SOUL KITCHEN

Soul Kitchen is Toronto’s world-renowned R&B and Soul-infused music experience, originally founded in 2003 by cultural curator and creative entrepreneur Ian Andre Espinet. Recognized as one of the first events of its kind in Canada—and globally—Soul Kitchen pioneered the genre of R&B-focused nightlife, setting a new standard for musically intentional, adult-centered experiences.

For over 20 years, Soul Kitchen has celebrated the full spectrum of rhythm & blues—from classic and neo-soul to hip hop soul, new jack swing, deep album cuts, and slow jams. With a dedicated following built on intimacy, authenticity, and musical integrity, Soul Kitchen isn’t just an event—it’s a cultural institution for those who truly love the music.

Featuring an expertly curated soundtrack by legendary DJs and hosted with care and intention, The Soul Kitchen experience has cemented its place as THE definitive R&B experience.

Music for the Soul. You do the dishes.
