Là où le petit-déjeuner devient brunch en quelques suggestions de la part du personnel.
Endroit jolie & on se sent transporté au Liban. La nourriture est excellente & prix très raisonnable. Le propriétaire s'assure que chaque table manque de rien & cela se fait ressentir & fait toute la différence. Il a été très gentil en nous proposant un dessert car c'était nôtre première visite. Ce n'est probablement pas ma dernière fois. Je conseil fortement.
We had a wonderful Lebanese breakfast here. The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared, but what really stood out was how well they took care of us-attentive, kind, & genuinely welcoming service. The live music added such a special touch & created a relaxed, joyful atmosphere. The ambience was cozy & vibrant at the same time, making it the perfect place to enjoy a slow breakfast. Highly recommend for both the food & the experience.

What an amazing travel to the roots of the Lebanese culture!
The food AMAZING, the service EXCEPTIONAL.
The music in the background is just like I used to remember my mom singing when I was young.
It's definitely one of my favorite places to go to breakfast/brunch.
Super yummy food! I tried several dishes & honestly, no complaints at all. Big portions, full of flavor. The owner is so kind & always smiling, making sure everyone is happy. Service was super fast, the ambiance is beautiful.Perfect place for families & it truly reminded me of Lebanon 🤍🇱🇧
Took my family there. It's overrated & the place is jammed with chairs & table tops. Owner running the show & not professional. Staff undertrained & food takes long to arrive. Price is not reasonable at all. Food tastes normal in fact it's not special. My wife cooks better & tastes better.
Not going there again.
