Me Lon Togo

At last! We are SO very excited to share this menu with you. The menu is available Thursday, 2/15 thru Sunday, 2/18.

We have four brand-new entrées featuring some reimagined traditional West African dishes and some entirely new concepts we’re excited for you to try.

Don’t forget, we have a special selection of bottles from the vault that we’re bringing out to share with you guys! The wine is included with dinner.

This year, we wanted to place an emphasis on our Togolese heritage, like with our dessert, the Togolese Banana Fritter.
(Storytime!) Jordan’s mom used to make these fritters among other concessions to sell to the local workers during their breaks. And as many of you know, Jordan’s main inspiration is his Mom, Nadu. Growing up, he helped his mom prepare and sell the food and thus began his culinary journey.

The tradition continues with Jordan’s daughter, Olivia, who similarly took interest in cooking through watching him cook and host dinner parties, ultimately leading to the opening of Mé Lon Togo.

Who in your life inspires you? Comment below and show them some love!❤️

We hope you join us this Valentine’s Day Weekend!

Hi everyone, we wish we had better news, however, upon inspection of our Searsport location, (which we're getting ready for some exciting things, TBA...), we found that someone has removed well over a chord of wood without permission. Not only was the wood itself expensive, we paid $$$ to have it split. If anyone knows anything about the removal of wood at 375 E. Main St., Searsport, please send us a private message, but feel free to share this post, as we would appreciate your help getting the word out. Thank you! We hope you all stay warm and safe as the storm approaches!
