Eat Well, Drink Well at DLE Cafe in Fairview Town Centre, Montego Bay!

Had a quick pass through Montego Bay last Wednesday and I kept it healthy, finally getting to stop by DLE Cafe (Ig: @dlecafe)!

Check out a clip from my visit here:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C34-BseuSt1/?igsh=YnNhN2ljc3B4cmU0

As you enter, you will see a sign showing that basically Good Food takes Time. Definitely freshly made, cooked to order. So if hungry, call ahead. They have THE widest range of healthy options.

Quite a clean, cosy atmosphere with a handful of in and out diners. I observed that most persons picked up their orders and the staff were polite and professional.

I had the Bad Ass Black Bean Burger with their own signature dressing in a Sprouted Spelt Burger Bun (J$2000);
Baked Sweet Potato Fries that were air-fried and tossed in Cinnamon and Paprika (J$700);
Immune Booster Smoothie with Spinach, Kale, Celery, Lime/Lemon Juice, Ginger and Ginger (J$950)

Hubby had the Chicken Fettuccine (whole wheat) in Pesto Scotchy White Wine topped off with parmesan cheese (J$2800).

Great flavours with a touch of spicy and we left feeling full and satisfied.

Invest in your well being. If in Montego Bay, Eat Well and Drink Well at DLE Cafe.

Location: Shop #4, Unit 11. Fairview Town Centre, Montego Bay

We Got Early Dibs at Chive Restaurant for V-Day! Where Did You Go?

I Ain’t gonna lie, we werecomatosed from Chive Restaurant (Ig: @chivejamaica) yesterday.

Check out the highlights here!

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3WAw0COEUp/?igsh=cTg3MTA1MTk0ZHps

We went for a late brunch close to 1pm, but ended up ordering from their V-Day Menu.
We had our usual Appetizer Faves, Chive style Mussels and Marlin Canapes, followed by a Savoury Seafood Risotto and Whole Lobster Themidor. Chive dishes thrive with Herbs and the right amount of Spice. We thoroughly enjoyed it all and since we sighted the freshly made Desserts from we walked in, we saved space.

Tiramisu for me, where ladyfingers that were not spared and a decadent, Rich Chocolate Cake for Mr. Suga.

Then homeward bound to our Pawlentine, AnnieB

Hope you had a good one, but remember to Love Everyday, starting with Yourself first.

XoXo,
Suga

Great way to start the New Year with Breakfast at Middleton Cafe!

Cool, fresh Blue Mountain air, warm hospitality and freshly made, tasty breakfast with rich, Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

Persons seem to be slowly getting back into their routines for the New Year, so this may be the last weekend for a bit of R and R before the real hustle and bustle plus back to school begins.

Head on up to Middleton Cafe (Ig: @middleton_cafe_bar) about 45 minutes from Papine.

Go early to catch the Jamaican Breakfast, but we got there a bit after 10:30am and our Omelettes were awesome. Loved that I could customize and substitute the Cheddar Cheese with Mozzarella.

Princess AnnieB was on her best behaviour and there were diners, but it was not crowded. They have a simple, very affordable menu and we were so comfortable. Looking forward to stopping by again soon.
