Cooking under Chef Hassan Younis

Head chef Hassan Younis leads the kitchen. The team describes his cooking as Lebanese tradition with a modern touch, built on quality ingredients and careful technique. The menu aims for dishes that feel comforting and considered at once.

Mezze, slow-cooked lamb and the terrace

Gault&Millau praises classic, well-executed Lebanese cooking, from traditional hot and cold mezze to grilled and slow-cooked meats. The lamb is cooked sous-vide for 24 hours and served with garlic and onion yoghurt cream and fragrant rice. The terrace overlooks the Red Sea and the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, and the Michelin Guide listed the restaurant as a 2026 Selected Restaurant.
