Mrs Myers’ warmth could only be paralleled by the breathtaking ambience of the restaurant itself, boasting a delectable offering of fine Italian and fusion cuisine in an authentic Jamaican setting overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The vintage buggy, the monstrous koi, oversized flower pots, rustic setting and blooming orchids set the charming tone for fine dining. The RestauranTour gang was treated to a sumptuous threecourse meal, which all RW participants will get at a discounted rate – from appetisers like Jamaica’s Viagra conch fritters and smoked marlin bruschetta, to entrees like Contessa – pasta with shrimp, lobster meat and lobster in tail, Pork Chop Tropicale – smoked pork chop topped with a pineapple, onions and honey spicy salsa and Jamaica Curry Supreme shrimp, chicken breast in curry mango-chutney in white wine sauce.
The RestauranTour team definitely gives Evita’s a thumbs up for excellent service and a wonderful array of scrumptious food! Where will they visit next? That’s up to you ... your vote counts. Remember to cast your vote at
