Kwéyòl Restaurant and Bar is the newest addition to Giorgio Nava’s popular venue, Botanik Social House, located on Queen Victoria Street.

Opened by Caribbean supermodel, Mala Bryan, the restaurant is a melting pot of Creole flavours, colours and music inspired by Mala’s Afro-Caribbean childhood in St. Lucia.

The eatery is situated in a tropical jungle in the venue that is located opposite the Company’s Garden. Kwéyòl, being the Caribbean word for Creole, offers many culinary specialities in addition to their signature tropical cocktails and virgin fruit punches served in their upbeat bar.

The menu includes a variety of traditional side dishes ideal for starters such as Island Girl’s rice & beans and more substantial dishes such as stewed oxtail and the occasional curried goat. Vegans and vegetarians are also spoilt for choice as the menu includes curried chickpeas, curried soya chunks, and Ital stew – a Rustafarian dish of okra, peas, butternut, carrots and plantains.
