It was a week of sheer culinary delight and delicious discoveries. Food lovers from far and near converged on the city of Kingston from November 11-18 to take advantage of Kingston Restaurant Week's (KRW) special offerings. Over 28 restaurants participated in the annual event organised by SSCO Event Management and The Gleaner Company. KRW 2006, however, served up much more than food.

Many restaurateurs rolled out entertainment packages to complement their scrumptious fare. Pluto Shervington thrilled diners at RedBones, belly-dancing took centrestage at Café Aubergine and for each night of the week, Acropolis had live entertainment onstage which included Judy Emmanuel in cabaret and the soulful trio, Ebony.

'After hours', a new dimension to KRW 2006, had diners enjoying complimentary cocktails and entertainment at six of the city's favourite night spots after dinning at one of the participating restaurants.

There were several high points that made KRW 2006 special including an executive/celebrity cook-off with Cable and Wireless CEO, Rodney Davis, Juliet Cuthbert's 'four by four' restaurant hop, graduation dinner parties, wedding receptions and birthday celebrations, and just good lyming with friends.

Our roving camera captured some special moments.
