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!

We had a reservation for 8 people for the brunch. The food was ok but I didn't really like my choice ( La Merguez). The cocktails menu is simple & pretty basic but tasty.
The problem is that although we had the table for 2 hours, 30 minutes before they were already telling that there was another group coming & the waiters were constantly around our table after that so we didn't really appreciate that constant pressure.

Merci pour la belle soirée. La nourriture était excellente & j'ai pu me délectée sans crainte car Jo, le cuisinier s'est très bien occupé de mes intolérances.

J'ai fait découvrir la cuisine libanaise è ma famille.

Merci encore
