Continent Restaurant & Cigar Lounge

After departing 5Church in Midtown, chef Scotley Innis opened this Afro-Caribbean restaurant and cigar lounge in 2021. Inspired by his travels and love for the diaspora of African cuisine,ÊContinentÊprovides Innis the opportunity to showcase his global vision for food from these regions at his own restaurant, and on his own terms. Dishes range from starters like Yardman oysters (similar to oysters Rockefeller) layered with the leafy Jamaican vegetable callaloo, duck bacon, garlic butter, and parmesan cheese to oxtail lo mein and fried whole snapper atop a creamy red coconut sauce served with a side of Szechuan-style vegetables. ContinentÕs cigar lounge is where to relax and indulge in cigars and cocktails or Macallan scotch flights and rare spirits, like the pricey Remy Martin Louis XIII cognac, while dining on small plates.ÊReservations highly encouraged.Ê
