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!

Bons cocktails, service très professionnel quoiqu'un peu rushé car la table nous est allouée pour un maximum de 2 heures. Par contre on nous a offert une belle alternative pour continuer de profiter de notre soirée au bar. Les plats étaient très goûteux. Merci à Velentine, Mauricio & Alizée pour leur acceuil chaleureux & leur courtoisie.

We went for a family brunch in Sunday morning. The menu was amazing! It has this little something that will suit anyone taste. Light heavy salty sweet, or a bit of everything & you share ... For sure you will find one or many things that please you. The presentations & taste, wow.

The only thing to improve perhaps would be to have a warmer greeting as we step in the restaurant.
