Nestled on the oceanfront, the Irish-inspired restaurant and pub Twisted Kilt in Montego Bay offers an interesting twist in dining with their unique ambience and concept.

The Gleaner-sponsored Restaurant Week at Twisted Kilt promises to offer a thrilling dining experience, according to the chief executive Officer, Andre Dixon. He confirmed that Twisted Kilt is the place to be as something different is always being offered.

He notes that the Irish pub concept evolved from the fact that Irish pubs around the world are renowned as the ideal place to hang out and watch sporting events; and no such facility was offered on the north coast.

Plasma screen televisions

As you enter the restaurant/pub, you are greeted with a décor of rich dark wood fixtures, plush banquette furniture complemented by huge plasma screen televisions. The outdoor setting continues the restaurant's diverse dining options. Some persons may prefer to experience the breathtaking sunset each day as they dine.

The delightful treats that persons can choose from during the Gleaner-sponsored Restaurant Week include roasted breadfruit salad with curried salt-fish and ginger scented callaloo drizzled with balsamic glazed. If your appetite craves an interesting taste of multicultural cooking, then the curried salt fish risotto with ginger scented callaloo topped with breadfruit chips in Scotch bonnet ginger butter sauce should hit the spot.

With a seating capacity of 150, special functions can be arranged. One of the holiday celebration that is always a big hit is naturally St Patrick's Day.
