Moby Dick

Top choice in Kingston


Don’t let the plastic tablecloths fool you: this unassuming hangout has been popular with besuited lawyers and judges for nearly a century. The curried goat (J$1200) is outstanding, served with roti, rice and salad and washed down with one of the excellent fresh fruit juices. Be prepared for lunchtime queues.
