Culinary Experience
Look out for some new features at the Main Stage event at the Pigeon island National Landmark from May 8th – 10th, 2015.
Featured Restaurant
Located at the northern end of Soufriere, Orlando’s is in a beautiful courtyard garden setting where they serve ‘Ti Manje’, which means ‘small plate of food’ in the local Kwéyòl language.
Chef Orlando’s mission is simple: to make Caribbean cuisine as influential and flavourful as other internationally known cuisines by using only the freshest local fish, meats and produce to create his masterpieces. There is also a small, but very carefully chosen wine list that pairs well with the cuisine and enhances the dining experience.
The Orlando’s culinary experience in 2015, will be featured at the Gourmet Restaurant at the Pigeon Island National Landmark for the Saint Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival. This should not be missed!
Chef Biography
Chef Orlando Satchell is a world renowned chef, he was an Executive chef at Ladera for 14 years. He was asked to set up the first Caribbean restaurant in Singapore and in several top hotels in London. The prestigious James Beard Foundation in New York invited him to demonstrate his cooking style at an event which makes him the first Caribbean chef to be invited. He has also demonstrated at Le Cordon Bleu in London.
Orlando left Ladera in 2012 and opened his own restaurant in Soufriere in December of that year. He gained a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor after only one year and has held the number one restaurant in Soufriere spot since within a few short weeks of opening.
Whilst at Ladera following his ethos of ‘buy local’, he liaised with local producers to ensure the best possible quality of ingredients. Since opening his restaurant he has extended this principle to local meat and fish producers as well to try to involve the community as a whole towards the production of wholesome food.
Orlando has always believed in encouraging young chefs and to this end has trained, encouraged and mentored many young people. He has rarely refused a request from a school to speak at Careers Day or judge a cooking competition.
Please note that there are 15 tables available, each with 4 seats.
