Negril

Let’s set the stage – picture yourself on a warm island, you smell the saltiness of the ocean, you feel a slight breeze, you hear the waves crashing on the beach, and maybe you have a pineapple coconutty drink in your hand. Okay now that you are thinking and picturing that, put yourself in the heart of Atlanta and you’ll find yourself at Negril. Negril is a Caribbean Inspired restaurant serving up incredibly delicious food and dishes that you have probably never tried. If you love good food and love trying new things, THIS is the place you need to try.

My husband and I popped in (with a reservation) for dinner on our short trip to Atlanta, and this is a restaurant that would keep me coming back to ATL. Here is what we tried: Cod Fish Cakes, Jumbo Shrimp, and Ital Stew. The Cod Fish Cakes might have been our favorite thing we ate – they were salty, crispy, and light. I loved these so much and could have eaten an entire plate for my meal! The Jumbo Shrimp though were also fantastic – cooked in a bright, rich tomato sauce and served with hearty grits. We thoroughly enjoyed the dishes and flavors from Negril and if you are looking for something new and flirty, you need to check them out!
