I believe that the physical food is just a vehicle for the invisible energy that is transferred by those doing the cooking. the same way our bodies are also a vehicle for something invisible.
this is why at ALLWOOD the “spirit” is the most important ingredient in the kitchen.

About Café Allwood
Café Allwood is a space where creativity, community, and nourishment come together to create something truly unique. With 39 years of history rooted in fashion, Café Allwood is the next evolution of a legacy built on artistry, sustainability, and a passion for meaningful design.
Our story began in the world of high fashion, with collections that graced some of the most celebrated stores in North America, including Montreal’s iconic Ogilvy. For decades, we blended innovation with craftsmanship, redefining the relationship between ethics and style. This commitment to excellence and purpose continues to guide everything we do today.
At Café Allwood, we honor the belief that food is medicine. Drawing from Ital traditions and designed to nourish the body’s micro-biome, our plant-based menu is crafted with care and intention. Every dish is a reflection of our dedication to holistic health and the connection between food, vitality, and community.
But our vision extends far beyond the plate. Inspired by the teachings of Emperor Haile Selassie and his call for unity, Café Allwood is rooted in the dream of building a better world. We aim to foster a positive community where everyone is welcome and where the seeds of compassion and resilience can grow. Our greater mission includes dreams of creating schools and orphanages in Jamaica, providing a foundation of hope for future generations.
Café Allwood is more than a café—it’s a movement to nourish the mind, body, and soul, and to create a legacy of creativity, connection, and unity.
