Once-a-month Lebanese Nights,
During our once-a-month Lebanese Nights, each passing of our shared plates and the breaking of fresh Lebanese pita opens a new conversation.
It’ll certainly make your tastebuds swoon, but our Mediterranean food also promises a flavour journey that transports you to the very heart of a bustling medina in the Middle East.
Whether part of a party of one hundred and fifty or a party of two, your experience throughout our elegant, yet comfortable space is eventful. We are sharing our long-held Canadian experience with our Lebanese-Mediterranean traditions infused with a modern contemporary twist. You will feel both close to home and a part of something new.
