops and food stands offer chances for you to mingle with residents.

While you plan on enjoying some delicious and unique dishes, you may pick up a few culinary tips and tricks to take home with you, so remember to take notes.
