A hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, La Mézéterie truly feels like home. Warm atmosphere, thoughtful decor, and genuinely kind service. The food is simple, fresh, and full of flavor. Every dish felt like it had a story behind it. The chicken kunafa was a highlight , crispy, tender, and full of bold spices. I finished with the cookie baked in the pan, warm and gooey, like a sweet hug in a skillet. And the Zhurat, a traditional Lebanese herbal infusion, was the perfect ending: floral, grounding, and calming. La Mézéterie reinvents the art of the mezze ,those small Levantine dishes meant to be shared , blending tradition and modernity in a unique culinary experience inspired by today’s Beirut. You feel the soul behind each dish. A place where you want to slow down, savour, and come back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for authenticity with a modern twist. Thank you Abel for the great service
We came here with no reservation and were seated right away. The restaurant was already busy but got quite busy yet the service remained perfect. The food was INCREDIBLE. The sample platter with bread and different dips was absolutely amazing, and the shrimp main course I got blew my mind. Made me obsessed with Lebanese food
Sary is the host you hear of in ancient eastern tales. This venue is a dream, manifest. Modern Lebanese food? Sure, but it’s also an art gallery. I’ve been to Beirut several times and I can attest that this restaurant brings the very best of their culinary mastery to the romantic streets of Paris.
Not my first time here! and definitely not my last. I’ve been to this restaurant more than 8 times already. It’s always packed, so this time I arrived early for dinner and managed to snap a few photos while it was still empty. But don’t be fooled, the place was full within 15 minutes. Reservations are a must, especially if you’re coming with a group. In my opinion, this is the only truly authentic Lebanese restaurant in Paris. Some of my favorite dishes are: -Muhammara ⭐ -Tartare de Bœuf à notre façon -Taboulé -Viande d’agneau I didn’t get the chance to try the new items on the menu. I got too carried away ordering my usual favorites and didn’t even notice the new additions! And if you’re not Lebanese, just a heads-up: Lebanese food is made to be shared, so bring friends and try a bit of everything!
We came here for dinner on a weeknight and it was super busy (we made a reservation the day before). We loved the beet babaganoush, cheese candy, shrimp Provençal and beef dumplings in yogurt sauce (not actually dumplings, I just forget what they’re called). Excellent dinner and would absolutely go back to try more! Friendly staff too.
One of the best Lebanese restaurants I’ve ever been to. Every single dish we tried was absolutely delicious, except for the desserts — but I have a very picky taste when it comes to sweets, so that’s okay. This place definitely deserves five stars — and I don’t give five stars often. I’ll definitely come back here whenever I’m in Paris. Highly recommended!
The best Lebanese food in Paris if not in France. A must try for Lebanese food with a twist. Even for a cocktail, there infused Lebanese twist drinks are great as well. A must try is the Feast as an entree, and their tacos, yes Tacos but Lebanese way is absolutely a must try. If u r craving for Kenner then this is the place for you
Kind staff & good food! We had a table for a short time at very last minute without a reservation. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. Food is fast served with fresh herbs, super tasty! A gem during our girls trip is this.
