Traditional Culinary Art Lebanon's traditional culinary art combined with the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables make eating out an adventure. Restaurants specializing in Lebanese food are found everywhere and in all of them you will be invited to try the famous hors-d'oeuvres known as mezze . A good mezze has 30 or 40 dishes, but feasts with as many as 100 dishes have been recorded. It's wise to dedicate an entire afternoon to the authentic Lebanese lunch.
Some delicacies are always present in a mezze, including the internationally known tabboule salad.
The mezze is usually served without cutlery, for the traditional flat round Arab bread is both fork and spoon. This substantial appetizer course is often accompanied by arak but Lebanon also produces some excellent beers and wines that go just as well. In Lebanon there is no shortage of entertainment. You can dine in elegance on fine European cuisine or lunch at rustic riverside cafes. It is possible to enjoy floor shows at trendy nightspots or relax at a pub or bar.
