Fantastic venue, loved the staff, water glasses always full, wine glass always full. Never had to ask for anything. Had set menu with amazing dishes. Favourite was the raw fish and the lamb. Complimentary desert in addition to the set menu dessert as well as complimentary shots at the end of the meal. Got to meet the owners too, who are so sweet. Loved the entire experience

We came from interstate for a theatre show and wanted to eat nearby, so Jounieh was the perfect location, I was expecting the food to be good, but we were absolutely blown away. The food was impeccable, absolutely flawless, the flavours, textures and presentation were all 10/10. My partner and I both agreed it was the best meal either of us have ever had (we had the banquet with meat). The service was outstanding, so professional, attentive, but not over bearing or in your face, the decor is modern and sleek, gorgeous location, amazing food and brilliant service. 5 stars. We’re already looking at coming back early in the new year just to eat here again!
