“We don’t just feed appetites – We feed souls
Christopher’s Restaurant serves up locally-sourced gourmet fare on an ocean-view veranda. Our Executive Chef specializes in traditional island dishes prepared with contemporary international flair.
Experience Jamaica’s unique fusion of European, Asian, and Indian flavors with local favorites like braised oxtail, steamed calaloo with Scotch bonnet peppers, and (of course) jerk chicken. Or sample one of Chef’s many creations, including pumpkin soup with toasted coconut, smoked marlin roll, and pimento-smoked beef tenderloin.
Dress up or down for a dining experience called “by far one of the best the island has to offer.”

Our culinary philosophy embraces the freshest produce and the bounty of the Caribbean.
Nearly everything we use comes straight from the island. Chef Conroy personally selects ingredients from the resort’s gardens and nearby farmer’s markets. And the day’s catch is delivered straight to our dock by local fishermen.
Our commitment to safeguarding the environment extends well beyond ingredients. “I take a personal initiative to use recycled materials in the kitchen,” Chef explains, “as well as stones and woods from the mountain.”
An ecological ethos underlies all of Hermosa Cove.
The result? A culture of wellbeing.
