Alexandria · City centre, Alexandria

Hassan Bleik

A Lebanese house in the centre, open at lunchtime only, as fifty years ago.

€€ Mid-rangeOff the beaten track

Lebanese daily dishes served in an old building's room: kibbeh, stuffed vegetables, vermicelli rice. The menu changes with the pot, service ends in the early afternoon, and the place has changed none of its habits.

The extra bit

Come before 2 pm: after that only what the kitchen has not sold remains.

Know before you go

Closed in the evening, and on Sundays in some periods: phone before crossing town.
