Dear web surfers and friends,
Greetings to this little Lebanese corner in
Québec!
The food you are being offered here is prepared with care and follows
our family’s most cherished Lebanese traditions. For that very reason perhaps
our establishment has acquired a solid reputation since its foundation in
1980.
We hope that you will find our welcome at par with our cuisine’s
reputation, for to us, a satisfied guest becomes rapidly A
FRIEND.
Should Lebanese wines be a mystery to you, may we suggest that you
have a look at our List of Wines. You may be tempted to
try one of them and, like many others, be convinced that they are the best kept
secret within our Canadian borders!
As a final introduction, please take note that Restaurant Aux Lilas is also a caterer
in fine Lebanese food and that you get a 10% discount on all take-out food (except on Group Menus).
In this Menu, you are offered three ways of getting acquainted with
our cuisine:
v
The Tazka, an interesting and economical way of
discovering authentic
Lebanese food;
v
The Mezze, a most generous full course Menu;
v
The À la Carte, fit to satisfy the most demanding and knowledgeable
clientele.
