A NEW CHAPTER
The Caribbean Housewife is opening a new location in Rome! Vibrant Caribbean and Latin American cuisine rooted in diaspora flavours with natural wine pairings from remarkable women producers. Founded in 2016, the concept serving Hot Soul Soup and Slow Fast Food earned its name in Copenhagen (Denmark) through curated dinners and sold out Housewife Roast events with loyal international guests. Led by Dutch Caribbean executive chef Jamain Brigitha, in collaboration with Roman Sicilian sous chef Emiliano Trebbi.
HOUSEWIFE ROAST
Reservations are currently available for the period of September to December 2026. You can pre-book two experiences: our signature menu À LA TABLE CRÉOLE and BRUNCH & BUBBLES on Sundays. Please note that we are unable to accommodate walk-ins or reservation requests via phone / social media. Get in the mood with the Roma Aperta soundscape. We can’t wait to welcome you at our Roman location!

The Caribbean Housewife x Heya Wines – Limited Edition
In honour of the new chapter in Rome and our 10-year anniversary in October 2026, Heya Wines from Lebanon produced a dedicated cuvée with a unique label for The Caribbean Housewife. In the spring of 2026, the anniversary cuvée was successfully backed through Coop Crowdfunding in Denmark, with pre-orders already secured by 42 supporters months before release. If you missed the campaign, you can now order the cuvée directly via our online store.
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.”
“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!”
“I have only had the most fabulous experiences with this company and it’s incredibly, kind, considerate, and most conscientious owners and staff.”
