Cafe Aion is 15!
On January 1st 2010 we took over the old Burnt Toast Space on the ground floor of the historic 1235 Pennsylvania building. We began the process of transforming it into our vision of what a great neighborhood RESTAURANT could be. Opening our doors to guests on april 2nd with a limited tapas menu and curated drink list we set out on a wild 15 year journey!
Over the next year we will be sharing lots of images, thoughts and maybe a few recipes as we reflect on 15 years on The Hill. Give us a follow on Facebook and/or Instagram and join in.
Our mission:
Opening our doors in 2010 we sought to bring something new to the University Hill Neighborhood. Taking our inspiration from the bistros and restaurants of Spain and France we aim to provide a comfortable ambiance paired with flavorful, comforting dishes made with care. Over the years we have become the go to spot for a leisurely workday lunch, happy-hour celebration, a place to grab a pre-theater dinner or linger with a lover.
We look forward to welcoming you in!
Dakota Soifer - Chef/Owner- Drawing upon years of experience working in nationally acclaimed restaurants such as Zuni Café, Julia’s Kitchen, and The Kitchen Café—and a summer with Meadow Lark Farm Dinners—Dakota’s menus and cuisine reflect a philosophy of crafting the best quality food into simple, soulful bites. Dakota combines a respect for and knowledge of high quality ingredients with a rare talent to craft them into immensely satisfying dishes. He doesn’t rely on tricks to impress his guests; just experience, expertise, and an understanding of the finest local products. Although concise, his menu of small plates is thoughtfully put together in a way that accommodates all tastes. And with a menu that changes daily to reflect what is seasonal, available and fresh, an incentive to try something new is ever present.
-Dakota also won the popular cooking show Cutthroat Kitchen in season 4.
