A Culinary Journey Of Two Worlds
Soul Kitchen pays homage to the rich history of Arab migration to Latin America in the 19th century. These brave souls brought with them not just their culture but also their cherished recipes. From Buenos Aires to Mexico City, Levantine cuisine found its way across the continent, adapting and evolving with each region it touched. The story of migration fuelled culinary creativity.
The menu at Soul Kitchen is a delightful reflection of this historical journey. Every dish embodies the unique blend of ingredients, flavours, and cultural exchange that defined this cross-continental migration. Some star attractions include the Sheri Fish Crudo, delicately infused with tabbouleh water and jicama crudité, the Grilled Calamari marinated with achiote, and the Tamarind Glazed Lamb Chops. There’s also a treat for vegans with options like the Lychee Ceviche and Mushroom Kebab. Executive Chef Margarita Vaamonde passionately shares, “These two cultures have an untold story that intertwines history, pride, and a deep passion for food.”

Crafted Cocktails & Fine Wines
Complementing this culinary journey are expertly crafted cocktails by the skilled mixologist Jaco Raath. He artfully combines traditional ingredients from both the Levantine and Latin American regions, resulting in modern classics like the Arak-Lychee Bellini, Rum-Mango Ice Tea infused with cardamom and clarified mate, Peachy Margarita with sumac flavors, and the Turkish Manhattan with a hint of coffee.
