FDR serves up healthy, tasty cuisine
HEALTHY EATING on vacation is easy at FDR! Located in Runaway Bay, St Ann, FDR has recently improved its menu options to enhance the dining experience by providing authentic Jamaican Cuisine. The menu at their Signature Jamaican Restaurant, Overproof, has been improved, enhanced and made healthier.
“We now serve two meals per day, lunch and dinner, as the demand has been so good. We intend to also include Jamaican breakfast,” explains sales manager Trishawana Davidson.
She says FDR has been successfully catering to families with special dietary needs including vegans, gluten-free diets and food allergies.
The chefs at FDR personally meet with guests who have special dietary needs and organise a menu plan for the duration of their stay. And even without special dietary needs, there are guests who are looking for ways to maintain a healthy lifestyle while travelling. Simple adjustments, from freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast to fresh fruit smoothies, green juices using kale, cucumber and ginger and even the island’s signature coconut water, help them stay on track.
To maintain optimum standards, the hotel’s chefs use fresh, seasonal ingredients such as turmeric, quinoa, dark greens, a variety of seeds (cumin, coriander and fennel) and naturally gluten free food items such as avocado, yam, breadfruit and pumpkin to create flavourful, healthy dishes.
The hotel’s gardens, maintained by staff, provides garden peppers. In addition, the property purchases kale, sweet potato and mangoes, organically grown by staff members.
