Gift certificate for $50 to Emma's Torch.

Our restaurant serves seasonal New American cuisine - prepared by our new American students.

Emma's Torch is a non-profit social enterprise that focuses on refugee empowerment through culinary education. We provide refugees with culinary training, ESL classes and interview preparation. We set them up for successful employment in an industry in which their cultural heritage and cuisine can be celebrated. What’s more, we provide a community in which they can build supportive relationships. Our flagship restaurant on Smith Street features a seasonally curated menu that reflects our student's learning and our vibrant community. Come by for brunch or dinner!

“Emma’s Torch personifies what’s great about this country and what’s great about giving back and allowing people to find hope and prosperity in the greatest country alive."
— Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams
