Description

The Arabesque’s attractive decor of gold mosaics, white leather and black lacquerware conjures up pictures of the mysterious Orient, in particular Lebanon. It provides the perfect foil for a pedigree Mediterranean lineup, including hot and cold mezzes and Kibbeh Labanieh, the chef’s signature dish of meatballs, and Samak mechoui, grilled seabass with a sesame sauce. Excellent range of vegetarian dishes.
