Al Bustan is the place where authentic, Lebanese-Middle Eastern cuisine is served. This sophisticated restaurant manages to recreate the essence of Beirut’s bygone days as the “Paris of the Middle East.”
Although Lebanon is a small country along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean side of the Middle East, it is one of the most diverse and vibrant places found anywhere. The country is home to ancient great civilizations, yet its people exist harmoniously in a mix of old and new cultures and traditions.
As any student of history knows, the Lebanese have benefited from their varied heritages: the Phoenicians, the Caledonians, the Aramaeans, the Persians, the Assyrians, the Arabs, and the Armenians. This makes for a rich cultural background that translates into the nation’s culinary treasures. The country’s rich soil produces among the best fruits and vegetables. The lean meat and seafood are also outstanding.
