A Clinton Hill neighborhood institution for 15 years, Hill Café began as Kush Café, offering French-inspired cuisine with African diaspora influences of the Motherland, the Caribbean, South America, and the U.S. Hill Café chef and owner Samuel Beket was born and raised on the Ivory Coast. He is a French-trained chef, and opened Hill Café.
With the restaurant’s welcoming bar, cozy bistro tables and lush back-of-house dining area and relaxing garden, Hill Café has been a loved destination for happy hour, dates, and family celebrations for many years. For Chef Beket, food is the essence of life, which marks the milestone occasions of our lives, and he has been honored to serve up creative, delicious dishes to a steady clientele over the years.
On his new menu, Chef Beket invites you to explore the African diaspora through food, as he melds bold and exotic flavors from various vegetables, fruits, grains, oils and spices.
