Fifi here, reporting for duty

By duty, I mean the requirement for me to scour, eat, write, taste, cook, drink and whatever else I need to do to bring you the best in food!

And in this week’s exciting news I got a sneak peak of the menu at Bahrain’s newest restaurant, opening early March.

Ô Liban,a licensed Lebanese restaurant, spread over a few floors, is situated right in the heart of Adliya. Terraces, a bar, a cool vibe… it’s exactly the place we have been needing. I mean, where do you go for kibbeh and a cocktail, for muhammra and a martini or for grills and a gin. Ô Liban of course!

Must-try dishes:

  • Mskhan Rice Salad
  • Cherry Kebab
  • Shawarma Baos
  • Chicken Fatteh
  • Shrimp Freekeh
  • Manaeesh
  • A dessert I will certainly be ordering again (unsual for Fifi who is notoriosly anti-dessert) …the Croissant Um Ali

Get ready Bahrain…finally we can enjoy Levantine cuisine in a cool setting, with a drink in our hand. Sahtain!
