Office of Nature

Top choice in Negril


The Office is but a simple thatch-roofed beach bar where you perch on a stool and order pretty much the only thing available. The lobster flesh is sweet and smoky from the wood fire, with heat from chopped Scotch bonnet peppers and a generous side of rice and peas. Crack open a cold Red Stripe and you're sorted.
