D'S MODERN CARIBBEAN CUISINE.

A fine dining Trinidadian Restaurant in Campbellford, ON. Who would have ever guessed! Can I get a position? 😄

This place is a gem and I am so excited to share it. New Tapas menu looks 🔥🔥🔥

A life altering, inspiring and fateful meeting with the most amazing owner and chef, Ms D, herself.

I recommend if you are anywhere between Toronto and Ottawa to make the trip to Campbellford to be blown away by the flavours of Trinidad refined and elevated.

That's just the food. The interior of the restaurant is elegant, has a comforting warmth and reflects a bold style with a clear love of art, juxtaposition and colour. Simply elegant, and organically built from love, hard work and dedication. From food truck to brick and mortar, the food is the star and makes you want to come back for more.

The first event was a success.Thank you Richelle Den and Jim for being such great hosts and helpers. You are the heart and soul of Casa DeNaka.

Also a huge thanks to all the guests who joined us for our first official event at Casa DeNaka. It was a huge success. I am so glad to have met each and everyone of you who came out to relax and share your love in luxury at Casa D. First snowed in group of Guest and it couldn't have been a better group of people to be stuck with.

Special shout out to my husband, Dan Skinner thank you for all your assistance and input. I wouldn't have been able to do any of it without you supporting me along the way.

You are my person, and I work and function better with you at my side. you are my calm in the storm, the light in the dark, my perfect opposite, and the only person I could imagine spending my life with.

I am not the easiest person to take direction from in a pressurized situation. I am picky, particular and prone to just do it myself. You stayed steady, worked hard on your feet everyday day this weekend, and kept me from going too overboard. You and I make a great team, when we know who is in charge! LoL 😈

I don't know how I'll be able to accomplish my vision, when I must go without you. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I appreciate you for who you are and who I am next to you. Let's be better together, everyday! Mmmmmuah. 😘😘😘

Casa D has given me an opportunity to showcase my range of skills, culinary style and achieve dishes i would never have the chance to create in any other setting. The support and love I have been shown at Casa D is inspiring and I plan to always pay that love forward to our guests.

Thank you to all the angels, Valerie Switzer , , Griffin . Your perspective input, time, effort, dedication, and love for Casa D have not gone unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do.

Here is to many more successful events, providing luxurious experiences to our guest!

🥂 cheers to us all.
