“Lebanese food culture” is a strange phrase, but the term makes perfect sense if you’ve ever been to Lebanon. Lebanese food — the choice of ingredients, the way it’s presented, and the order in which it’s served — is a significant and vital part of Lebanese culture. Lebanon located on the west coast just above Israel and below Syria. The population is just over 6.8 million, with over a third based in the capital city of Beirut. Incredibly, the country recognizes at least 18 different religions, all with their own community, culture, and cuisine. Over the years, many dishes have been borrowed and adapted by neighboring communities, resulting in the rich Lebanese food culture that we enjoy today. Take a seat and enjoy a complimentary glass of arak as we serve you a traditional slice of Lebanese food culture. BTW, it’s considered a great insult to refuse food offered by a Lebanese household, so we hope you brought your appetite!
