I was going to the next best thing to legendary Bob Marley's home-converted-museum on 56 Hope Road in Jamaica- a replica of his home as a Caribbean-style restaurant just outside Orlando's Universal Studios park in Universal CityWalk: Bob Marley-- A Tribute To Freedom. The establishment worked closely with Bob's wife Rita to create a wonderful dining experience with island favourite eats and drinks in an open-air veranda and courtyard with the restaurant filled with photos, video clips and artefacts from Marley's storied career. On most nights, there is a lively band performing reggae music on the courtyard stage. Just this May, I shared canvas art of Bob painted by my friend
Sharing with you a gallery of his photos and art throughout the restaurant and my favourites of his famous quotes of wisdom to live by. Yes, there's dibs on the food, but of course :D...

Let righteousness cover the earth like the water cover the sea."- Bob Marley

CHEERS!
Enjoying some cool island refreshers! |
Wings, crispy and spiced just right! Love the big yucca/cassava fries (hidden behind the celery)!
A tour of island flavours featuring veggie & beef patties, jerk wings and yucca fries. |
Deliciously char-grilled meats but our fave hands-down were the simply glazed sweet plantains.
Extra side of sweet plantains and a beef patty served with tasty sauces. Homemade beef patties are not that hard to do, try my recipe. |
