Basseterre, July 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — After a two-year hiatus brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, St Kitts and Nevis will once again celebrate the annual “Restaurant Week” from July 14 to 24, 2022. With this, the twin island country is set to celebrate its culture, cuisine, and local ingredients with the island’s best chefs.
Restaurant week is an event where restaurants offer reduced or fixed price menus so that customers can try many different types of food that may normally be out of their price range.
Mid and upper-range establishments join restaurant week annually, but any restaurant can take part in the event. The general concept is that local restaurants partner with local tourist organizations or chambers of commerce to promote a week of lunch and dinner specials.
St Kitts and Nevis’ restaurant week will also shine a spotlight on Kittitian and Nevisian farmers. During each stage of the activities and competitions during the week, the restaurants will highlight the significance of farmers among the travellers. They will showcase the vibrant cultural and authentic cuisine of the twin island with magnificent events.
Among the events planned for this year is the Tasting Showcase, which will be held in both St Kitts and Nevis, where restaurants serve up dishes made from this year’s theme ingredient – sweet potato. The St Kitts Tasting Showcase takes place on July 10 and the Nevis version on July 16. Besides this, there will also be a bartender/mixologist competition where participants will complete the winning cocktail, “The Eye-Opener”, which must feature one of the Kitts rums, and it will take place on July 14.
Another key event on the calendar will be Grill Fest on July 23, which “pays tribute to the grill masters as they vie for the title of Best Grill Master in three categories: poultry, pork and seafood”. Every participating restaurant will offer savoury dishes and beverages to the attendees as they will witness the serving up of the tasty dishes featuring the sweet potato.
Participating restaurants will design one-off menus, each incorporating the theme ingredient. More than 50 restaurants will be participating in the event to give local experiences through culinary, entertainment and artisans.
One of the participating restaurants will be Serendipity, a cosy restaurant, lounge, and bar situated in the historic Fortlands, a short walk from downtown Basseterre. Both Serendipity’s extensive lunch and dinner menus will offer the patrons a wide variety of local and international cuisine.
Another restaurant, Four Seasons Resort Nevis, will participate in St Kitts and Nevis Restaurant Week and its three-course menu will surely showcase the talent of the Four Seasons culinary team. Natalia Ristorante resorts also expressed pleasure in announcing their participation in this annual tradition of dining out and celebrating local ingredients. Their chefs have curated a special three-course menu featuring simple Italian classics and sweet potato.
