Belinda's Riverside Restaurant

The food at Belinda's is authentic Jamaican style cooking. Gavin, the manager, is very helpful, and can even arrange the raft that stops by the restaurant, and ensure you have everything you need. Miss Belinda and her crew made me feel welcomed and at peace.

So fresh! So plentiful! Belinda hauls in the ingredients everyday to make meals for those going down the Rio Grande. Meal was delicious. We shared the fish - sooo flavourful! Loved every bite! The plantain was amazing! Best to order ahead just in case she runs out. Meal was $3000jmd and so worth it - Drinks however were pricey - we shared a Ting and our raft captain had 1 drink and it was $1300jmd.
We swan off shore after our meal. Was perfect stop!

All my guests in 5 years let me know that Belinda s food was the best they ever eat in jamaica.
They like her personality and kindness and the raw place by the riverside with special atmosphere.
Thanks a lot Belinda to make my guests happy.

Belinda's food was DELICIOUS. So good I had the curry goat with all the sides. Was $2000 JMD and $1000 JMD for two drinks for the captain and I. I would sail down the river again just to eat her food. So good.

Make your reservations! This women served me a delicious vegetarian meal. Love the flavors & I know she takes pride in her cooking after just 1 bite. Thanks for spoiling me on a beautiful ride down the river & also her Son for being her mgr & making sure it was prepared as I reserved abt 48hrs in advance. Business run well. Great prices & great service. Thanks Belinda.

It’s the only place to eat on your Rio Grande rafting trip, but don’t think that means to expect less than the best. Belinda has a couple of choices of meats each day and a plethora of Jamaican sides. Her goat curry is hot, flavorful and the most tender I’ve ever had.
For about $20USD ($3000JMD) we got big meals for 2 and rum punch.

Call ahead (or have your hotel do so) to make sure she’s open when you do your raft tour. I’d do the raft tour again just to have lunch at Belinda’s!

Belinda is a fabulous chef! We had heard good things about her food but we were blown away by the variety of all we were served, and the portions were generous. Our bellies were nice and full, and we are so pleased to have had the opportunity to try Belinda’s delicious food!

Belinda's is one of the best experiences I have ever had. Traveling back to Jamaica soon and wondering if the restaurant is open at this time. Honestly praying we can make another visit. The food was awesome and Belinda is a wonderful host. Very customer oriented and takes great care of her guests. Would I go again in a heartbeat. Belinda PLEASE let me know if you are open. I need to make a reservation for 15 and trying to contact you!

The best cooked food in Jamaica, hands down. The raft journey there makes it even more worthwhile.
