A Taste of History: Fish Rundown at Grand Hotel Excelsior Port Royal
During a recent business meeting at the iconic Grand Hotel Excelsior Port Royal, lunch became an unplanned highlight as I discovered a culinary gem — the Port Royal Fish Rundown.
The dish, a generous whole snapper, first fried to perfection then gently simmered in a rich, homemade coconut sauce with fresh seasonal vegetables, was both flavourful and delightfully comforting. Each bite revealed layers of sweet, savoury, and subtly spicy notes, making the meal deliciously moreish. At $5,100 it delivered excellent value and an authentic Jamaican culinary experience complete with a beautiful view of the seventh-largest natural harbour in the world — the Kingston Harbour.
