A Note From the Chefs

Blue Llama Jazz Club and Restaurant's Afro-Caribbean menu aligns with the soulful music performed on stage every night. These family style dishes are curated to complement each other and be experienced as a group. This creates harmony between the food and live music for a cohesive experience that reflects the deep history of jazz music and the people of the West African Diaspora.
