Gloria's Seafood City

Top choice in Kingston


The new Victoria Pier development on the waterfront is part of the reinvigoration of Downtown, and Gloria's is at the heart of it. Sit on the deck looking over the sea with a plate of roast, grilled or stewed seafood.

The zingy curry shrimp particularly set our taste buds on fire, but even with just a beer or juice and maybe a side of fries, it's a tremendous place to watch the sun on the sea, and the pelicans lazily flying by.
