Salt Lake City｜Their Milk Skin Totally Stole My Heart! 🧀💖

Previously wrote about the Mediterranean restaurant Laziz (Sugar House location)—today introducing their bar version, where you can order both drinks and food. The menu is more refined compared to the Sugar House casual dining, but the style remains consistent. The bar gives off an East Coast vintage vibe at first glance, but closer inspection reveals its Mediterranean touches. Each small round table has a lamp, enhancing the intimate atmosphere—perfect for date night! 📍✨ Note: Last call for food is at 9 PM. 🥗 Sampler Dip Plate This feels like Northeast China’s “dipping veggies,” but the sauces are worlds apart! 🥒🌶️ Great for first-timers—try three dips in one go: • Beet Dip: naturally sweet from beets. • Spiced Labne: strong Mediterranean flavors with yogurt and olives. You can also order large portions of individual dips. 🧀 Grilled Halloumi So delicious! Rich, milky, and slightly salty after grilling—perfect as a snack. Made from sheep’s milk but without the strong goat cheese tang. It’s the closest thing to milk skin you’ll find around here. Does it hit your sweet spot? 😉 🍛 Lebanese Platter All platters let you choose your protein—we picked chicken breast, which was tender. Served with cherry tomato salad 🥗, caramelized onions 🧅, and tzatziki (cucumber yogurt sauce) over French lentil rice. Mix it all together or wrap it in pita bread 🥙—every bite offers a new surprise! 🍝 Lamb Meatballs Small portion but packed with spicy, intense flavor. Perfect for pairing with drinks, though the lamb was a bit dry. 🌮 Salmon Taco Open-faced style, with limited salmon and mostly purple cabbage. 🥃 We let the bartender freestyle based on our preferences—turned out great!
