Restaurant
At the heart of Pete's Restaurant & Bakery is our restaurant, a lively midday haven where guests can enjoy classic Jamaican favorites prepared just like mom used to make. Our menu is rich and soulful, featuring time-honored staples such as Curried Goat, simmered slowly in fragrant spices until tender and full of depth. Alongside this signature dish, we offer a rotating selection of home-cooked lunches, each made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and rooted in Jamaica’s diverse and vibrant culinary traditions.
Bakery
Complementing our savory offerings, Pete's is a local treasure.
