Tasty, refined and varied, Lebanese cuisine is rich in essence, but also highly influenced by neighboring cultures, such as Greek, Turkish and Syrian. In the plates of Parisian Lebanese restaurants, vegetables take pride of place, offering a bevy of colors, textures and shimmering flavors. But let's not forget the fine meats and fish, topped with a healthy dose of fresh herbs and spices to enhance the dishes, and the sauces in which fresh, healthy ingredients are happily dipped.
If you, too, fancy a good chicken or lamb chawarma, a host of colorful and tasty mezes to share with your guests, a gourmet chickpea-based hummus topped with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh herbs, or a delicious mouhalabieh with pistachio and orange blossom to end your feast on a sweet note, then this guide is for you!
To make sure you're on the right track for your Lebanese feast, with family or friends, check out these great Lebanese restaurants to try without delay. Get your Levantine fix!
