Dōgon by Kwame Onwuachi

Chef Kwame Onwuachi is no stranger to pushing boundaries, and at his  Washington, D.C. restaurant, he honors them and the West African lineage that helped draw the borders of the District of Columbia. Dōgon by Kwame Onwuachi sits along the revitalized Southwest waterfront in Salamander Washington DC, and the acclaimed chef returns to the nation’s capital with a concept inspired by DC Surveyor Benjamin Banneker and his heritage to the West African Dogon tribe. Pronounced “Doh-gon,” the restaurant serves vibrant cuisine through an Afro-Caribbean lens and draws from Onwuachi’s unique Nigerian, Jamaican, Trinidadian and Creole background.
