Dark Wood & Candlelight
Dark ceramic plates, copper-gold flatware, and soft globe candles on rich wood grain. The table is set with intention before a single dish arrives. Everything about Dogon's atmosphere says: slow down, you're going to be here a while.
The Astronomer
Bayab African gin, housemade chai tea, lemon, orgeat, aquafaba, and lavender. A gorgeous foamy crown on a coupe glass, garnished with dried lavender. Smooth, aromatic, and layered. The kind of drink that sets the mood before a single plate hits the table.
Mom Dukes Shrimp
Shrimp cooked in holy trinity and Frenchman butter with a squeeze of lemon, served with pillowy rounds of coco bread for soaking up every drop. Named with love, and it tastes like it. Rich, buttery, and gone way too fast.
Hoe Crab
Dogon's signature starter. Lump crab with shitto crisp, scooped up with golden plantain hoe cakes. A small cup of aji verde rounds it out alongside a squeeze of fresh lime. Sweet, spicy, and impossibly fun to eat.
Coco Bread
Three golden, pillowy rounds of coco bread served warm in a handmade ceramic bowl with a side of spiced dipping butter. Soft, slightly sweet, and gone in seconds. The kind of bread basket that ruins your appetite in the best way.
Chicken & Rice
Berbere-roasted chicken on a bed of jollof rice, topped with a bright herb and onion salad. Small pots of lime, hot sauce, and cream on the side. A celebration of Ethiopia through a West African lens, and every component earns its place on the plate.
Curry Branzino
Whole branzino in a coconut mussel curry with callaloo and fresh cilantro. Crispy, charred skin gives way to delicate, flaky flesh. Served with its own bowl of rice and peas on the side.
Rice & Peas
A generous bowl of fragrant rice and peas finished with fresh chives. The branzino's perfect companion, built for soaking up every last bit of that coconut curry.
Braised Wagyu Oxtails
Fall-off-the-bone Wagyu oxtails with a deep, dark glaze, cho cho, and thumbelina carrots. Accented with microgreens and a richness that just doesn't quit. This is the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes.
The Sweet Finish
A trio of desserts to close the evening. Rum Cake with vanilla whip and gooseberry. Cherries and Cream with spiced sorbet and pastry cream. Turmeric Cheesecake with plum jam and thyme anglaise. Each one lighter than the last, a graceful landing after a bold meal.
