Le Voltaire French Restaurant/House of Bah Foundation

House of Bah Foundation, an Omaha-based JPF Grantee that prepares immigrant/refugee students for culturally-affirming culinary careers, is delighted to celebrate Chef Pepin’s 90th birthday with a special prix fixe menu inspired by Chef Pepin’s recipes. Led by Executive Director and Chef Djibril Djamil Bah-Traore, House of Bah Foundation works to ensure all people and their cuisines are positively represented in our communities.

This special 90/90 event will take place at Le Voltaire French Restaurant, opened by Cedric Fichepain, a French chef who immigrated to Omaha in 2001. Le Voltaire is well-established as the city’s most authentic and finest French restaurant. Today, it’s owned and operated by Chef Wilson Calixte, originally from Haiti. Alongside House of Bah Foundation’s Chef Djibril Djamil Bah-Traore, these chefs are committed to inspiring people to explore, honor, and uplift their culinary heritages through experiential learning, including by providing House of Bah Foundation’s students with paid, culturally-affirming jobs.
