    The staff a this establishment are courteous and friendly. The food here is pleasant on both the taste buds and the eyes. The ambience is warm and inviting and the artwork makes for interesting dialogue. F & B Downtown is a pleasant surprise in the middle of Downtown Kingston. This location is great for business meetings and it also equip for same.

    Really cool vibe at F&B Downtown. They have wonderful Jazz music selections on Friday evenings where persons from all walks of life are welcome to attend. They have an extensive drink menu with tasty and affordable options and a similar food menu (I cannot comment on their food at this time as I have not personally had food from there yet). There is secured parking as the men from the community watch over the vehicles.

    Food is okay. Oxtail is always good. Salad is good. Desserts could be better. Have to wait a while to get served though.

    This is my favourite place to dine. Quiet atmosphere with beautiful artwork and the server went out of her way to make sure we were okay. Customer service is 10/10 and the food is amazing!

    Is great place sit and talk business or other interest outside business while have great food. It feel more for Adults and not very kids friendly but I feel like that is idea. I personally love the ambiance, when you step in it feel like you have travel a little back in time combine with that classy feel. It could use a little bit more on the menu though.

  • 4/5 Gabbie M. 1 year ago on Google
    I've attended a few Kingston Creative events here and I love the set up. The service I receive from F&B is always top notch.

  • 4/5 Matthew T. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is a premium here, but we have to treat ourselves to a good meal once in a while. There is one employee (Yvonne) who is always professional and courteous. I always return to have dialogue with her.

  • 4/5 Shanique G. 5 years ago on Google
    The taste of the food is consistent but at times the service is slow.

  • 5/5 Massimiliano L. 1 year ago on Google
    With no doubt, the best place for a lunch in Downtown Kingston! Elegant indoor space, also decorated with beautiful old photos of Kingston and old movie actors. The menu is not that big, but the options offered are good - my favorite is the Pesto Pasta. The owner is a very nice Swiss gentleman and you can also buy Swiss watches and jewelry before or after your meal. F&B is also part of the Kingston Creative art circuit, and it hosts some nice and free exhibits and small events.

  • 4/5 Shanice B. 1 year ago on Google
    Creative space. Doesn't feel like you are in Downtown. If you love art, this is space for you to have lunch. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with fries. Firstly, the smell of my food caught my attention. It smelt good. The fries were perfectly seasoned and the sandwich reminded me of a panini. The customer service was excellent.

  • 5/5 StacyB 1 year ago on Google
    I had a fantastic time. This art filled beauty of a restaurant is a must visit!

  • 5/5 Blossom R. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the Alfredo Pasta with Shrimp and it was mouth-watering, the atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed and the service staff was so welcoming and charming. Definitely recommending and added on my revisit list

  • 4/5 Jeremy F. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to the take-out section of the restaurant and got a very nice meal, as always. Tasty local dishes at a reasonable 'take-out' price.

  • 5/5 Tatjana K. 11 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Kreyg S. 10 months ago on Google
    F&B is a “must do” in Downtown Kingston, Jamaica Located in the heart of Old Kingston, Swiss Stores which has consistently been highly rated in it's duty free offers is now one of the areas most popular restaurants. Caricatures of local gentry decorate their historic walls while customers enjoy their creole & cajun offerings. Specialties include their famous Penne Bolognese, Chicken Alfredo Pasta, their Jerk Sausage Alfredo Pasta. Dining at F&B is a “must do” in Downtown Kingston and one which I guarantee you'll enjoy.

    There's no doubt, its a good place to having lunch. Elegant indoor space with beautiful art pictures on the walls and there's a little bar inside too with a good rum sortiment. You get local food there and they offer you many different food styles. My favourite food is "The down town special fried rice". Very delicious!😋 If you like swissness, you can also buy swiss watches and of cours the world famous swiss knife. The service is very kindful, friendly and you don't have to wait a long time for the meal. To all swiss guys out there:"If you bring them swiss chocolat, you will have a more great time as you have any way!"

    I had a wonderful time at F & B restaurant, a chic and welcoming establishment with an appealing menu. The stylish, art-filled space was brimming with ideas for all types of creativity. The service was excellent, with an attentive waitress making certain that everything was available. Overall, an excellent "out of the ordinary" experience

  • 4/5 ephzibah 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent place to have a drink or to have lunch and perhaps make a purchase of a watch or other jewellery. The customer service is excellent. The food is delicious and the pricing is reasonable considering the ambiance and location.

  • 4/5 Zeljko I. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good restaurant. Finally you can find something different, something local, but it's not jerk chicken :)

  • 4/5 Teddy B. 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant with stunning art and friendly customer service. The food is also delicious

  • 5/5 Althea H. 4 years ago on Google
    Absolutely charming and beautiful. The food was great. My teriyaki chicken salad was delicious. My friends had Oxtail and curried goat and the were saying when they return they will be back.....

  • 4/5 Andrew M. 6 years ago on Google
    This was my first visit and after the splendid service from Yvonne and the great tasting food it will definately not be my last. If ever anyone is downtown and trying to find somewhere with remarkable ambiance, attentive service and scrumptious food check out Swiss Stores/F&B Downtown.

  • 5/5 Omar A. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious Food options, great ambiance. Great customer service, surprisingly good prices for the calibre of food served. And the space makes you feel you have been transported out of downtown Kingston.

  • 4/5 Zaier L. 3 years ago on Google
    The ambience is great, can definitely be a chill spot. Nice oasis in the heart of Kingston. As with most places Downtown, parking is not the most accommodating. Worth a trip nonetheless.

  • 4/5 conrad b. 4 years ago on Google
    Good food and even better atmosphere a truly nice gem of a place in downtown, the only draw back is that it doesn't stay open for late dinning

  • 4/5 A. David M. 4 years ago on Google
    The food was good and the jazz band

  • 4/5 toinette w. 4 years ago on Google
    The serving was average size.. the menu didn't have much variety but the food was good. The ambiance was amazing!!!!! apparently every last Friday in a month they have a live band that's honestly one the best parts about dinning there.. the art in the restaurant is really breathtaking.. you can also look at the Swiss jewelry & buy a fee if you choose 🤷🏾‍♀️. I wish they had a bit more lighting and parking outside because it's more convenient and safe parking close to the restaurant.. all in all I would definitely recommend.

  • 5/5 Arlene H. 4 years ago on Google
    The curried mutton was fabulous, tender and flavourful. The small jazz band provided authentic, soulful music. The band received requests and delivered on each one. Summertime was my request. It was done superbly. Overall a worthy venture. The art work always of interest.
