Bou

Papiamentu for “under” / “down” — the roots beneath the surface.

Bou is an 18-seat table built around Intra-Americas cuisine — the throughlines connecting the Caribbean, Latin America, and the diasporas that shaped both. One seating. One menu. Nothing rushed.

  • New menu four times a year

Why the waitlist

Bou hasn't opened its doors yet. Joining the waitlist doesn't book a seat or charge you anything — it puts you first in line when dates are released, and means you hear about the menu, the room, and the story before anyone else does.

No payment required. We'll reach out directly once seatings are confirmed.

Under the surface of everything YENA does, this is where it started. Bou is that, at the table.
