LIBARTIST - Paris

Went there that day for lunch and had a fabulous meal of Lebanese chicken on a bed of bulgur with a spicy tomato sauce, and a side of tabbouleh salad. It was so good! So good, in fact, that the following evening, I took my husband there for dinner. I had the same meal, while he had shwarma over potatoes. It was just as good as the first time. I've had Lebanese before in the US, but this was by the far the best ever. And it was so reasonably priced. Definitely worth the visit.

Dès que je croise sur ma route un restaurant libanais, c'est plus fort que moi, je fais un hold-up sur sa cuisine!! Cette dernière relève de l'Art et malheureusement, l'émotion papillaire n'est pas toujours au RDV. Je suis aux anges maintenant que j'ai découvert LIBARTIST, devenu mon "kit de survie"!!! Je passe sur la gentillesse de Jimmy, au service et à l'accueil, qui a convaincu sa Maman de se mettre aux fourneaux. Là voilà, la riche idée!!! C'est le secret de ces saveurs uniques, bonnes "comme là-bas", comme un dimanche midi en famille à Beyrouth! Kefta, shawarma, taouk et falafel rivalisent de saveurs. Les mezzé, plus beaux et goûteux les uns que les autres (miam..!!.. hoummous, moutabal et taboulé!), font le bonheur des yeux, farandole de couleurs dans l'assiette. Et je vous jure que le mouhalabiyé -ce flan au lait délicatement parfumé à la fleur d'oranger- est à se rouler par terre!! Portions copieuses et excellent rapport qualité-prix. Bref, quand vous aurez découvert ce lieu haut en saveurs et sa paire "mère-fils" haute en couleurs, vous ne pourrez plus vous en passer! Bon à savoir, vente à emporter ou à consommer sur place autour d'une grande table carrée collective où la conversation s'engage aussi chaleureusement avec ses voisins. Comme à la maison!
