Un platillo de origen asiático muy típico es el “Pilau”, “Pilaf” o “Plov”, que consiste en una combinación de arroz, tocino y vegetales. Si eres amante del atún, Jamestown es el sitio ideal para tí ya que es el pescado más consumido en la isla.
En Jamestown existen una gran variedad de restaurantes de especialidades como Orange Tree Oriental Restaurant, que ofrece una extensa selección de platillos chinos, japoneses y tailandeses. En algunos hoteles, como el Consulate Hotel y Donny’s Place, hay bares al aire libre donde puedes disfrutar una bebida local conocida como “Tungi” que se prepara con el fruto de un cactus de la región.
