Join JBF Greens for Afro-Latin soul food at Lenox in Belltown.
Open since June 2024, Lenox grew out of dynamic pop-up restaurant, Lenox Afro Latin Soul, which chef Jhonny Reyes opened in 2021 amid the pandemic. Three years later, chef Jhonny’s dream of opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant came to be with the creation of Lenox.
Highlighting traditional dishes from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and other Afro and Latin American countries, Lenox draws inspiration from Harlem, New York, for which it's named, and from where chef Reyes was born. Once described by Langston Hughes as “Harlem’s heartbeat,” Lenox Avenue symbolizes Harlem’s rich cultural history and vibrant dining scene.
For the occasion, chef Jhonny will create a three-course menu that honors his heritage and traditions, and showcases the range and complexity of Afro-Latin flavors.
*70% of your ticket price will go directly to the host chef to support their business while 30% will go towards the Foundation’s national programming that is rooted in advocacy, racial equity, sustainability, and women’s leadership for the culinary industry.
