The obvious stars of this place, are of course crepes (and savoury crepes- known as galettes to…read moresome). I've been here several times for breakfast and for dessert, and they tend to do a good job with crepes. I did try the eggs Benedict as well, which is okay, but what they also have a cool French toast crepe, which blends the savoury Brie with the sweet maple syrup, and acidic strawberries quite well, as long as you like cheese and are okay with more varied palates. I've also had the crepe Greque and a raspberry chocolate s'more crepe (special), what really stands out to me is the cinnamon roll crepe, which really brings out the best qualities of crepes and cinnamon buns- sweet, fragrant and rich taste of a cinnamon roll, with the moist, smooth and chewy texture profile that you'd expect in crepes, I can't wait to order that again. I'd also note that they do offer good coffee- namely Lavazza, so it's definitely safe to have an Americano or espresso plain.

I was the first one to the restaurant for lunch. There was a bowl of salad on the last table and…read morethe waiter said someone seat there and I could not take that table. So I sat at the table next to it. I kept my eyes on that bowl of salad next to my table and the bowl of salad sat there till I had my cup of coffee and no one came to eat it. Then finally the waiter removed the bowl of salad while I was having my cup of coffee after I had finished my entire lunch. I do but see the purpose of refusal to seat someone at a table with a bowl of salad on it for nothing. I was yelled at by the waiter and followed by giving me the middle finger for taking a photo of the the person making the crepe at the glass window facing the street. If you do not let people take photo then you should make the crepe inside the kitchen downstairs instead of making it right in front of the huge glass window facing the street that anyone walks by even in the street can take photo anyway.

Lebanese food holds a special place in my heart after eating at probably one of my favorite…read morerestaurants in Canada. That is to say, I had high hopes for this place, which was compounded by a recommendation from my then-coworker and still-friend. Eating here marked the first time during my time in Hong Kong where I felt outside of Hong Kong (in other words, in the international/expatriate bubble of Hong Kong). Granted, it was still during my early days and against the backdrop of the protests disrupting normal operations, when I had very few opportunities at the time to explore and appreciate all that Hong Kong has to offer. Located in the madness that is Midlevels, expect to walk up some stairs, and then some. This restaurant's entrance is on the side of where you would take one of many escalators, so keep your eyes peeled and/or pay attention to your CityMapper. The price point is typical of an international restaurant on Hong Kong Island: what finance/business people can afford. And on occasion, educators such as myself. You get what you pay for, as Lebanese food is relatively scarce in East Asia. I take what I can get. I really loved the shawarma hummus and eating it with pita. Such a game changer, so tasty, and of course so pricy. I also enjoyed the way they prepared their falafel, their cauliflower, and their chicken. I was quite pleased by their food offerings. My past coworker brought me to eat here, so to pay it forward, I brought my other coworkers to eat here. Presumably the cycle ended with me, but I would definitely love to come back here.

As my friend was not a big eater, we only ordered the main course. She had the lamb while I had the ribeye steak which was the best decision I made. Every bite I took on the piece of meat made my taste bud crying out for more! It was succulent, cooked to how it was supposed to be. I enjoyed every pieces of it and I got to try the lamb as well, and that was just amazing. I had lamb previously in Seoul and they certainly don't taste as good as this. This certainly made up the disappointment my friend and I had, missing out on our first choice. The atmosphere of the restaurant certainly feels Middle Eastern style but the service on the other hand was a disappointment. They were slow and I can sense their disappointment when we ordered only the main course. Overall, this place is worth the try!

We waited for a bit and I was wondering if they went to pick their own grapefruit..... And, well they kind of did! The manager realized that they didn't have any grapefruit juice in the house so he ran up the block to five other restaurants to get it. Wow. Really cool. I get to talking with him about types of drinks and I happened to mention that I love a good Amarro or Farnet Branca after dinner. Anyway, we order and the first dish is a safron chicken that comes out perfectly cooked. Unique dish served with a great sauce and escarole in a lemony dressing. Then we see the falafel that the other table ordered and remark that we should have ordered that too. The waiter hears us and asks if we also want to order one and we say "why not!". Along comes a perfectly made falafel Egyptian style. Meanwhile, I am still drinking greyhounds and we get our entrees. Mine is a duck risotto with an amazing lemony flavor and crispy duck. My wife had the kabab/skewers of chicken. We finish the meal and the manager remembered our conversation and had gotten a bottle of Amarro. Had a glass of that and a cappuccino to end the night. Great service food and ambiance. Five stars.

It is the cheapest snack there... thirty euro for a big one); Ever since I came back to Hong Kong, I have to say that most kebab places here do not deliver... I know it is supposed to be fast food but come on, that does not mean we just want to stuff ourselves without tasting it. All is about to change guys. I came across this AMAZING Turkish place on Lamma Island. The owner is from Turkey so that is going to make you feel more confident about this place. I recommend to have the kebab instead of the burgers here as its kebab is rather tasty. However, I have to warn you guys first. For some reason, its kebab is not made from sliced meat. You know, those you will see the staff slicing meat off a rotating BBQ loaf. I am not sure how they prepare this but the meat is not sliced but chucks. The only reason I still give such high mark is because it tastes really good still. However, I am not sure if that is really authentic kebab; anyways, the flavor is rather impressive. Please expect to wait for your food with patience. Since this is a rather popular place and they only make the food after we order, you have to wait for a bit for the food. But I am telling you, it will be worth it.

Friendly service combined with authentic decorations will have you saying Sağol in no time. But let me warn you, especially if you are hiking from Discovery Bay or Tung Chung. The seats are made of wood, hard wood (is there another kind?), with nothing but a cloth to cushion a sore pair of glutes. Glutes aside the food is served quickly on cute, little plates accompanied by an aura of exotic, mouth-watering smells. I've been seven times and seven times I've ordered the spicy minced-lamb wrap for two reasons. The first, it's just that good. The second, the menu has a lot on offer, and when I'm offered that much choice I revert to what I know is good... spicy minced-lamb. On occasion I've ordered a side of pita and hummus.

However, look no further for thou shalt be pleasantly surprised by what's on offer here. I know I was!

They make amazing hummus you could never hope to buy at a grocery store. The dolmas are also a step up from the usual. Overall the food had a fresh homemade feel to it.

Affordable food, but the alcohol is maybe a little pricier than I'm used to seeing in Hong Kong. I guess that's because Mui Wo beach has a lot of tourists. Afterall, most of the people eating at this restaurant were tourists, so they can get away with charging a bit more I guess.
