At the flat, you’ll find street food, redefined Caribbean cuisine, and distinctive dishes from the island’s different cultures. The vegetable-focused flavors of the Rastafarian community and fresh seafood best eaten with sand between your toes. Atop his 3,500 foot hill in the lush Blue Mountains, the earth’s bounty of nature comes to your table, accompanied by gentle breezes and gently billowing clouds.
