Located in Harbour Shops on Main Street, Twisted Kilt offers everything Irish, with a twist. For example, female staff, not male, wear the kilt! And the kilts are a bit shorter than usual, which makes them even more appealing.

But what is even more appealing is the mouth-watering items on the menu: chicken wings, burgers and their speciality, fish and chips, to name a few.

For Restaurant Week, both Montego Bay and Ocho Rios locations will serve up just what the customers want, as the menus vary just slightly. For Ocho Rios, the braised short ribs replace the grilled chicken breast.

Scrumptuous food choices

But who cares? When you have a choice of either buffalo, garlic, jerked or fried chicken wings, red peas soup, or house spring salad as appetisers, it sets you up for anything delicious that may follow.

So will it be fish and chips, or braised short ribs, with roasted breadfruit salad with curried salt fish and ginger-scented callaloo?

Or curried salt fish risotto with ginger-scented callaloo topped with breadfruit chips, drizzled with Scotch bonnet butter sauce?

Whatever the choice, Irish whiskey bread pudding or ice cream cake will make perfect dessert.

'Excite taste buds'

The opportunity to dine at a newly opened restaurant with good food, coupled with the excitement of Restaurant Week coming to Ocho Rios for the first time, should excite the taste buds even more. Owner André Dixon is glad that Restaurant Week is being extended beyond Kingston for the first time. He encourages everyone to come out and support the week.

"I anticipate good things, absolutely! I encourage people to come on out for the experience. They will get value for money," he says.
