Sweet Elegance seeks to make a mark in a competitive local entertainment sector

Soft opening: guests dining at the Sweet Elegance last weekend

Raymond and Agisha David, a Guyanese brother and sister team, have challenged themselves to ‘look in’ on Guyana from their long-established home in Suriname, to test their entrepreneurial mettle in the country’s entertainment sector. By the time the Stabroek Business had wound up its almost one-hour conversation with the two, they had succeeded in persuading us their now almost complete fine dining restaurant, Sweet Elegance, situated at 243 Albert street, is a challenge that they are backing themselves to meet. Their mission is clear cut. Sweet Elegance, David says, seeks to fit snugly into the wider transformational trend in the various sectors of the Guyana economy, not least the entertainment sector. They are determined, he says, that their fine-dining dream will become accepted as part of the urban ‘makeover’ which they see emerging in the country’s capital.
