Cafe Aubergine Bistro & Wine Bar Kingston, Jamaica

Stepping into Café Aubergine, patrons aren't only greeted by a pleasant host but also water color paintings embellishing soft gold colored walls, complimented by white linen table tops, a beautiful grand piano and antique furniture. Whether dining indoors listening to a pianist on special nights, outdoors on the shared courtyard or on the veranda shielded by the awning of the wine bar, the ambiance at Café Aubergine immediately sets the tone for fine dining and gourmet Mediterranean food from their à la carte menu. The menu comprises mostly of pork, beef and seafood, succulently prepared with the aid of herbs, spices and wine sauces which are popular in sophisticated French cuisine. Classic menu items include: French Onion Soup, Bouillabaisse and Mussels a la Marinara and wonderful non-meat alternatives are the vegetarian Tortellini Lasagna and Aubergine au Gratin. It goes without mention that the bistro offers an extensive selection of fine dry wines which opens up the appetite and enhances the taste of food. - Rushel Miller
