Lebanese cuisine, deconstructed and rebuilt in front of you — two seatings, one open kitchen.
LMATBAKH opened on Armenia Street in 2025 and filled its chef's table within months. Chefs Christine Saad and Elie Harb take the dishes Lebanon knows by heart — mutabbal, moghrabieh, kibbeh — and rebuild them with French technique, live, a meter from your seat. Two seatings a night, reservations required, and a menu 'according to the chef' that changes as the market does.
FROM THE MENU ACCORDING TO THE CHEF
Every dish finished in the middle of the room — dinner as theatre.
The classic, cut like a jewel — tradition holding the center of the menu.

Lmatbakh is a hidden gem in Mar Mikhael. Authentic Lebanese flavors with a creative twist, beautifully executed. Every dish is super tasty, well balanced, and feels both traditional and modern at the same time.
A must go. This is not a restaurant, it's an experience. Lebanese food with a lot of creativity and courage, all while tasting incredible. So good that we booked our next visit after we finished!
One of my top restaurants in Beirut! Food and menu are exceptionally innovative, creative, fun and exquisite. High quality ingredients, open kitchen; definitely best cuisine experiences.
