EU BUSINESS NEWS / 2019 German Business Awards 19 , Kultur Restaurant Savanne Inh. Best African Restaurant 2019: Kultur Restaurant Savanne Inh. Nov19004 Some may see bridges as purely physical structures that connect two places together. Perhaps over a stretch of water, or a road, these bridges are almost always built by people, for people. Building a very different type of bridge is Yordanos and Ghirmay Habton, owners of the Restaurant Savanne. Discover how they are bridging together German culture with African food to create an award-winning eatery that is a home for all people. Born and raised in Eritrea, both Yordanos and Ghirmay fled their home country during the early 1980s to avoid violence and war. Now, almost forty years on, the married couple remember their home fondly through the means of their beloved Restaurant Savanne. A slice of Eritrea in the heart of Lich near Frankfurt, the restaurant is more than just a fitting testament to the beauty and flavour of African food; it is a beautiful representation of Yordanos and Ghirmay’s love for their homeland. First opening its doors in Frankfurt over twenty years ago in 1998, Restaurant Savanne has since remained a family business. Not only a place for fantastic food, it serves as a home for people. A crossroads where people from the most diverse cultures can come together in a celebration of African music, food and drink. A bridge between peoples and nations. A piece of Africa standing proudly in the heart of Lich’s historic old town. A very different kind of bridge, but one perhaps most important in the world today, Restaurant Savanne is the perfect way of bringing together peoples of all cultures in a celebration of the vibrancy and vivacity of African life. Showcasing the very best of Eritrean food and drink whilst offering guests a warm and welcoming atmosphere in which they can relax, Yordanos and Ghirmay have created an outstanding eatery that is both an excellent business, and shining example of human connection.
