Chef Folafela
Trained under Yannick Alléno in Paris and Kwame Onwuachi in New York, Chef Adebayo returned to Lagos in 2018 to open FolaFela — a house dedicated to the belief that Nigerian cuisine deserves a seat at the world's most serious tables.
"Nigerian food is not a trend. It is a two-thousand-year archive. We are only its custodians."
— Chef Folafela, Executive Chef & Founder
