A fantastic lebanese restaurant experience.
Start with the lebanese beer. It has a light citrus accent and is perfect for a warm afternoon on the terrasse.
I had the Menu Arzz, which started off with a plate of hummus, tabbouleh, falafel and a fromage frais/yogurt. I had never had parsley-based tabbouleh, but was pleasantly surprised. If you find it a little bitter or harsh you can mix it with the fromage.
The main course was two lamb brochettes, two spicy chicken brochettes and a beef/pita thing. The lamb was fantastic, especially if you are not a lamb fan. The chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy and tender and evenly spiced. I was less enthused by the beef pita but it was still nice to discover.
The service on terrasse was very good. A little slow between the two courses but very pleasant and attentive when we asked for more water or beer.
To be repeated the next time I am back in Avignon. read more
