A post on its Facebook page said: “Happy Sunday! (it was for us at Rendezvous!)

"Thank you to @usainbolt who visited us yesterday to celebrate his friend @ricardobibigardner birthday Once again it was a pleasure to meet you and show you around our New Restaurant & Bar!

Bolt won eight Olympic medals and set world records in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay during an illustrious sporting career.
