SURINAM HEATWAVE
August 15 – September 27
THE CARIBBEAN EMBASSY
Book Our Event Space
Serving Hot Soul Soup and Slow Fast Food in Copenhagen, Denmark since 2016. Our eclectic Caribbean and Latin inspired cuisine is paired with natural wine from remarkable women producers during our popular HOUSEWIFE ROAST events.
From August 15 until September 27, 2025, you can enjoy SURINAM HEATWAVE. This new dining experience draws from the layered history of Suriname, a former Dutch colony shaped by African, Javanese, Indian, Indigenous, Chinese, and European migration. This time, the wine focus is on Heya Wines – Claudine Lteif and Michelle Chami. Lebanon meets Suriname in the glass. Unexpected pairings that bring lift to heat and brightness to spice. Reservations are open and we look forward to serving this vibrant menu. And yes, there is a playlist to match.

SLOW FAST FOOD
The present-day housewife is an art form. It is someone who takes care of her family, friends, and community through healthy food and loving care. Housewives (and housemen for that matter) are very much needed in our current society, where people are always in a hurry. Eating unhealthy nutrition is almost unavoidable, because the choice is often limited when you are pressed for time. The Caribbean Housewife provides nourishing and delightful food options in stressful times.
A SMILE ON YOUR FACE
Next to uplifting food and drinks, there is inspiring music such as afro-beat, calypso, latin jazz, salsa, samba, dancehall, and reggae, as well as art by female contemporary artists, who give an eye-opening view on black art, visual culture, diaspora, identity, and intersectional feminism.
The Caribbean Housewife is a place where you can slow down, get honest, healthy, and delicious food, listen to great music, and have a chat. We want you to leave with a smile on your face.

“We had a lovely dinner here! Such a hidden gem and a special place. Someone described it as Copenhagen’s best kept secret and I completely agree. Jamain is incredibly warm and it feels like she is hosting a dinner party at her home. Food is excellent and the atmosphere is welcoming. Book in advance! Will definitely come back the next time I’m in Copenhagen.”
“I’ve been a customer of The Caribbean Housewife for many years and love the beautifully presented, creative vegan food on the ever changing menu. The pop-up dinners at various locations are always a wonderful experience, as well. Not to mention the great natural wine pairings!”
“Amazing food with great vegetarian options, amazing location, and a chef/owner who is gracious, welcoming, and passionate about her work! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!”
