Fine Lebanese Drinks and Desserts
Lebanese wine and Arak perfectly complement the rich flavors of Lebanese cuisine. Lebanon, one of the world’s oldest wine producers, derives its wine from the Bekaa Valley. Notable white wines include Les Bretèches Blanc and Blanc de Blancs, known for their floral and fruity notes.
Red wines like Château Kefraya and Ixsir Grande Reserve offer bold, complex flavors with hints of fruits and spices. For rosé lovers, Kefraya Myst provides subtle berry notes. Arak, a traditional Lebanese spirit distilled from grapes and anise, is another standout. Together, these drinks enhance the authenticity of the dining experience at Maroush.
Enjoying an Authentic Lebanese Meal at Our Restaurant
Lebanese meals are designed for sharing and reflect Lebanon’s vibrant culture. At our restaurant, the experience centers on connection and enjoyment. Lebanese food is served as mezze, a variety of small dishes, rather than in traditional courses.
This style encourages interaction and creates a dynamic dining atmosphere. Guests can enjoy diverse flavors while engaging in meaningful conversations, a hallmark of Lebanese hospitality. Dining this way brings people together and highlights the social nature of Lebanese culture.
