Dear guests and friends,

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 the most cherished Lebanese traditions in our family. For that very reason perhaps, our establishment has acquired a solid reputation since its foundation in 1980.

We hope that you will appreciate our way of welcoming you as much as our cuisine. To us, indeed, a satisfied guest rapidly becomes a friend!

Should Lebanese wines be a mystery to you, why don’t you a have 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 these borders!

May we remind you that we are also Caterers in fine Lebanese food and, as such, we offer 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:

T The Tazka, an interesting and economical way of discovering authentic Lebanese food

T The Mezze, a most generous Full course Menu

T A la Carte fit to satisfy the most demanding and knowledgeable clientele
