How a roadside grill in Calabar, a stubborn uncle and one unforgettable night of burnt plantain taught us the rub we now baste our ribeye with.
Good food comes with








Fridays we push the tables back. A highlife band plays by the window, the grill stays open past midnight and dessert is on the house for anyone still standing for the last song. Saturdays are quieter. We light the terrace candles and let the fire do the talking.
