Lebanon's Cafe Restaurant is one of our 2012
| Top 10 New Orleans Value Restaurants

| One of the few international cuisines that are abundant in New Orleans is Middle Eastern, and Lebanon's Café ranks at the top of the list. Indeed, the casual café distinguishes itself with its renditions of stuffed grape leaves, kebabs, baba ghanouj, falafel and fried kibbeh. Branch out beyond the well-known staples, however, and the kitchen offers such dishes as bathenjan dip (eggplant, garlic and jalapeños) or foul (mashed fava beans with lemon juice and jalapeños). All main courses include a simple but super-fresh salad, and a swirl of hummus that's good for dipping just about anything into---from pita bread to chicken shwarma. Dessert choices don't go beyond baklava and burma (pistachios and honey wrapped in a crumbly crust), but with a cup of the almost semi-solid Turkish coffee, they're a nice finale to a meal. There are a number of sidewalk tables outside shaded by huge old oaks. BYOB with no corkage fee. |
