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!

Le repas était correcte & le restaurant était très beau. Cependant, le service n'était pas agréable. 6 personnes différentes ont effectuées du service à notre table pendant le repas de 2h. Cela amenait de la confusion quant à qui faire les requêtes. De plus, même si chacune de ces personnes étaient cordiales, le service était moins personnalisé. Finalement, les mesures sanitaires n'étaient pas respectées. La table où nous trouvions initialement était si proche des autres à côté que nos coudes se touchaient presque. J'ai demandé d'être relocalisé, ce qui a été fait.

Despite the spin on Lebanese food, the taste is authentic. Great presentation & lovely cocktails. A bit too much pricey.
