Our personal favourite restaurant. A must visit. Exquisite food, wine and cocktails. Incredible service. Great location down at Britomart. A five minute taxi away or a 20 minute stroll. They have high chairs and are more than happy to accommodate families.

Beautiful Lebanese food. Great vibes. Highly recommend a visit. It’s in an arcade on K Road. Quite loud so just be weary if any of your number has hearing problems.
