Sundays Around the World

Every Sunday from 11.30 AM to 2.00 PM, accompanied by Artistry of Good’s carefully curated world music, we set off on a delightful journey across different cultures—both for the ears and the palate. Winter-friendly rhythms, familiar and faraway flavors rising from the kitchen, and Voyn’s long, leisurely Sunday table come together to create the most enjoyable pause of the week. From breakfast to coffee, from world cuisine to music, we slow Sundays down and turn them into a small, comforting ritual. Curated by Artistry of Good
