Where are you dining this weekend? It’s our first Post Covid Christmas and everyone is busy, out and about!

My Christmas dining experience was made when one of our Faves, Summerhouse located in Harmony Hall, Ocho Rios came to Kingston last weekend with a Yuletide Grill Prix Fixe Menu at 10 West Kings House Road.

With visiting Chef Bill Clark (Ig: @frombilClark) joining them in the kitchen, Appetizers and mains rolled out in a timely manner and service was excellent, as Beverages flowed as well.

Ordering their Saltfish Fritters was a must! They are like dumplings! Their Smoked Marlin Dip with homemade chips, a treat as well.

Their Charred Drunken Beef was perfection and indeed left me with a drunken feeling of satisfaction all evening.

Hubby, Randy enjoyed the Grilled Lobster with scotch bonnet sambal, coconut, saffron and turmeric. I meaaan, when he hardly wants to give me a 2nd bite, you know it’s fantastic.

The sides of Kale and Roast Pumpkin salads were absolutely delightful. Not sure how the misfit of Fries emerged, but looks like we missed out on the Holiday Fattoush Crispy Bread. We had no space for it anyhow.

A mouthwatering Brownie with a taste of Coffee Ice cream was the Finale to our feast and a fabulous Sunday leading up to Christmas.

TGIF! Where are you Brunching this Weekend? Sending Love from PRESS Red Hills!

by FoodpornRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot
Randy and Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle at PRESS Cafe, RHR Business Centre on Sunday, September 3, 2023.

If you don’t know by now, PRESS Cafe (Ig: @pressshopco) is one of Suga’s favourite spots.

Great service and consistency with good food quality and I love a place that’s always CLEAN.

They cater to Vegans and if you haven’t tried Brunch yet at their 76 RHR Business Centre location by Red Hills Road, give it a go!

I suggest calling ahead. The food is prepared fresh, so done to order and you can dine in a comfy environment.

Lots of parking available too.

Looking forward to the new Cocktail menu though, because Suga Loves her Cocktails.

Have a Great Weekend!

TGIF to this Wagyu Steak from Steak House on the Verandah!

by FoodpornRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

It was amazing! Dream about it until after the Devon House construction finishes though. Sorrrry, they are temporarily closed, renovating the dining and bar areas in the mean time. So until then!

Enjoy the weekend!

Foodies! Do You Know this Seaside Gem in St. Ann’s Bay?

by Brand JamaicaRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

Good Morning Suga Fam! I’m awake! The Coffee has opened my eyes😀

Making your way off or towards the AGR Byfield Highway and need to make a stop for some good ol’ Jamaican cuisine?

Stop by the The Roxborough Bar and Grill (Ig: @_theroxborough)! They are open EVERYDAY for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. Parking is adequate and the staff are quite hospitable.

Di Ackee did sweet mi and di family did love di Run Down. Breakfast came out quickly too.

I hope it’s the same for Lunch and Dinner, especially if you get Seafood.
If you feel stranded and hungry, I got you.

XoXo, 💖Suga

TGIF to a Rooftop Lunch by the Waterfront with the Ladies!

by Brand JamaicaRestaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot
Gabrielle Burgess of Suga Lifestyle with friends Kesha Gabbidon, Tiffany Simmonds and Gillian Jackson.

Last Sunday, us Ladies swapped Kitchen Aprons for chic tops & Sunday dresses to head to a late lunch at the new ROK Hotel Kingston (Ig: @rokhotelkingston) in downtown Kingston.

Very much like downtown Miami, it’s paid Parking.

Tasteful, modern decor with furniture and art from local artists adorned their lobby and walls as we headed up to the Rokstone Grill.

The breezy seating area with a spectacular view of the waterfront was spacious with comfortable options and we were greeted pleasantly and seated immediately.

Be conscious of dress/skirt as well as hairstyle choices ladies.

Our waitress was none other than the bright and charismatic, Sasheni! You better ask for her!

She took us through that menu like the grill had been opened for a decade. Her suggestions were on point too (Hint Hint).
Suga has received quite a bit of feedback before deciding to visit. The fine dining restaurant would not be open until 6pm, but would I put on my Sunday dress, let down my hair and head to this new rooftop grill with jazzy music and order a Burger? Let’s be a bit more adventurous when we go out and try new places Suga fam.

We kicked things off with Passion Coconut Seafood Ceviche, Crispy Calamari and Baby Greens with Granny Smith Apples.

Coconut Seafood Ceviche

The Ceviche needed to be complemented with something like a Pico de Gallo for added flavour and colour on the dish.

Crispy Calamari

The Calamari was a bit on the salty side and we had to ask for the passion fruit-thyme vinaigrette, which was supposed to be drizzled over the Baby Green salad. Then it was good to go. Quite a large serving too.

Baby Greens with Granny Smith Apples

Cocktails arrived and they were fantastic. Especially the ‘Rebirth of Kingston’, similar to a sangria, but with rum.

‘Rebirth of Kingston’ Cocktail

Our mains arrived in covered bowls to withstand the breezy elements of the rooftop. We enjoyed the Pimento Grilled Chicken and Guava BBQ Rum Ribs accompanied by provided Walkerswood pepper sauces. The Ribs didn’t slide off the bone, but they were still tender and juicy.

Guava BBQ Rum Ribs

We were very tempted to have the Dragon Stout Brownie as the finale, but Sash sold us on the Mango Cheesecake that was not presented as your typical Cheesecake slice. Kudos to her, it was fantastic! I’m still going back for that Brownie though.

Mango Cheesecake

Lovely day out Suga Fam. I advise you to participate in the rebuild of downtown Kingston. But of course, you need to carry a little extra dues. Enjoy the weekend!

XoXo,
💖Suga

#tbt to Skipping Breakfast & Having Brunch Danya’s Coffee Barrel!

by Restaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot

Just too much niceness on Danya’s Coffee Barrel’s (Ig: @danyascoffeebarrel) menu though! It was hard to choose. So I skipped breakfast and made room for brunch 3 Saturdays ago.

Saturday?! Yes. If you don’t work or go downtown during the week, Danya’s is usually open on the last Saturday of every month.

They are located across from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade by the Grace Kennedy building and you can use their parking.

I had the Smoked Marlin Bagel and Ackee Sandwich that had Plantain! Absolutely delicious + great Coffee. Yes, I love Cafes.
Maybe I will feature more this week, but in the mean time, check out Danya’s Coffee Barrel! You can dine, pick up or get it delivered. Danya’s continues to be #SugaEndorsed.

#fbf to Brunching at Bellefield Great House! A Hidden Gem.

by Restaurant Reviews & RatingsSuga TastersWhat's Hot
Gabrielle and Randolph Burgess, Owners and Suga Tasters for Suga Lifestyle


A hidden gem for Kingstonians that is!
To Montegonians and as stated by Bellefield, it’s the place where Award winning Chef Robbie Joseph has created an exquisite menu featuring classic international dishes alongside traditional Jamaican cuisine to satisfy every palette.

Bellefield Great House and Gardens, Fairfield Road, Montego Bay

Hubby and I brunched at Bellefield Great House and Gardens on Fairfield Road, Montego Bay a bit over a month ago in June, to close out my Birthday weekend.

Bellefield’s (Ig: @bellefield876) All You Can Eat Brunch Buffet is from 11am to 3pm. We arrived closer to 3pm, thinking we would get the ‘what lef’ or perhaps get the choice to order from the regular menu.
That wasn’t the case at all. We were greeted and invited to Brunch, as you could only order from the regular menu from 4pm onwards.

The place was buzzing with activity with families and friends celebrating birthdays amongst one another. The live cooking Pasta and Pancake stations were still in action. Fresh food was still being brought out to  replenish any empty chafers and freshly made beverages were available from a few dispensers.

You could pick, choose and refuse from what was on offer. The typical Jamaican or American breakfast, in addition to the lunch options we all love. Curry Goat, Potato Salad, Escovitch Fish, Roast Beef and more!

The food was on point! Absolutely flavourful and delicious. Succulent cuts of Beef, soft Plantain mmm! We were impressed.

If you love sweet, Dessert options were endless as well. Quite a variety of basic desserts, nothing gourmet, but well presented and they would definitely hit your sweet spot.


The Bar was downstairs if you wished to order any drinks that weren’t readily available with the Brunch offerings.

All You Can Eat surrounded by a picturesque historic Great House and lush Gardens J$3750 (incl. Tx) each ?! Amazing and #SugaEndorsed.

Brunch is this and every Sunday at Bellefield Great House from 11am – 3pm and you can make reservations. Go check it out!
