Leban Teras

Top choice in Eastern Mediterranean


The `Lebanese Terrace' offers a respite from Turkish and Syrian-inspire cuisines, though all three are very close cousins. Seating is in the main dining room or on the breezy terrace, with half the tables laid with white tablecloths and the others red-checkered ones. Order an abundance of meze and a glass of rakı. Lots of vegetarian options, too.
