Wa Mi Dounou

Beyond pleasantry, this West African phrase reflects the culture's importance on community, connection and sharing.

It is a polite invitation to nourish the body and the soul, through shared experiences, anecdotes and tradition. It also serves as a way to understand and appreciate the rich cultural heritage of the region.

 
 

who we are

 
 

We are a collective of chefs across the diaspora who are on an exploration of black foodways, to reclaim our ancestry and to show how food is embedded in our identity..

We invite you to sit with us as we explore the idea of Home and Pan-African cuisine through this multi-course dining experience which honors our past while restoring our future.
