BREAK
OUT OF THE SAME OLD, SAME OLD
In a slump of burger and fries, pizza and Chinese
food? Taste buds craving something out of the ordinary? World Flavors
on Willamette may be the solution. As its name implies, World Flavors
boasts cuisine from all over the world, hitting four continents in
the process: Europe, North America, Asia and Africa. Founding partners
Alexandra Sianis and Eliman Gibba bring flavors of their heritage
(Greek and Italian, and African, respectively), love for cooking and
family recipes to share with the Eugene community.
The newest World Flavors location opened on December
26, but the name may sound familiar to UO students. For the last two
years, a smaller version of World Flavors has operated in the EMU
food court at UO every Monday and alternating Fridays throughout the
school year.
With a variety of dishes spanning the globe, what's
the must-try, to-die-for dish? A vegetarian stew with potatoes, onions
and carrots in a rich peanut sauce served over rice called African
Mafe (pronounced ma-fay). This'll get you through Hump Day with ease
— it's currently only served on Wednesdays and for special occasions.
World Flavors hopes "to be a warm and inviting place
for the community to meet, eat, drink and enjoy a comfortable, good
vibe atmosphere." It's also a must for late night, rut-breaking munchies
after the bars close, as the restaurant is open until 4 am on weekends.
