Why is this place so expensive?? It's an OK restaurant in an arguably undesirable part of town…read more Yet we find ourselves here when we want to have lunch "under the sun," as if Saveurs du Liban has some sort of proprietary rights to the sun that we can't get elsewhere. The plat du jour is about CHF19, which usually gets you a generic salad and a passable main dish. The plat du jour on our first visit was two approximately 2 inch ground beef medallions in passable tomato-based sauce and rice, and on our second visit four small meatballs in some sort of passable almond-based sauce and rice. If you haven't noticed, there's a common theme here. Everything is simply "passable," and just slightly too expensive to feel like I've gotten my money's worth. The mezze platter which is usually CHF38 is CHF22 during lunch, which is, again, a "passable" bargain for a "passable" platter. Rather than thinking CHF22 is a great discount, though, I couldn't help wondering why on earth I would normally pay CHF38 for what looked like a plate of food, comprised mostly of dips (such has hummus on yogurt) from a "passable" middle eastern buffet. Oh, and you can smoke hookah in the outside terrace for CHF35. CHF35 for hookah at a mediocre restaurant, in my opinion, is NOT passable.

Oh wow that sucked! I came in because there were so many Arabic customers outside and I assumed…read morethey must know the food is good. I didn't have reception to check the reviews so I saw the rating only after I had ordered. My salad and main course were served at the same time. Only fast food places do that, I assume, since I don't eat fast food. My pita breads were leathery and cold served in a nylon bag. What's the point of the nylon? I asked for warm ones and they brought me another cold leathery batch in another nylon. The hugely overpriced salad was soaked in oil. My "Lebanese sampler" dish was all cold (despite supposedly having some warm bits) and was half hummus type stuff. I had asked if there were greens (or I wouldn't have ordered the salad) and they said no, but yeah there were. I barely ate half I said I wanted a piece of meat and was considering ordering one and they just cut me off that they serve them in 4. Horrible. Couldn't have offered me one. Don't go to this place. Absolute rip off of fast food (as I imagine fast food)

C'est ici que la famille Gharbi accueille tant le monde des affaires que les familles en promenade. En cuisine, la jeune chef Maria Gharbi, diplômée de l'Institut Paul Bocuse, s'active à la préparation du buffet quotidien, des spécialités syriennes qu'elle cuisine dans la tradition familiale, des desserts dans lesquelles elle excelle. La proximité de l'eau, l'ambiance " sauvage " du lieu se traduisent aussi dans les assiettes avec les grenouilles fraîches en persillade et de la petites friture. Peu de temps pour le repos, d'autant plus que le restaurant ouvre ses portes 7jours sur 7. Heureusement la passion est là ! En salle s'activent son frère Nicolas, sa soeur Eugénie et sa Maman pour que chacun passe le meilleur moment.
