Pimento Jamaican Kitchen brings the vibrant flavors and “no worries” spirit of the Caribbean to the shores of Bde Maka Ska with its seasonal “Pimento On The Lake” location. Specializing in authentic jerk chicken and slow-cooked pork, this eatery offers a taste of island paradise in the heart of Minnesota. The lakeside setting enhances the dining experience, making it one of the most popular summer destinations in the Twin Cities.
The menu is built around family recipes and traditional Jamaican spices, featuring favorites like their signature jerk meats, plantains, and rice and peas. Guests can choose their heat level, ranging from mild to the fiery “Killamanjaro” sauce for those who dare. The casual, outdoor-focused service model is perfect for grabbing a flavorful meal to enjoy by the water.
Pimento is more than just a restaurant; it’s a community hub that often features live reggae music and a festive atmosphere. As a top seasonal dining spot in Minneapolis, it offers a unique culinary escape during the warmer months. For anyone looking for bold Caribbean flavors and a great view, Pimento On The Lake is an unbeatable choice.
