South Avenue Grill
Kingston steakhouse inspired by South American grilling, Jamaican staples, and fresh local produce.
South Avenue Grill centers its menu around prime cuts, daily market produce, and a “Buy Jamaican, It Helps Jamaica” ethos. From Thai coconut curry snapper to scotch bonnet salmon, the kitchen blends international flair with island heat—supported by a service team known for fuss-free hospitality.
South Avenue Grill began with a mission to serve the best grilled foods at fair prices, using the freshest ingredients from local growers.
The kitchen still embraces South American grilling tradition while infusing Jamaican spices, creating a menu where ribs meet jerk, and salmon meets garlic scotch bonnet.
With string lights, outdoor seating, and a lively bar, the restaurant remains a Kingston staple for all kinds of gatherings.
