CafŽ Blanc, Lebanese Kitchen is a new addition to the row of chic restaurants located in the Seef district behind Al Aali Shopping Complex, reports Asma Salman.
Although the exterior of the restaurant is an ubiquitous shade of beige but the blue, beige and white interior is in sync with its philosophy. Cool, well lit and refreshing with friendly staff, CafŽ Blanc offers more than what meets the eye.
Lebanese Mony Karam, manager of the restaurant, said: "We opened our restaurant in a location which is brimming with popular dining options."
CafŽ Blanc, which opened two months ago, is the only restaurant serving Arabic food in a string of eateries that offer international cuisine. Its clientele is predominately Arabic and the restaurant has developed a niche with weekend visitors who are looking to savour Arabic cuisine.
"We have already established a regular clientele that walk into the door knowing that they will get authentic Lebanese food at a competitive price without compromising on the taste and quality," added Mr Karam.
CHEF Hassan El Ammar trained in his home country of Lebanon and learnt the art of cooking delicious authentic Lebanese cuisine with various chef's there.
He developed CafŽ Blanc's extensive menu painstakingly and ensures that whichever dish leaves his kitchen has a distinct authentic flavour.
Everyday he creates a special daily dish out of the menu, his personal favourite being Moghrabieh - chicken cooked with chick peas.
He provides GulfWeekly readers the recipe of Tabboule which he says is healthy and refreshing and ideal for the hot summer months.
Tabboule
Mix chopped parsley, onion, tomato, burghol, lemon juice, olive oil, salt all together. Mix and serve on salad leaves with lemon wedges.
