Manager of Starapples, Kurt Reid, uses two words to describe the cuisine offered at Starapples; "deliciously Jamaican." Any visit to this little oasis on Hope Road will provide you with all the Jamaican favourites in their best form.

He explains; "This Gleaner-sponsored Kingston Restaurant Week (KRW), will see the relaunch of Starapples Restaurant and we can't think of a better time to show off our refreshing new look and to welcome our customers who've been forced on hiatus for the past month."

Reid believes KRW is an ideal celebration of Kingston's diverse and rich dining culture. "It also allows us to give our customers a gift of deeply discounted three course meals to thank them for their continued patronage," he added.

New stars

The year's KRW will see some new stars on their menu as well as some old favourites. The signature dish for this year will be jerk sausage and peppers pasta salad. A great fusion of Jamaican and Italian cuisine, it promises to be a delightful dish to the eye as well as the taste buds.
