The Conflict Cafe returns to the capital

Other | Tuesday 8th September 2015 | Christina

Conflict Café returns for a second year from Sept 9th to Oct 3rd.

The pop-up project, organised by peace-building charity International Alert, aims to raise money for international peace-building activities by introducing Londoners to cuisines of various conflict zones across the globe. Conflict Café is all about “harnessing the power of food to get people together, breaking bread, and starting a conversation.”

Charlotte Onslow, who works for International Alert said, “We want to make sure you don’t talk only to the person you came with, so we have long tables and materials on them that generate questions; there will be specialists who explain a bot more about the conflicts.”

The café, based in the arches of Waterloo station, will serve different traditional food each week, kicking off with the flavours of Syria, cooked by Damascene chef Haitham Yassin. Diners will then get to experience food from the Middle East, Nepal, Colombia, and Armenia and Turkey, where an Armenian and Turkish chef will cook together.
