The secret of his meals lies in the natural herbs and spices he uses and his culinary experience to inspire non-vegetarians to partake of his delicious meals at his Millennium Victory Vegetarian Restaurant in Montego Bay.

With more than 25 years of experience in the kitchen, Fitzroy Lawrence, or Chef Kush (as he is famously known), continues to dish out innovative meals each day for his growing list of customers, at an affordable price. Such consistency in pleasing the palates has earned him the reputation of being the best vegetarian restaurant in the tourism capital that works well if you're on a budget.

Chef Kush's sweet and sour tofu with vegetable pasta and fresh vegetables is one of those lunch meals that have you enthralled by how delicious vegetarian meals can be while being so immaculately simple.

"Natural herbs and spices, once fused together properly, allow each meal to be special. At Millennium Victory, it's about helping customers to lead a healthy lifestyle; but that does not mean it cannot be delicious. So we try to offer a variety of healthy meal options that is not boring," Chef Kush pointed out.

When blended carrots are cooked with oats to make a delicious porridge in the morning or the same with pumpkin, there is nothing ordinary or boring about what goes on in the kitchen of this culinary expert.

His famous veggie fried rice with ackee stew and vegetables is as unique as it is delectable, and offers a renewed appreciation for how brown bulga rice can be fused so nicely with vegetables to create a powerfully well-balanced meal.

His African stew, which consists of green peas, broad beans and vegetables, is also one of the hot items on the menu especially since it is served with turned cornmeal mixed with vegetables, herbs and spices.

"There is something here for everyone, whether you are vegan or not. The menu is extensive to accommodate the needs of many. We are different and how we approach food here at Millennium Victory is different. Here is the best vegetarian experience you can have when you are in Montego Bay."
