Al Mankal-Cuisine Lebanese

Dine à la Lebanese in elegant surroundings, perhaps with a view of the Eiffel Tower.

Antoine selected a 2013 Lebanese red from Clos de Cana (Cabernet sauvignon, grenache, syrah, censault)-a bad year in Bordeaux (too much rain) but in sun-filled Lebanon, no problem. We allowed him to select a mezza that included hummous, fromage blanc with basil, keftah and crunchy, tart, taboulleh.

Everything was freshly made and we had an endless supply of pita for dipping and filling-everything we expected and more.

This is a restaurant that provokes sharing so we asked Antoine to prepare a mixed grill of lamb, chicken and kefta.

And, of course, a sweet dessert and mint tea.

No one should have a bad meal in Paris! Whether a 2-star restaurant or a local bistro there should always be an excellent rapport qualité prix– relationship between price and quality. At my favorites you will be treated as a regular and have a satisfying experience. Just tell them  “Terrance sent you.”
