The popular Afro-Latin soul food restaurant in Belltown, Lenox , has been named to the Bon Appétit 20 Best New Restaurants of 2025.

Led by head chef and owner Johnny Reyes, Lenox opened in June 2024 at 2510 1st Avenue in Seattle.

“Lenox tells a story that begins in the kitchens of Puerto Rico and Cuba, passes through the stoops and bodegas of Harlem, and now has a home in Seattle’s Belltown,” the restaurant stated. “It is a story of heritage and migration, of memory and imagination, brought to life by Chef Jhonny Reyes.”
