UP ON THE ROOF RESTAURANT IN KINGSTON JAMAICA
Up On the Roof is a premiere
Jamaican restaurant in the new
area that provides for fun, good
music and a liming spot. Up On
the Roof with restaurateurs,
Johanna and Susan have begun the
perfect setting that lends
itself to just these very
things. The restaurant has a
well compiled and an excellent
Jamaican food recipe, this is
complemented by an elegant table
setting which is surrounded by
an international cache of art,
while the hard rooftop is
softened by tropical palms and
vibrant fabrics and makes this
restaurant the most heartwarming
on the new hips strip of the
Knut ford Blvd.
Restaurateur
Johanna Thwaites has designed
the menu for up on the roof as a
mix of local Jamaican recipe
favorites, with a different
preparation technique and
presentational style from the
normal methods used by other
restaurants. The obvious fact
that Johanna is a chef herself
makes it even more dramatic. The
fusion of Caribbean recipes has
helped in the popularity of the
restaurant where you can find
great recipes such as Greek
salad with feta cheese. The
restaurant is now often
considered eclectic.
The restaurateur opened her first restaurant, on Waterloo Road, then
on July 5 1981, opened The Orchid restaurant, in the garden of a
Great House on Waterloo. That was unfortunately burnt down, and the
restaurateur converted an old JOS bus to be the Incredible Edible
restaurant on Knutsford Boulevard. International Yard restaurant was
in a cottage of that same Great House property on Waterloo until the
building was destroyed by Hurricane Gilbert in 19888. The chef and
restaurateur left the Jamaican cooking business and pursued a career
in furniture making.
Then she opened this restaurant in May 2003, and this excellent
restaurant is much different from all the others. The location of
the Up on the Roof restaurant is described as serendipity. Nestled
directly above the Club Epiphany on the New Knutsford Boulevard, the
venue was actually designed to be a canteen on the roof that would
be used to sell jerk chicken recipes and jerk fish recipes. The
restaurateur contacted the owner immediately before this happened
and purchased the property to start her dream restaurant. The name
for the restaurant was borne from the famous ballad from the sixties
which smacked up on the Roof.
The restaurant is open for business Mondays to Fridays from noon to
midnight and on Saturdays until the last guest leaves. Regular
patrons, both locals and visitors to expect something new and very
exciting to the restaurant menu.
The locals from the capital of Jamaica however remain such as the
chicken, shrimp or Bahamian conch in coconut curried sauce, and the
Boston double pork chop with sweet potatoes and pineapple. Up On the
Roof restaurant serves both lunch and dinner, in ethnic dishes and
has begun infusing food from the Middle East, India and China.
D'Roof can be located in New, 73 Knutsford Blvd. Kingston 5. You can
