Home Kitchen is a restaurant that helps homeless people or those at risk of becoming homeless by providing them with food, accommodation, and employment. It offers them the opportunity to gain experience as skilled staff in fine dining and provides a starting point for them to reintegrate into society and find their own path.
It's truly remarkable! Both the concept and the fact that it’s being put into practice are impressive. The past experiences of employees who were once homeless are openly shared with customers, who in turn offer their support, creating a shared experience of what it means to live together in this process.
Although the atmosphere can be a bit hectic due to the unfamiliarity of the staff and system, the hopeful energy from the employees, and the supportive energy from the customers who either came knowing about the mission or learned about it there, combine to create something beyond a simple restaurant.
It's a very special place where you get to experience delicious food and wine as a bonus!
It’s a night that leaves me feeling both happy and thoughtful.
