THE Best Restaurant in Jamaica Right Now…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.

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

Here you Go!

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

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.

Suga’s Birthday Stay at Charela Inn, Negril!

Suga Fam! You’ve been asking where I stayed for my Birthday Weekend, here you go!

Watch “Suga’s Birthday Stay at Charela Inn, Negril!” on YouTube here:

https://youtube.com/shorts/ocuHpoblKeA?feature=share

Thanks Luxury Jamaica (Ig: @luxuryja) and The Storyteller (Ig: @thestorytellerja) for an unforgettable weekend at Charela Inn (Ig: @charelainn)!

I had so many beautiful moments to put together that were captured and experienced at Charela Inn.

An aged, but well kept family-owned boutique hotel located on Negril’s famous Seven Mile Beach with airy rooms leading to beach views.

Lush, tropical gardens surround their round swimming pool and they have endless Coconut trees providing natural shade on the beach. Just beautiful.

Charela Inn has long standing, friendly staff, experienced bartenders and fresh, homemade cuisine. Vegetables, spices and meat come from their own farm!
We enjoyed our typical eggs your way Breakfast and the morning we had Jamaican Breakfast, it was quite satisfying. What a wholesome plate 😋

Their meals are a fusion of Jamaican and French cuisine, representing the owners and I must say, their French Pizza gave the Italians a run for their money. Fantastic!

We would have loved to experience more of their French cuisine at Dinner, but we explored other spots on the beach.
So next time! See you again soon Charela Inn!

For my Kingstonian fam, it’s not the journey, it’s the destination.
Suga Tip: Leave town early in the morning on the way to and from Negril and restaurant hop in Ocho Rios, Montego Bay or both!

XoXo,
Suga💖😎
