Best beef patties-Falmouth

The port at Falmouth is a nice, clean developed area with indoor shops, and a few outdoor kiosks including a stand that sells patties. They are pretty good. We took a walking tour with two licensed guides which took us through the streets and neighborhoods. There were a lot of sketchy people yelling at us, trying to sell drugs, but the guides kept them at bay. I would not recommend going outside the gates unescorted. Buy those patties inside the newer compound. There’s a nice indoor coffee shop (free samples).

Serious question here. Is there something real special about them that makes you want to get them? Haven’t seen this mentioned before.

 

Price sounds good.

 

You get Jamaican patties for the same reason you get jerk chicken, curry goat or Red Stripe beer. To taste the specialties of the country.

There is a place in Falmouth, in town called Juci Patties thats supposed to be the "best in town" ... Then again, Peppers Jerk Center is supposedly the "best jerk chicken" in town, which I found to be the least authentic jerk chicken ever... My game plan for Falmouth (if I ever happen to cruise there again) is to just stay on the ship.

Thanks for the info about Peppers. I was thinking about venturing there as well. Now I won't. I think if I feel like going for a walk, I will try out Juici Patties which does get good reviews on TripAdvisor and offers cornmeal porridge as well.

 

If Bob Marley mentions it in a song, I gotta try it. :D:D:D;p;p;p

We booked a Jamaica Culinary Tour with Janet Crick. It was really a food/walking tour. We tried several foods, including a wonderful beef patty. Everything was great and it was cool to learn some of the history of the area. We had two guides with us and no one really bothered us at all. We very much enjoyed our time there.

Probably best way to try everything too.

Just an FYI. The walk to Peppers goes right through town, which was pretty sketchy. The direction of Juici Patties looked even worse. There were pretty good patties for sale inside the port, and there were a few different types.

Those patties that you buy at the stall right in the port area are so delicious that I look forward to them every time we go there. I usually get one first thing in the morning when we get off the ship, then I have to have another right before leaving in the afternoon. I highly recommend them.
