The Lion's Den is a vegetarian Jamaican Restaurant run by Rastafarians. No meat products, but they do serve fish. They used to be on Woodland Street, by relocated to North Main after the old place burned down. Try the Ital Stew or the Rasta Pasta. Have a soy patty. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also make great fruit and vegetable smoothies.

Seashore Jamaican Restaurant

 

Seashore is on Garden Street just off Albany Avenue. It has excellent seafood soup and conk soup – great to have in the winter. It comes in a Styrofoam cup. Careful of inhaling little flakes of scotch bonnet pepper which give the soup a strong kick.

They have some excellent fish dishes (Jamaican’s love whole fried fish), but fish in general should be avoided when working on the ambulance as unless eaten quickly and disposed of, it can significantly stink up the ambulance. I go here quite reguarly. The service is fast, the food very good. It's location makes it very convinient to hit from Saint Francis.
