Restaurant Libanon — Restaurant in Ixelles - Elsene

We enjoyed Lunch with family in this Lebanese resto. The atmosphere at entrance seems like another take away PITA place but the decor around the tables is excellent and actually shawarma was not even on menu which is typical for PITA places. We ordered "Assiette libanaise" dish which is 1 brochette and 4 mezze dishes to choice: so we tried humus (loved it!) the eggplant salad, Tabbouleh, labneh cheese, and some other Lebanese cheese salad - everything was delicious. We also ordered Assiette Tabbouleh with 2 brochettes+fries+salad tabbouleh. I read before a review saying dishes were not big enough, which i disagree - believe me, after you eat the Assiette Tabbouleh you're not hungry anymore. All dishes were €10/dish while separate mezze were €5 per mezze. All in all we paid €17 per person wine included and dessert (delicious by the way) was offered. Excellent...

I won't be back. We were a group of 12 people, and when it came time to pay separately, they charged more than what was on the menu to almost everyone. We realized the next day about this. The food is okay, but the portions are a bit small. At the end of the meal, when only 3 people were left, a bill of 38 euros suddenly appeared out of nowhere with lefover orders. Everyone had paid already. The manager (or whoever seemed like the owner) was quite rude the whole time, with an attitude of not wanting to work or having any interest in the customer. I won't be going there again, and I'll warn...

The food had good taste; a plate of different food for €10 (see picture below). I ate at the restaurant; it was clean and comfortable. Most of the food was cold; I don't know if that is the way is originally served, or only my food was cold, maybe some explanation for the newbies, or the choice to get warm food. While there some people buy take away food or sandwiches.

UPDATE: After many times eating there... it became a favourite in the...
