More than a meal, Dine on a Mat is a storytelling dining experience rooted in Chef Fatmata Binta’s Fulani heritage. Guests are invited to sit on traditional mats, eat with their hands, and connect over thoughtfully prepared, plant-forward dishes inspired by the nomadic Fulani way of life.
Chef Fatmata Binta, born in Freetown, Sierra Leone to a Fulani family of Guinean descent, draws from her nomadic roots to craft a culinary philosophy grounded in sustainability, storytelling, and cultural preservation. Raised in the Fulani traditions, she transforms food into a tool for empowerment, resilience, and global connection.
Central to her work is fonio, an ancient West African grain celebrated for its nutrition and climate resilience. Through the Fulani Kitchen Foundation (launched in 2020), she partners with women farmers in Northern Ghana to improve fonio production, enhance processing, and expand market access—preserving indigenous food systems while creating sustainable livelihoods.
Nomadic Fulani dining is all about bringing people together and breaking bread in a community-style setting
