Happy Monday! Did you See ‘Best Restaurant in Ja’ in Suga’s Sunday Dinner Special?

Diane and Brandt Williams with Randy and Gabby Burgess dining on the Beach at the Award-Winning Delmare Restaurant at Half Moon Resort, Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Yes you read right. In the beginning of January, I Restaurant hopped from from what I thought was the best, Sugar Mill, to its neighbour, the Award-winning Delmare Seafood Restaurant with Italian influences at Half Moon, Montego Bay overlooking the white sand beach. However, as you can see, you can dine on the Beach too.

A relatively New and Modern Menu influenced by what came in with the tides and what was freshly cut from a farm nearby.

Jamaican Luxury Hotel Dining seen to perfection with knowlegeable staff that had genuine charm and hospitality.

To start, I could not get the Signature Elderflower Spritz, but the Da Luca Prosecco sufficed. They had quite the variety for Wines.

The Polipo (Grilled Octopus Dish) is definitely up there with other fine dishes of Octopus I have enjoyed.

The Gentlemen left nothing untouched with their Mixed Grill of the Chef’s Daily selection of Seafood, the Local Snapper was cooked to perfection complimented by a sauce that was just divine.

I had half a serving of the Squid Ink Spaghetti, White Wine, Clams, Mussels, Shrimp, Snapper and fresh Tomatoes. I almost regretted opting for the Half serving, but that thought never lingered once my Tiramisu hit the table and I had enough space to finish it all. Every spoonful was Classic and Authentic. Just Wow.

Other delightful Desserts enjoyed were a complimentary platter with Macarons, Dark Chocolate, Biscotti & more, a Curated no sugar, no Dairy Dessert, Gelato & Sorbet and a delish, flavourful serving of Moncello & White Chocolate Cheesecake. #SugaSnaps

Did You See the Full Video of Suga’s Sunday Dinner Special from Alexander’s?!

by Chefs, Bakers and CaterersCulinary ExperiencesFoodpornRestaurant Reviews & RatingsTHE BESTWhat's Hot

Here you Go!

Check out Suga’s Sunday Dinner Special from Alexander’s here!

https://youtu.be/v6SxcN8GwiQ

Alexander’s at The Courtleigh Hotel (Ig: @courtleighhotel) is one of The Best spots to dine at for 2023 in Jamaica!

Last December I had the pleasure of being invited to a New Dining Experience at Alexander’s.

It was certainly an unforgettable Experience with fine company.

Executive Chef Fredrick Gayle became a part of the Courtleigh Hotel family just before covid arrived and has been patiently waiting to offer his New Menu to us.

We were introduced to 8 Courses + Dessert and more! These courses were of 1st world calibre, showcasing how we can not only take Jamaican Cuisine to the world, but think outside the box and put our own twist on International cusine paired with Wines from Wine Lady Debra (Ig: @wineladydebra). What a treat! Christmas came early!

Highlights for Suga were the spicy Oxtail Napolean, tender Duck Bruschetta enhanced by tasty tomato-tamarind chutney, the artistic presentation of Organic Salad Greens, a mouthwatering Seafood Lasagne and a vegetarian dish must-try, Baked Vegetable Cannoli!

#SugaSnaps to the fantastic Wine Lady Debra, Nicola Madden Greig for her hospitality, Exec. Chef Fredrick Gayle (Ig: @fredrickgayle) and his team, whom behind stood a lot of women!

Of course, I celebrated that spectacular menu with them again at Alexander’s last Friday night for GNO and I appreciated that the quality was just as high for the standard of service we received and all the courses we enjoyed. Watch out for that Oxtail Napolean though! Chef, a bird requested you put the pepper sauce on the side and not on top.

We also had the Seafood Lasagne, Grilled Chicken Supreme and the healthy Steamed Pak Choy Wrapped Snapper was for meee. The night was young, so we hopped right on over to the Courtleigh Hotel’s Mingles Bar & Lounge that has reopened with great service and comfortable, relaxed Vibes.

Did You See the New Review?! Visit Kingston’s Own Negril on the Hill!

by Brand JamaicaCulinary ExperiencesRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga Tasters
Gabby Burgess a.k.a Suga of Suga Lifestyle with Suga Taster, Tennyson Arnold and Kamila’s Kitchen, Kamila McDonald on October 13, 2022 at Kamila’s Kitchen by Skyline Levels, Jack’s Hill.

Skyline Levels, Jacks Hill is now the home of Kamila’s Kitchen (Ig: @kamilaskitchen_ja)!

Check out highlights from Suga’s ‘Visit Kingston’s own Negril on the Hill! Thank Jah It’s Friday!’ Visit and Promo here:

https://youtube.com/watch?v=FwkIiybzyAc&feature=share

Kamila’s Kitchen has been in the works for some time now, but officially opened in April of this year, with Kamila McDonald picking up where her parents left off, taking full advantage of the fact that Vegetarian and Vegan Food is now trending.

There IS a McDonald Farm, but not an old one. 🙂 It’s growing with the Kitchen and meals are Farm to Fork.

This was great news for me because whenever I wanted to detox, no meat & no sweet for a week, but also avoid tasteless Vegetarian, I could order meals from Kamila’s Kitchen to be delivered to my doorstep. Delicious, flavourful, V-Ital, filling food. My fave? The Trinity Glow bowl with Sesame-Cauliflower, BBQ Veggie Bounce, Roasted chickpeas on a bed of mixed greens with Quinoa. Yum!

Kamila’s fave is the new loaded Nachos. Eye-catching and spicy! Jalapeños with Walnut Meat and more?! I can’t believe it’s not Beef!

Loaded Nachos

The crowd faves? Everything, but the Black and Boasie Burger with airfried breadfruit chips is always a hit, the Jerkshroom Wrap and of course the new loaded Nachos.

Jerkshroom Wrap

A bit over a month ago, Suga Taster, Tennyson and I headed up to Skyline Levels and had a full, conscience free spread including Skyline Sushi (I can’t believe it’s not Eel!) topped off with ‘Cheesecake’. They make their own cheese too. #SugaSnaps

Skyline Sushi

Have Kamila’s Kitchen excite you with food, flavours, textures and sauces that are homemade, farm to fork and in line with what your body needs!

Water is life, but Natural juices are also available and our good ol’ Jamaican Beers.

Kamila’s Kitchen is sure to be on the map soon for every backpacker and our own locals to escape to a different side of the Hills, greeted with tables adorned with fabrics from Tanzania. Chase the sunset and embrace captivating views.

Check out Thank Jah It’s Friday from 4PM – 10:30PM for a cool, chilly night under the stars and live Music on some of their Saturday nights.

V-Ital Food, Good Music and Good Vibes. Jamaica is not a real place. It’s an Experience. Head to Kamila’s Kitchen at Skyline Levels where you can eat healthy and guilt free, living a rough life easy. Balance and Levels! Kamila’s Kitchen is #SugaEndorsed.
