2021 Refugee Restaurant Week

October 18th-24th

COVID has once again changed the way we'll be celebrating Refugee Restaurant Week this year, but we are thrilled to move forward with an abridged (COVID-safe!) version this year!

Mark those calendars to spend a week celebrating the foods and flavors our refugee and immigrant neighbors bring to Boise:


  • Guest Chef Najlaa has created a special Syrian ice cream flavor at The STIL, available at the Downtown and Latah locations:
    • "My Father's Favorite Breakfast" featuring halva, coffee, smoked salt and pistachios
    • Check out this great Q&A with Najlaa by Boise Weekly.​
  • Grab lunch or dinner at one of the refugee- and immigrant-owned restaurants below. We'll upload chef bios, recommended dishes, and food and cultural details as we get closer to the week.
  • Kick off the week by participating in our Chilean Cross-Culinary Kit & Class!

They do so through the cultivation, harvest, cooking, eating, and sales of fresh, healthy produce. Global Gardens connects the food needs of diverse families with resources to grow and market food.
