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 beau restaurant avec un menu délicieux! Les portions sont surprenamment assez généreuses. Belle ambiance & la serveuse a su nous recommander d'excellents plats pour notre première visite. Un peu dispendieux, donc à réserver pour les occasions spéciales. Je n'ai pas encore essayé le brunch, mais c'est sur ma liste.
