Spices & Memories of a Dutch-Caribbean Childhood. A Story of Diaspora and Belonging.

Signature Menu

Our latest dining experience draws from the layered history of Suriname, a former Dutch colony shaped by African, Javanese, Indian, Indigenous, Chinese, and European migration. These intertwined influences shaped a national identity and a distinct cuisine that sustained people through the diaspora.

Reservation Required I Restaurant 18:00 – 22:00 (kitchen closes at 21:00).
