Scotchie’s Montego Bay is the no-frills, casual eatery that allows visitors to get the real taste of Jamaica. The rustic, yet comfortable booths allow for great family vibes while enjoying freshly jerked chicken or pork as well as delicious side dishes. Fish is prepared to order and soups of the day complement any meal. Cool the spices with coconut water, local juices or the island’s famous Red Stripe beer. However you slice, bite or sip it, Scotchie’s is sure to please your palate. Scotchies Ocho Rios is located conveniently between Ocho Rios and Runaway Bay. That’s about an 1hr 25mins away by car from the Montego Bay Airport and a mere 20min journey from the Ocho Rios Cruise Ship Port. The decor of the place is rustic but classy, and the backdrop is the crystal waters of the Caribbean Ocean. The vibe is enhanced by the brilliant sun and warm sea breeze. These factors conspire to create the ideal place for Jerk or local cuisine on the island.
