Café Blanc is committed to delivering the best of Lebanese cuisine, with fresh ingredients and a striking, modern ambience. This is a restaurant with style and chic elegance. Natural colors welcome you and clear lines define the smooth contemporary design. Think traditional Lebanese food with a 21st century interior design and you have grasped the essence of Café Blanc. The menu is vast, including the fruit juices. Try the Green Valley (fresh avocado, banana, milk and debes). Lebanese food is defined by mezzes, and the sheer joy of communal sharing and conversing characterizes the food here. We love the mchallali (circular strips of tasty cheese caressed in oil) and their shankleesh (a mixture of specialist cheese, onion, tomato, parsley and oil) – all offset with gorgeously delicate puffed breads. Café Blanc is actually a traditional after dinner drink, that consists of hot and rose water blend, and is served free to all customers at the end of the meal. Open from 10 a.m. till midnight, and 10 a.m. till 1 a.m. during the weekends; this is an extremely popular restaurant. During the week you are advised to book, but on the weekends there is a no booking policy.
