I cannot even express to you how incredible Alyssaar is. You really just need to go to experience…read moreit. All my other dining experiences in France (and probably even in America) pale in comparison. By "Mediterranean," Yelp means to say "Syrian." I had never had Syrian food before, but after my trip to France, I had had it twice (both times at Alyssaar) and enjoyed both times immensely. My five friends and I came to Alyssaar after seeing that it had good reviews on Yelp, but we couldn't possibly have expected how attached we would get after just one trip. We were first greeted at the door by Abboud, the one man serving tables who was genuinely excited to meet us. One couldn't possibly fake his friendliness and hospitality. He is absolutely a pleasure (très charmant!) and went out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable, despite having only learned English from movies. He started out by explaining to us that this meal would be an experience of discovery, which it most certainly was in the most enjoyable way possible. Everything I tried here was incredible. I suggest coming with a friend (or a large group of friends) and ordering one of the fixed-price menus, because you'll be able to share with each other. Abboud paired our group up and taught each pair what order we should share our appetizers in to maximize the pleasure in our meals. Each appetizer was wonderfully flavorful. All the main courses we tried were phenomenal, but the one that especially stood out to me was the "boeuf à la cerise" (beef cooked in a cherry sauce, wrapped with herbs--subtle flavor, just the right amount of sweet and tart and savory). But really, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. It's perfect. Same with the desserts, although if you want to try something you've never had (and probably never will again), try the Syrian cheese dish--it's this lovely, soft cheese served with cream and a sweet sauce. Amazing. The baklawa also puts all other baklava I've ever had to shame. After dinner, try the house digestif--again, absolutely lovely. Expect to spend three hours here and to enjoy every second of it! I certainly did.

If you order the "sandwich," you'll get falafel, hummus, the "falafel sauce" (which I think was tahini-based but I'll ask next time,) fresh tomato, fresh mint, and pickles on Lebanese bread. It costs 4,50€ and is quite filling and very tasty! The owner is super friendly too and he knows English, which is a bonus for me! He gave me a stuffed grape leaf to try while he was making my falafel (that's right - he was making it fresh right there!!) and that was tasty too. It was fresh and crisp, not like the ones you buy at the store that are a soggy mess. The truck is parked at various locations around the city throughout the week but you can visit their website to see where it is on a particular day. Trust me - it's worth it!

Quite frankly the dishes were 5 stars. Run by a family from Lebanon, you can tell the food is authentic. Being 100% Lebanese I can say my words carry a lot of weight! As good if not better than my Sittie (grandma).
