Courtyard by the Marriott has renovated its restaurant space. Complementing the refreshed interior is a refined culinary menu designed to appeal to both business guests and local food lovers. The hotel's executive chef, Coatiest Gabbidon, spoke to Food about the concept behind the new menu.

“My team and I like to push the boundaries, push the envelope, and think outside of the box. And, at the same time, keep the Jamaican identity to it, presenting local dishes but with an international flair, so that we cater to everyone; those who want to walk in as well as our international guests,” he explained to Food, adding, “We want to make sure we give them a taste of Jamaica and something from home too.”

During a special launch event, the team gave specially invited guests the opportunity to enjoy some of the menu must-haves.
