Hello Friends!
Today, let's spill the tea on my recent brunch escapade at the one and only First Bite in "Uptown" Portmore, Jamaica. So, me and my bestie decided to have a friendship date... do you do those? Let me know in the comments. We started off by hitting the gym in an attempt to grow our butts then we headed over to First Bite which is located in Sunshine Plaza to fill our guts. Did y'all peep my rhymes?
Chic Atmosphere and Insta-Worthy Decor- First things first—the vibes at First Bite are chef's kiss. The place though small is well decorated and has cute and cozy seating and even though we were close by other patrons we didn't feel "chuck up" (clustered). We were all about soaking up those tropical chic feels while catching up on the latest gossip.
Brunch Goals Menu -Now, let's talk about the menu—spoiler alert, it's a total game-changer! First Bite knows how to blend classic Jamaican flavors with brunch favorites. We're talking from ackee and saltfish omelets to steak and eggs benedict if you're feeling fancy and pancakes or waffles and a variety of many options to suit whatever palate you may have.
What we ordered Remember I said we just came from the gym, so we really were starving, and the extensiveness of the menu didn't help because everything sounded good, and it was too hard to choose. I went with the Full House Omelet which had just the right amount of everything and was so fluffy and tasty! Paired with French toast, Jesus! I was in carbs heaven! Everything was well done and paired with some OJ. Wow! My bestie had the scrambled eggs with sausage and waffles and a side of cinnamon bagels with cream cheese and she swooned over it as she too was in carbs heaven. 10/10!
Somn' Sweet what's a meal without something sweet? I had the Hot Chocolate, and she had a Frappuccino. Every sip was pure bliss!
Price Point We wouldn't be good women if we didn't forge food for our men, so we ordered to go meals for them. So, adding that to our bills I paid a little under $5000.00JMD while she spent a little over that amount. I think it's quite affordable whether you want a full breakfast to spread or quick pickings there will be something for you to not max out your credit cards.
Honorary Mention Remember I said the place was small and it was filled to capacity with people waiting outside to be seated and the service from our waiter was so good. He definitely didn't let us feel like he was stretched thin though it was obvious he was. So, an honorary mention to him and the service there!
Final Thoughts It wasn't my first time at First Bite but similar to my first experience they stole our hearts. It's truly a great breakfast or brunch spot. The food was delish, the vibe was on point, and the company was everything. Whether you're planning a girls' brunch or just need a pick-me-up, First Bite is a must-visit.
That's a wrap! Be sure to let me know if I sold a visit to you in the comments and let me know your favorite brunch spots!
