November 11 - 19 is Restaurant Week here in Jamaica. A couple of friends and I decided to join in and see what it was all about.
According to the official website:
Restaurant Week spans three cities, Kingston, Montego Bay, and Ocho Rios, and this will give diners more opportunities to share in one of the island's most celebrated culinary experiences.
Categories All participating restaurants will offer a choice of pre-selected three-course dinner menus. Restaurants will offer three-course meals (appetizer, main course, and dessert) in one of five categories:
"Tasty" dinner menus are $1,450
"Savory" are $2,000
"Delectable" meals are $3,300
"Epicurean" experiences are available for $3,800 and
Avocado Pizza – In Season Avocado Pear Layered on a bed of assorted Cheeses, Farm Fresh Lettuce tossed in Mayonnaise, Market Tomatoes and topped with Diced Jerked Chicken Breast.

The avocado pieces look too large for the pizza, i think smaller pieces would have looked more put together
@Anonymous, I thought that there would have been bite sized pieces as well but, it tasted good nonetheless. Thank you for your comment, tell a friend. Like us on Facebook if you haven't so far. =)
@Ryo, They not only look delicious they were! The Naples pizza was such a pleasant surprise. I bit into it and then I tasted something sweet, and I'm like, What is this doing here? But it was really tasty and spicy. Sigh...
