Liza restaurant Paris



Lamb Aux Cinq Epices with Rice

Caviar d'Aubergines

Lamb Tartar with Parsley

Kebbah (spicy grilled lamb sausages) with side of hummus

This was a great little place. Lately, everyone has been updating and "modernizing" the world's great cuisines, and in Paris there are examples of this everywhere - whether it be French , Italian, any number of Asian "fusion" establishments, North African, etc, but until now, Lebanese cuisine has escaped this trend, visitors being forced to eat at Diwan, Noura, or any of a number of other tourist-ridden establishments.

Liza is a breath of fresh air, not only for the light, design/traditional décor, and the friendly service, but for the quality cuisine (kitchen overseen by the former chef of London's Fakkreldine), fine wines, and easy ambience.

Adrian, would you mind saying what those dishes are? Thanks.

Sure, creeper, I think I can do that for my one-and-only reader (well, one of three or four, anyway).

I fully agree with you.
Both the atmosphere and the cuisine are great.
The only thing I don't like is their reintepretation of "lahm bi ajine" (pizza like pastries).

It's now March 2009. Is this still a good place to eat? I'll take my daughter Liza there if you still recommend the place.
