Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi

"A high-end restaurant by Kwame Onwuachi, reflecting his exploration of Black food roots and African diaspora cuisines." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Tatiana is a restaurant located in New York City’s Lincoln Center, named after Chef Kwame Onwuachi’s sister. It is an homage to his West African, Caribbean, and Creole roots. The restaurant aims to honor the history of Old San Juan Hill, a predominantly Black and Afro-Latin neighborhood that preceded Lincoln Center. Chef Kwame's intention is to create a space that reflects his culture and upbringing, offering an authentic culinary experience that brings together a diverse community." - Alexis Benveniste

"A New York City restaurant known for its Cosmic Brownie-inspired dessert called the Bodega Special, featuring a carob-colored brownie with ganache and candy-coated chocolate chips, served with Donettes-flavored ice cream." - BySam Stone

"Top Chef season 13 contestant, Bronx native, and D.C.-based chef Kwame Onwuachi ventured out with his first New York City spot, fine dining Afro Caribbean restaurant Tatiana at Lincoln Center. The cool and hard-to-book reservation spot’s dishes are steeped with NYC and African diaspora roots — look no further than the suya-spiced wagyu short rib pastrami served with coco bread." - Nadia Chaudhury

"After a night out at Lincoln Center, if you want a burger, the move is to swing by P.J. Clarke’s. But if you’re looking for a fancier dining option, the performance center’s own restaurant, Tatiana is the pick. Owned by Top Chef alum, Kwame Onwuachi, the chef takes staples of Bronx youth and remixes them in a fine dining context with items like a jerk lamb rib ($38) or short rib pastrami suya for $120 (up from last year’s $86). Book reservations online." - Melissa McCart
