1609 Restaurant Re-Opens At Princess
Seasonal restaurant 1609 re-opened today [April 5] at Hamilton Princess & Beach Club with a “newly inspired menu.”
A spokesperson said, “Diners will experience a taste of Latin America with new small plates choripan, which is a sourdough baguette with Argentinian-style chorizo sausage, melted mozzarella cheese and oregano chargrilled, and topped with chimichurri. The veggie empanada, filled with corn, onion, mozzarella and poblano peppers, is a tasty delight for non-meat eaters.
“Flatbread lovers will enjoy the newly featured pozole option; topped with the pork braised from the pozole soup, garnished with red onion, cheese and radish. Taco fans will love the Baja-style Rosarito fish taco with a crispy batter crust, spicy aioli, cabbage salad and refreshing tomatillo sauce.”
1609 Restaurant’s Chef de Cuisine, Oscar Trejo, said, “The menu guarantees fresh, flavourful food. The key ingredient in each dish is garlic and seasonings, and some items will have chilies. Not every dish is spicy, though it will be tasty.”
The spokesperson said, “Some of Chef Oscar’s must try dishes at 1609 are the vegan roasted portobello ceviche, the charred octopus with corn puree, cauliflower al pastor, roasted snapper with Mama Trejo’s rice, the braised beef empanada, and our signature guacamole with grilled watermelon.
“Popular items from the previous menu include the golden fried shrimp, and the piri piri chicken wings.
“Pairing well with the festive menu, a new cocktail called the mango sriracha margarita, has a base of blanco tequila, mango nectar, lime juice, sriracha chili sauce, and salt. Well-liked tequila and mezcal drinks from the existing menu, include the Flor de Bermuda, Tequila Cucumber Mule, the Mexican, as well as 1609 classics the Mango Lemon Drop, Pineapple Crush, and the Hand-Shaken Bartender’s Colada.
“1609 Restaurant will be open from 11:30am to 11:00pm for lunch and dinner, Wednesdays through Sundays, followed by daily service starting in May.
“Reservations for 1609 can be made by calling 441-298-2028 or emailing Ham.DiningReservations@Fairmont.com.”
How many Bermudians on staff?? I know a kid who has three interviews but they knew they wouldn’t pick him before the third one. He got a rejection email while on the way to the 3rd interview. He was hoping it was an error, it wasn’t …..these corporations play with people.
Maybe he wasn’t good enough.
