June Plum Restaurant at Mystic Ridge (formerly Crane Ridge) in Ocho Rios makes its debut in Restaurant Week this year in the Tasty category.

Sales and Marketing Manager Jermaine Wilson believes the experience will reap dividends for June Plum.

"We are expecting to be one of the most talked about new and up-and-coming restaurants in Ocho Rios after Restaurant Week. We're looking to put ourselves on the map. A lot of persons haven't heard of June Plum Restaurant, but those who have experienced dining here are very excited to come back."

Chef Dwight Watkis, who will be assisted by chef Marlon Ricketts, will serve up seasonal Jamaican food, incorporating international and local cuisine. According to Wilson, "It will create a blast for the appetite and the palate.

"Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, the June Plum experience will satisfy. Dining at June Plum, you'll experience the warmth of the surroundings, the warmth of the staff and exquisite dishes not only in taste but in presentation. Our service is by far one of the best in Ocho Rios as we aim to be perfect every time."

We say welcome to June Plum at Mystic Ridge and encourage you to try its food, labelled as traditional, international, or simply Caribbean.
