According to a recent permit filing, Lenox Afro Latin Soul will soon open its doors in Belltown at 2510 1st Avenue.
A representative of Lenox Afro Latin Soul was not immediately available for commentary upon What Now Seattle’s request.
According to Lenox’s Instagram biography section, they will open their doors sometime in the spring of this year. Behind Lenox is the chef and owner, Jhonny Reyes.
Lenox Afro Latin Soul’s website provides more information by stating, “Lenox is inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Afro and Latin American cuisine, particularly the fusion of these cuisines that can be found in Harlem, New York City. The restaurant’s name, Lenox, is a nod to Lenox Avenue, a major thoroughfare in Harlem that is known for its diverse dining scene and rich cultural history.”
“Originally born in Spanish Harlem, I moved to Seattle, WA when I was very young. Growing up in Seattle I’ve always wanted to cook. From my first job in 2006 as a dishwasher at a local Italian restaurant in Seward Park, I have honed my skills to create what I now call Lenox.”
“The restaurant’s menu features traditional dishes from Puerto Rico, Cuba, and other Afro and Latin American countries, prepared with high-quality ingredients and traditional cooking techniques that I’ve picked up while working in Seattle’s diverse cooking scene.”
“Over the past three years, Lenox Afro Latin Soul has made its mark as a dynamic pop-up restaurant in Seattle. We have had the pleasure of bringing our vibrant and soulful cuisine to countless restaurants throughout the city, as well as two residencies in local breweries. Recently, we have expanded our offerings to include plated coursed dinners and catering, creating an even more immersive and intimate dining experience for our guests.”
“With the introduction of plated, coursed dinners, we’ve been able to take our pop-up experience to the next level. These dinners allow us to create a more intimate setting, where guests can fully immerse themselves in the culinary journey we offer. Each course is thoughtfully crafted, showcasing the depth and complexity of Afro-Latin flavors. It is an opportunity for us to share our passion, tell the stories behind each dish, and create lasting memories for our guests.”
“Throughout these three years, we have been humbled and grateful for the support and enthusiasm we have received from the Seattle community. It is the encouragement and feedback from our guests that has fueled our growth and inspired us to continue pushing culinary boundaries and set roots in Seattle,” the website adds.
