Mango Glazed Salmon
Centre-cut salmon loin, pan-seared and glazed with a Caribbean reduction of fresh mangoes, ginger, garlic, herbs and a hint of fruity scotch bonnet heat.

Patatas Bravas Brawta
A classic Spanish tapa of fried potatoes garnished with tomato sauce, here given a contemporary Caribbean twist with coconut creme fraiche and fresh herbs

Blue Mountain Chocolate Tart
A rich ganache combining two of Jamaica’s best known exports, coffee and chocolate, with a bit of tropical heat, in a buttery shortcrust and garnished with fresh berries.
