Dōgon by Kwame Onwuachi

at Salamander Washington DC

Washington D.C • United States

Overview

Dōgon by Kwame Onwuachi sits along the revitalized Southwest waterfront in Salamander, Washington DC, and the acclaimed chef makes his highly anticipated return to the nation's capital with a concept inspired by D.C. 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.
