Tanya Stephens opens restaurant in Ocho Rios

[evanovitch]

Taking entrepreneurial steps one at a time, dancehall artiste Tanya Stephens is hoping to breathe some new life into Ocho Rios and it's not through music. The singjay recently opened her first restaurant <span style="font-weight: bold">H2O in the Coconut Grove Shopping Centre in Ocho Rios.</span>

Joking that it was her addiction to food and alcohol that drove her into starting her own restaurant where she could have both daily, H2O officially opened its doors to customers on New Year's weekend.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Although she doesn't actually cook at the restaurant, Stephens brings her own spice and twist to the mixed cuisine on the menu.</span>

Having grown up and currently living in the Ocho Rios vicinity, the tourist resort town was the ideal spot for Stephens to begin making one of many strides outside of music. She told the STAR, &quot;The motivation came from wanting to show that I had more ability than music and that I had a choice of things to do, plus I really am addicted to food. Right now, I'm my biggest customer, I eat there every day.&quot;

With H2O being a little known secret outside of Ocho Rios, Stephens is approaching the restaurant like she does her music, wanting to perfect her craft before presenting it fully to the public. <span style="font-weight: bold">Despite the lack of publicity, the restaurant is still doing well</span> attracting a mix of locals and tourists.
