Opened in November 1995, Marguerites has since established
itself as the North Coast’s finest seafood restaurant.
Originally built in the fifties and formerly owned by
a succession of expatriates including a US senator,
the restaurant has been transformed by Jamaican co-owners
Brian Jardim and Ian Dear into an elegant and sophisticated
water’s edge bistro, specializing in fresh, creatively
prepared seafood.
Well placed along Montego Bay’s liveliest thoroughfare
Gloucester Avenue, (popularly known as “The Hip
Strip”), the revamped Marguerites offers a seaside
deck for romantic al fresco dining and an elegantly
appointed interior dining room, decorated with the work
of local artists and complete with an open flambé
kitchen.
There is also an intimate, wood paneled bar in which
guests may enjoy cocktails, Caribbean cigars and a wide
selection of fine wines from all over the world. The
bar adjoins a secluded “Secret Garden” and
patio, perfect for private dinners “a deux”.
Whichever location diners or drinkers may prefer, a
relaxed yet sophisticated ambiance prevails.
The cuisine, described as "Creative Caribbean seafood"
is considered amongst the island's best. Constantly
being tweaked in sync with diner's tastes and availability
of the freshest marine specialties, the menu celebrates
the abundance of local seafood, including shrimp, scallops,
fish, calamari and lobster. Pasta and vegetarian entrees
complement Marguerites' signature dishes, Sanibel Island
Treasure Chest, Tijuana Shrimp and Sesame Seared Yellowfin
Tuna. Meat-lovers aren't forgotten, however, and can
enjoy a large selection of imported steaks.
Opened to rave reviews by local Montegonians, Marguerites
has become the fashionable choice for visiting international
celebrities like Ralph Lauren, Spike Lee, Uma Thurman,
Tiger Woods, Danny Glover and Harry Belafonte –
who have all praised the attentive service and inventive
menu.
Open daily for dinner between 6:00 pm and 10:30 pm,
Marguerites offers, on request, a complimentary shuttle
service for hotel guests in the Montego Bay area, east
to Trelawny Beach and westwards to Round Hill.
Most major credit cards are accepted and reservations
are recommended. Marguerites is located on Gloucester
Avenue, Montego Bay. For information and reservations,
