Couples Sans Souci has earned high marks for its magnificent cuisine, prepared by award-winning chefs and served with gracious hospitality and an ever-present smile. Dining is indeed a special treat at Couples Sans Souci, from gourmet dishes in the white-glove Ristorante Casanova to delicious fresh-made bistro dishes at Palazzina Restaurant to jerk chicken and spicy Jamaican specialties at our beachside Bella Vista. Choose from a wide selection in a buffet style setting for breakfast and lunch; and for dinner enjoy a delicious a la carte menu.
The only thing that will never vary at our restaurants is the quality. It is always excellent. Always the best. The weekly Jamaican Beach Party is a cultural medley of colors, music and traditional delicacies, while the Friday Night Starlight Gala is a spectacular culinary showcase.
Couples Sans Souci chefs have won more culinary awards than their contemporaries at any other resort in the Caribbean. Our chefs are trained in European, French, Italian, Caribbean and Continental Cuisine. The 2005 Condé Nast Gold List ratings ranked our dining experience as the best of any resort not only in Ocho Rios, but in all of Jamaica.
Ristorante Casanova
Keeping in line with the history and reputation as one of the most glamorous restaurants in Jamaica, the cuisine at ‘Casanova’ features an eclectic mix of different traditional food styles fused with tropical Jamaican and Caribbean ingredients. We keep a keen eye on freshness and ‘organic’ and we work closely with selected farmers on the island. As such we are able to feature exotic items such as Ackee, Ortanique, Chocho or the famous Smoked Marlin. We would like to tempt you with dishes such as “Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Pickled Pumpkin and Smashed Green Bananas” or “Spicy Crab Cakes with Pineapple and Palm Heart Salsa”. Nightly changing Chef’s specials are also available.

Hearty bistro fare from around the world is featured here in a festive sea breeze setting.

Always served by a warm and smiling staff, you will certainly enjoy your time spent at Palazzina either inside or on our wonderful terrace.
