Food
Lebanese hospitality is expressed by the offering of a variety of foods. The gesture is accepted and reciprocated by indulging.
Mezze - derived from the word “miz” (which means to taste,) is usually served as an array of sumptuous, individually hand prepared starters with contrasting flavour and texture. These delicacies are served buffet style to the centre of the table and eaten with bread or fresh vegetables from the Jacht Ghodra (a platter of fresh seasonal vegetables) a healthier, lighter option.
It is regarded as proper to eat with your hands…tearing a piece of bread or vegetable, either placing it on the desired item and pinching between your fingers or elegantly dipping it-making sure your hands are kept clean.
Main course is then served - either plated or pattered for guest to share. Smoking of the Argileh (Middle Eastern Hubbly Bubbly) is customary as well as the performance by writhing Belly Dancers, where tipping of the dancer is a sign of enjoyment!
Dessert is the most important custom accompanied with coffee or mint tea showing that one is satisfied with the hospitality.
When it comes to Lebanese dining, we believe that food and drink should be expertly combined with a distinct attention to finer details.. thus transforming an everyday humdrum, into an Enchanting Occasion.
Our acclimatised cellar has been lavishly stocked with wines surpassing the expected standard in tastings and food pairings. These are then lovingly nurtured for that extra special occasion when you come to call on them to elevate your feasting experience to unsurpassable levels.
