Sugar Mill 

This award-winning fine dining restaurant is known for its unique twist on Jamaican cuisine, and its historical location – the former Running Gut Estate on the Rose Hall Sugar Plantation. The Sugar Mill menu tells a story about food in Jamaica, from the countryside to the seaside. It features dishes such as Crayfish Bisque, Brandade with Ackee Flan, and a meat and seafood brochette flamed with aged rum. Chef de Cuisine Christopher Golding and his team arouse the taste buds by marrying flavors (such as the acidity of pickled beets with the richness of seafood to make a delectable smoked marlin appetizer) and putting a modern spin on traditional Jamaican favorites (such as jerk) to create an exciting journey for foodies. A favorite among locals and guests, the Sugar Mill not only provides a unique dinner experience, but offers a widely curated selection of rums, including the oldest rum available for sale – the 50-year-old Appleton Estate rum.
