Global Café: A Taste of the World & Community Spirit – As Seen in Memphis Magazine

Global Café, located in Crosstown Concourse, is a restaurant with a mission to empower immigrants and refugees. Step inside and embark on a global culinary adventure. Global’s menu features dishes from Venezuela, Somalia, Colombia, Sudan, Mexico, and the Middle East. Craving street tacos? They’ve got you covered. Feeling adventurous? Try their African peanut soup.

Juan Viramontes, the manager of Global Café, has talents that extend beyond the kitchen and business management. He’s also a master mixologist, crafting unique cocktails that reflect the international spirit of the restaurant. Sip on a refreshing “Syrian Sangria,” a vibrant “Sudanese Sundance,” or a classic with a twist, the “Mexican Mule.” But the star of the show might just be the “Mangorita,” the most Instagrammable cocktail in Memphis (and possibly the largest!). This masterpiece features a whole mango transformed into a flower, perched atop a 20-ounce glass filled with Viramontes’ signature margarita. It’s a feast for the eyes and the taste buds!
