Munch on their famous jerk chicken, mouthwatering ribs, or crispy salt fish fritters while immersing yourself in the tropical atmosphere.

UNDR

Situated in Notting Hill, UNDR is a stylish Caribbean restaurant and cocktail bar that's always got something fun going on. They're all about culture, community and great food, with a menu that spans from oxtail with butter beans to slow-roasted pork belly and jerk cauliflower wings.

The cool space is filled with dark decor, comfy leather seating and low lighting, creating a sultry, late-night vibe. There are also plenty of events to check out, from stand-up comedy and open mic evenings to DJ sets and live music performances.

Cocos Dining Experiences

Cocos Dining Experiences blends the vibrant flavours of Caribbean cuisine with modern European influences, located right on the bustling Crystal Palace 'triangle'. Step into a rainforest-inspired space, where the decor perfectly complements an exceptional selection of cocktails, fine wines, and mouth-watering dishes.

From brunch favourites like Scotch Bonnet lobster-stuffed brioche and signature barbecue jerk chicken Belgian waffles, to hearty dinners such as slow-cooked oxtail in rich Caribbean spices, Cocos offers a delightful culinary journey. Don't miss their bottomless brunch every other Saturday, featuring unlimited sides, free-flowing cocktails, and live DJs.

The Good Front Room

The Good Front Room brings delicious Caribbean dishes to the heart of Dalston. Having learned to cook traditional staples from a young age, head chef and owner Dom went on to work at prestigious kitchens like Belgraves Hotel and The Courthouse Hotel before being crowned the winner of Five Star Kitchen: Britain's Next Great Chef.

Today, he serves up jam-packed plates of rum and raisin glazed pork belly, short rib brown stew, curry goat and jerk chicken to London's adoring foodies. Sunday's brunch menu is also a thing of wonder, packing in plantain and fruit starters, plus plates of perfectly roasted meat.

2210 By NattyCanCook

Tucked beside Brockwell Park on Norwood Road, 2210 by NattyCanCook brings the bold flavours, laidback vibes and creativity of Caribbean cooking to Herne Hill. The debut venture from chef‑owner Nathaniel Mortley (he's the Natty who Can Cook), it's already been called out by Condé Nast Traveller as One to Watch at the 2025 Top New Restaurant Awards.

Dishes pack in flavours from across the islands - think Bajan, Jamaican and Guyanese - with classical French technique. The result is standout signatures like ackee and saltfish spring rolls, deep‑fried apple crumble, wiri wiri lamb rump and textbook‑perfect jerk chicken.
