Cellar 8 is a wine aficionado's dream, boasting over 300 wines from which to choose; some of which are unique to Cellar 8 KGN like the Chakana wines.

Their menu offerings are wide, varied & scream attention to detail - flavour combinations are off the chain!. Hats off to Executive Chef Ramesh Maragh & his culinary team on this! Not very knowlegeable about wine? No problem! Gillian, their in-house wine guru is usually on hand to guide and educate! Some of what we sampled - all of which had our taste buds doing the happy dance!
A truly great place to enjoy life one sip at a time and gastronomic delights! Thanks to Cellar 8 KGN for accommodating us! We'll be back sooner than you think! Team Pop Up Gourmet Jamaica Restaurant Week 2016 Jamaica got off to a robust start with many rushing to make reservations at their favourite dining haunts. This year's event dubbed Eat In Dine Out offered persons not into the hustle and bustle the option of ordering in.
Our team opted to dine at Nirvana, the newest Indian restaurant in Kingston and we were not disappointed! For starters we had the tandoor grilled fish tikka marinated with yogurt and indian spice. This was followed by the Butter Chicken (tandoori chicken pieces tossed in a rich aromatic tomato and cream gravy) & the Thai Coconut Infused Green Curry Shrimp served with Garlic Naan & Basmati Rice - Deelish! For dessert we had Cheesecake flavor Kulfi (home-made indian ice-cream) Twas a great dining experience- great service, great food. Money well spent! No hitches here!
Tea Tree Crêperie |
 | What do you have when you combine a party promoter/marketer/website designer genius, a former diplomat and European based cuisine? Why none other than Jamaica’s first crêperie which has already become famous for their crepes and other delectables. Previously housed at the enclave called 8 Hillcrest, it now has a larger and more airy new location at 80 LMR on Lady Musgrave Road. |
Accompanied by son and business partner Jason (dragged kicking & screaming),it was off to Stush In The Bush which I had wanted to visit since hearing about it from a friend months ago.
We had to park off the roadside and go down the lane by foot, as the fact that it had rained earlier and we drove a Honda motor car (no fourwheel drive) were not conducive to negotiating the road. Along the way we passed met a cow who we dubbed Annabelle, happily grazing on copious amounts of grass and exchanged greetings with a couple of area farmers tending their fields.

The panoramic view of the landscape….breathtaking. We were greeted by the amiable and easy going Christopher Binns who welcomed us a taste of an organic strawberry and well fell into a short conversation. It was not long before Lisa stuck her head out inviting us on up the house which is built atop a 33,000 gallon water tank, the interior of which is painted light blue to discourage the growth of algae.
We had caught them in the midst of preparations for an incoming group and just fell in with me - sampling, observing & chit chatting with Lisa as she prepped her delicious fare & Jason accompanying Chris on his harvesting jaunts to reap Lisa ‘shopping list’.

Some of the delicious treats that Lisa prepared
 Cous Cous with Summer Squash, Red Pepper, Haricot Verts (french filet beans), scallion and walnuts |  Roasted potatoes, cauliflower, and watermelon radish in Vegan Basil Pesto |  Arugula Salad with Jackfruit, Red Onions & roasted Garlic served with a Passion Fruit Viniagrette |
Needless to say, at the end of it all I had to drag Jason kicking & screaming away! :)
Thanks for a great day guys!
