KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 (Bernama) -- St Kitts and Nevis will once again celebrate the annual “Restaurant Week” from July 14 to 24, 2022, after a two-year hiatus brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.
With this, the twin island country is set to celebrate its culture, cuisine, and local ingredients with the island's best chefs.
According to a statement, 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 will join Restaurant Week annually, but any restaurant can take part in the event. The general concept is that local restaurants partner with local tourist organisations 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.
Among the events planned for this year is the Tasting Showcase which will be held in both St Kitts and Nevis. Another key event is the Grill Fest on July 23, which “pays tribute to the grill masters as they vie for the title of Best Grill Master in two categories: poultry and seafood”.
Every participating restaurant will offer savoury dishes and beverages to the attendees as they witness the serving up of the tasty dishes made from this year's theme ingredient -- sweet potato.
St Kitts and Nevis have built an excellent reputation for cuisine in recent years. Chefs on the islands guard local recipes zealously, but as well as Creole and West Indian fare, they also specialise in Chinese, Western and Indian dishes.
The country has paved the progressive path with the help of tourism and the Citizenship by Investment Programme. St Kitts and Nevis is providing alternative citizenship to investors across the globe in exchange for the financial contribution to the country's economy.
