Short paragraph
Jerk Harbour is a Jamaican and Caribbean restaurant in East Legon, Accra, cooking charcoal jerk chicken, braised oxtail and curry goat over live fire. Founded by Bridgette and Michael Abtar and open since September 2025, it serves dine-in, collection and delivery guests, alongside corporate catering, private dining and its signature experiences programme.
Full background
Jerk Harbour brings Jamaican cooking to Accra as it is actually made: jerk marinated for 48 hours, then grilled over charcoal until the skin crackles and the smoke does the rest. The kitchen sits inside the Jungle Avenue Food Court at A&C Mall, East Legon, and opened in September 2025. The menu runs from the signature half jerk chicken and combination plates to slow-braised oxtail, curry goat and escovitch snapper, with rice and peas, festival, plantain and fresh island drinks alongside. Guests eat in, collect, or order for delivery across East Legon and Greater Accra. Beyond the dining room, Jerk Harbour caters corporate lunches and celebrations across Greater Accra, hosts private events and weekend brunch, and runs a signature experiences programme including the Chef's Table, the Fire & Rum Society and the Maroon Heritage Table. Its community programme, Every Meal. Every Mikkle. Every Smile., reports its work publicly. Jerk Harbour was founded by Bridgette Abtar, Chief Customer Experience & Creative Officer, and Michael Abtar, Chief Executive Chef and Managing Director. The tagline is One Love. One Bite.
