We’re proud to celebrate Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science graduate Zoya de Frias Lakhany. As co-founder of Restaurant Le Virunga, Zoya has applied the problem-solving and systems-thinking skills she developed in computer science to help grow a restaurant that blends African culinary traditions with Quebec ingredients and hospitality.

That vision is earning international recognition: Le Virunga was recently included in the Michelin Guide Québec 2026 selection.

Du secteur des technologies à celui de l’hôtellerie-restauration, le parcours de Zoya illustre avec force comment les diplômés de Concordia ont un impact dans une multitude de domaines — et redéfinissent l’innovation.
