Mid-Atlantic Roadshow Spotlight: Dōgon, Washington, D.C.

Posted on | by Joe Mo | Leave a Comment on Mid-Atlantic Roadshow Spotlight: Dōgon, Washington, D.C.

We are back on the road heading to the Mid-Atlantic region this month!

For our first stop you will find us at the iconic Salamander Washington, D.C. for a luxury showcase and what should be a delicious luncheon at the highly-touted Afro-Caribbean restaurant, Dōgon by Chef Kwame Onwuachi. We understand this is the hottest reservation in town right now, and we have a seat at the table if you want to join us!


To honor the date Washington, D.C. was officially named back in 1791, Dōgon opened in 2024 on September 9th, as part of its commitment to highlight the district, its history and culture.

Chef Kwame Onwuachi is known for pushing boundaries but at his new D.C. restaurant he honors boundaries and the West African lineage that helped draw the borders of the District of Columbia. He created a restaurant with a concept inspired by D.C. Surveyor Benjamin Banneker and his heritage to the West African Dogon tribe.


Stepping into a dramatic atmosphere where Kriskadecor metal chain curtains welcome you at the entrance, referencing Benjamin Banneker’s Gunter’s Chains – a device he used to measure the boundaries of our nation’s capital.


Pronounced “Doh-gon”, the restaurant serves vibrant cuisine with an Afro-Caribbean flare. The restaurant has become a must-have reservation, sitting along the revitalized Southwest waterfront in Salamander Washington D.C.

“I firmly believe that a restaurant should have a story, because when it has a story, it has a soul.” – Chef Kwame Onwuachi

Come join us on Tuesday, May 20th at from Dōgon at Salamander 10 am – 2 pm. Come meet with our Destination Partners and stay and continue the conversation at lunch. As we say, come for business, leave as family.


Registration is open now on our website and our events are free for meeting and event professionals to attend – www.retreatsresources.com

We look forward to welcoming you to this red hot D.C. venue and the first stop on the Mid-Atlantic Roadshow!
