TGIF! Lose Touch of Reality and See Where the Food Needed No Filter

In case you didn’t know, one of our favourite Restaurant and Bar spots in Kingston 8 is back! The New Cellar 8 Wine. Bar.Bistro (Ig: @cellar8kgn) in Upper Manor Park Plaza has reopened for a bit over a month now. Happy to revisit one of my old faves last Sunday, not much has changed and that’s a good thing. Though we will share a love letter re the table setting, the Décor was spruced up a bit, still modern with a balance of black and white and pops of colour. I always loved the flooring and there’s still a touch of wooden furnishing to give an ounce of Vintage Cellar.

Yashema was our courteous server. She took care of us well and was excited to share that our Dessert’s cream wasn’t as calorific because, fun fact: It was Yam Cream! Who would have thought?!

As I sipped my Manhattan, we enjoyed,

– Jerk Beef Kofta – Well seasoned, Flavourful
– Caesar Caprese – Delish! Especially for a Salad
– Petite Fillet (Temp – MR) – Perfection
– Pan Seared Lamb Farci (Temp-MR)- Perfection
– Bread Pudding with Yellow Yam Cream!
I still love my Bread Pudding fluffier with a crumble on top, but this was uniquely tasteful

Would love to people-watch more Diners though, so head to The New Cellar 8 and check it out! Their Menu is online. Looking forward to returning and having the Sweet Potato Crusted Salmon and I would love them to consider putting their NYE Special of Ribeye Steak on the menu for the Steak Lovers.

Have a Great Weekend!

TGIF! New Restaurant for Dining & Special Occasions at Tava Indian!

Tava Indian (Ig: @tavaindianja) has opened in Progressive Plaza, Liguanea with authentic, delish Indian cuisine, eye-catching décor, great service and comfortable dining.

Mr. Suga was treated for his Birthday on December 3 and we did well. A menu with a wide variety of options, but our Waitress was a great guide. The Indian spices shone throughout the Chicken and Mutton dishes as they should and the Fried rice and Naan did their duty to provide the perfect balance. Then of course a unique, authentic Indian Dessert to top it all off for Birthdays! Go and then you’ll know 😉

It was just the two of us, but the recommended Tava Veg Combo Platter was a winner. It had Veg Spring rolls, Onion Bhaji, Cheese chutney bombs and tandoori stuffed mushrooms.

Check out the highlights here!

Looking to close out 2024 in fine dining style or looking forward to a new spot in the New Year? Check out Tava Indian. #SugaEndorsed

Cheers to Friday from Hotel 39 in Montego Bay!

The Building we knew as The Wexford Hotel on Gloucester Avenue in Montego Bay, has been fully refurbished and rebranded to Hotel 39!

The boutique Hotel 39 (Ig: @hotel39jamaica) has adequate parking, 82 rooms with its rooftop pool and nearby access to the beach, being located on Montego Bay’s famous Hip Strip.

Their Restaurant is already #SugaEndorsed after our visit two weeks ago, well taken care of by our Waitress, Caleisha. Seeing a professional, young lady so polite, attentive and genuinely happy doing her job in the hospitality and service industry was absolutely refreshing. After a long day, we truly appreciated her stellar service and kudos to the Chef for making my Pasta healthy, yet delicious, tossed in a light sauce just the way I like it.

Cocktail options seemed limited at the Bar, but the Bartender did no wrong with my Whiskey Sour.

We’re happy to have Hotel 39 back and we look forward to revisiting soon!

XoXo, Suga
[Date of Visit: Saturday, October 26, 2024]

TGIF! Head up to EITS Cafe, 17 Mile Post on Saturdays & Sundays!

Gabby Burgess of Suga Lifestyle with her AnnieB at EITS Cafe in Irish Town, Kingston, Jamaica [Date of Visit: Saturday, September 7, 2024]

It’s always great breathing in the fresh air in the Blue. Adding farm to table, freshly made food is Brawta!

Watch Highlights from Suga and AnnieB’s visit here:

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAJCSLauLhS/?igsh=MXZjeHBjbTkzNGxqNw==

Known for their Barrel Roasted Chicken, I switched things up, starting with their tasty Tomato Bruschetta (on bammy!) and tried the new lightly Curried pineapple Chicken which was seasoned so well…a fantastic balance, as it wasn’t too spicy. The sweet potato croquettes that accompanied it, were perfection. Loved it! Awesome dish.

Their Saltfish Fritters and Shrimp Pasta with herb Pesto are usually hits too.

***N.B. Not always Paw-friendly… Check in with the Owner first, to make sure the big ones aren’t there 🙂 Reservations recommended; Call +1 (876) 367-8191***

Remember, Balance is Key… Enjoy Jamaica!

Have a Great Weekend!
