Our Story
Lenox Restaurant 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.
Lenox Restaurant’s namesake is a homage to Lenox Avenue, a thoroughfare that runs through the heart of Harlem. Lenox Avenue is known for its diverse dining scene and rich cultural history. 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.
Over the past three years, Lenox Afro Latin Soul has made its mark as a dynamic pop-up restaurant in Seattle. We’ve had the honor of partnering with a multitude of Seattle restaurants, as well as residencies at local craft beer breweries.
Our journey as a pop-up restaurant has been an exciting and ever-evolving adventure. In 2022, Chef Jhonny Reyes had the opportunity to compete on Food Network’s Chopped and subsequently earned the title of Chopped Champion.
Built off support from the Seattle Restaurant community and the success of Chopped, our initial dream to open a brick and mortar location in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood has come to fruition.
Throughout the years, we’ve 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.
