Elmina is honored to be named a 2026 Finalist for Best New Restaurant for The 44th RAMMYS Awards & Gala!
This nomination reflects the passion, dedication, and tireless work of our incredible team, as well as the support of our guests and neighbors who have embraced us throughout our first year.
We’re proud to celebrate @chefericadjepong on his nomination for the 2026 James Beard Foundation Book Award in the International category. This recognition speaks to the heart of his work in “Ghana to the World”, honoring the recipes, stories, and heritage that travel from Ghana and reach tables around the world.
At Elmina, this reflects the culture, history, and flavors we’re proud to carry forward in every service, every night.
