Aromas Cafe is a Charlottesville establishment. Chef Hassan Kaisoum blends his classical French training with a Moroccan upbringing and travels throughout the Mediterranean in order to produce cuisine that is unique, vibrant, and always fresh.

20 years ago, Hassan Kaisoum opened the doors in his new hometown of Charlottesville. Although he has owned restaurants across the globe, he was surprised at how warm the embrace of the local community was from the get go. From the day it opened until now, Hassan makes sure every dish is prepared with the care and quality his customers have come to love.
