About

If you’re fortunate enough to have experienced a meal in the Middle East, you know all about their warmth, ambiance and extravagance. Whether it’s on a terrace accompanied by an afternoon tea, or sipping Arak in the evening, the “joie de vivre” can’t be missed.

Having successfully recreated the magic, our chef Joe Awad and his team have put together a menu featuring traditional flavours reimagined with a modern flare.

Our friendly and attentive staff will make you feel as though you’ve walked through the fabric of time to the other side of the world. Prepare your tastebuds, they’re in for an amazing experience!

Très déçu de mon serveur hier Rouhid. Je l'avais déjà eu au bar & il donnait un excellent service. Hier, jvai l impression qu il n avait pas envie de travailler. Pas de sourire. Pas d enthousiaste. Il fait son travail sans plus. Paa digne de votre restaurant.

Shay was our favorite dinner in Montreal! The food was outstanding - so rich with flavor & well prepared. Our server Ethan took it next level - his recommendations were spot on & we sincerely appreciated his guidance. Cannot wait to recommend it to others & to return in the future! What a wonderful restaurant you have created.

Repas délicieux dans une ambiance festive & raffinée. Idéal pour une sortie entre amis. Nourriture méditerranéenne style libanaise (mezza, salades, grillades).
