Ma Petite Jamaica Shoreditch

Caribbean island vibes with plenty of rum thrown in, Ma Petite Jamaica may be small in size but it's huge in the soul. Armed with a jerk pit, meaty and vegan Caribbean classics go hand in hand with immersive live reggae sessions and a beachy bar that'll have you swaying to Bob Marley before you've even ordered your first drink.

It started in funky Camden and now it's spread its palm leaves to Shoreditch. With an explosion of colour and texture, there's not a dull moment at this eatery with gorgeous depictions of everyday life in Jamaica covering the entire walls, thatched lamp shades so large they could double as umbrellas and an intimate dining setup that encourages everyone to make new connections.

For a real taste of the Caribbean, you've come to the right place. Completely authentic and true to its free-flowing island philosophy, the jerk pit is busy pumping out irresistible smoky cuts with the likes of jerk pork chop, jerk chicken wings and even jerk salmon with refreshing mango and avocado. You can even share the jerk love with a mixed grill that's brimming with chicken wings and BBQ ribs.

How's that for a meat feast? Other goodies include the curried goat and a rich oxtail and bean stew whilst vegetarians and vegans are invited to try the vegan chicken pieces, bean burger, stir-fried veggies and vegetable curry. Not ones for holding back, Ma Petite Jamaica will blow you away with its unadulterated lust for life.
