A TASTE OF ORLANDOS HISTORY Born in England, Chef Orlando has been promoting caribbean cuisine all his life. He has set up restaurants serving his own unique brand of Caribbean food in places such as Singapore, Miami and London. Arriving in St. Lucia 13 years ago intending to do 2 weeks consultation, he is still here! After 13 years at Ladera, it is now time for his own restaurant.
VISION Orlandos vision is to bring Caribbean food to the world, and to bring the same standing that French, Asian and Chinese cuisines have globally. He also believes in involving the local community by not only collaborating with farmers and fishermen and buying local produce in but by raising awareness of the health benefits of the local produce.
ORLANDOS RESTAURANT Orlandos is situated in the historic town of Soufiere, facing the sea and surrounded by the towering mountains that make St. Lucias scenery one of the most beautiful in the world, with a view of Petit Piton. The restaurant is set in a courtyard with its own mango tree and is entered through an arched gateway, giving it a truely Caribbean feel.
