Jamaica luxury resort wins big at the Observer Table Talk Food Awards
Royal Plantation wins in Best Sunday Spot category and nominated for The Coolest Watering Hole, Best Place to Go When Someone Else is Buying and Best Service categories
New York, NY, USA (June 26, 2006) – Royal Plantation Ocho Rios, Jamaica, a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, was nominated for four restaurant awards at this year’s Observer Table Talk Food Awards, and took home top honours for Best Sunday Spot. The hallmark of a leisurely Sunday at Royal Plantation is the hotel’s popular Sunday brunch.
Brunch is served on an elevated terrace overlooking one of Royal Plantation’s private beaches while guests are serenaded by live jazz. The extensive brunch menu features a wide array of gourmet fare and fresh tropical fruits, as well as traditional Jamaican delicacies. From rich chocolate croissants and warm blueberry pancakes to decadent lobster scrambled eggs and sparkling mimosas, Royal Plantation’s Sunday brunch is able to excite even the most discerning gourmand. Adding to this unique brunch experience, on one Sunday each month, Royal Plantation’s current artist in residence takes a break from their on-property art sessions to join guests for brunch and conversation on Jamaican art and culture.
The Best Sunday Spot was an extremely competitive category this year. A leisurely Sunday brunch is an important tradition in Jamaican culture – it is a special occasion to be surrounded by ones friends and family revelling in their one true day of rest. Royal Plantation’s Sunday brunch gives guests the opportunities to relax by the sea while enjoying epicurean cuisine and local Jamaican delights in a truly welcoming, yet intimate setting. The award-winning Sunday brunch is the perfect start to a memorable day of unrestrained elegance, exquisite luxury and ultimate pleasure at Royal Plantation.
In addition to winning in the Best Sunday Spot category, Royal Plantation was also nominated for Best Service, a testament to the property’s dedication to its guests, serious attention to detail, and its exquisite dining options as a whole. Royal Plantation’s C-Bar, the Caribbean’s only caviar and champagne bar, was nominated for the Best Place to Go When Someone Else is Buying award as well as The Coolest Watering Hole award. C-bar offers guests lavish dinners devised around the art of sabrage, where guests watch Master Sommelier Vincenzo Calcerano use a sabre to remove the corks off their champagne while they enjoy several great bottles of bubbly perfectly paired with five courses of delectable gourmet cuisine.
The Observer Table Talk Food Awards celebrate the best of Jamaican dining. The competition is judged by some of the top food connoisseurs in Jamaica, including chefs and culinary artists, grocery chain owners and local business leaders in order to bring a diverse base of knowledge and opinions to the table in their judging.
