Afro-European cuisine: the story behind Deby's Delice's signature

How Deborah Libande Dole crafted a cuisine that unites her two heritages — and why plantain is the hero.

Afro-European signature dish with plantain and fresh herbs

Afro-European cuisine is neither a gimmick fusion nor a compromise. It's a culinary grammar in its own right, born from Deborah Libande Dole's journey — Brussels, Kinshasa, and back.

Plantain, the silent hero

Plantain is the potato of Central Africa. Fried, mashed, gratin or lasagna: it underpins 30 % of our menu. Our plantain lasagna has become iconic with corporate clients.

Three signature principles

  • P.A.R.I.S.: Precision, Authenticity, Refinement, Inclusion, Signature — our quality charter.
  • Local sourcing when possible, direct import when needed (spices, cassava flour).
  • Always a halal variant, always a vegan variant — no surcharge, no culinary ghetto.

Three dishes to try first

  • The plantain mini-burger (our top cocktail seller).
  • The plantain lasagna (corporate main).
  • The mango-passion verrines (signature dessert).

Why it works for events

Wedding or seminar guests don't want to be lost — but they want to be surprised. Our cuisine plays exactly that thread: recognisable flavours, premium execution, an unforgettable signature.
