Kfifen Cœur du Liban — Restaurant in Toulon

I had the opportunity to taste the cuisine of my country upon my arrival in Toulon. 🇱🇧♥️ This delightful Lebanese restaurant is 30 meters from the Lausanne train station and can be reached on foot in a few minutes. Upon my arrival, having had a backpack and a suitcase, I was greeted by a kind Lebanese gentleman, the owner, who took my suitcase with him, bringing it to a room near my table. I immediately thought "the kindness of Lebanese men" which is something typical of us and it is very pleasant :) The very intimate atmosphere on the notes of Fairouz and Wael Kfoury reminded me of Lebanon. The truly typical and traditional food of Lebanese culture, mom and dad are the cooks, exactly like in Lebanon and the truly homely taste, I actually felt "at home". I ate the mezze so i could taste various delicious food, the taste was like in lebanon, highly delicious, served in the typical decorated plates . I immediately explained that I don't eat meat and I had a delightful surprise because when I found Kebbeh on my plate I looked at Rouhana, the owner as if to say "it's meat" but he immediately reassured me by telling me that it is a boulghour kebbeh, even vegan and with a excellent! To my regret I could not finish it all, it was very good and really a lot. Price is like the market price for a restaurant in Toulon. Rouhana, the owner spoke to me with kindness and elegance and the service from him was impeccable. Well, if you want to have an authentic experience with Lebanese cuisine don't hesitate to go there, I highly recommend...

A Taste of Lebanon in the Heart of Toulon!

What an unforgettable culinary experience! From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the kind and generous owner, instantly making us feel at home. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting, with lovely moments of socializing that added to the charm.

We started with a selection of hot and cold mezza—every bite was a burst of flavor, fresh and expertly prepared. The hummus, tabbouleh, lubyeh, pumpkin kibbeh, meat kibbeh, cheese samboosek and moutabal were absolutely delicious, but the highlight for me was the chicken shawarma plate and kafta plate—out of this world! The spices, the tenderness of the meat, the aroma… I can still taste and smell it all.

To top it off, I had a rose syrup drink that instantly transported me to my childhood. The taste was identical to what my grandmother used to make—a beautiful, emotional flashback wrapped in flavor.

Highly recommend this gem if you’re in Toulon. Authentic, heartwarming, and...

Restaurant libanais au centre-ville de Toulon, Kfifen bénéfice d'une quotation à mon sens très favorable. Le rapport qualité prix est défavorable.

L'accueil est normal sans être chaleureux. Peut-être effectivement pour les clients plus reguliers en effet à qui l'on offre le digestif en effet...

La qualité des plats est bonne sans être exceptionnelle (j'ai une expérience de cuisine consommée au Liban).

Les mezzes sont corrects mais minimalistes.

Les viandes des plats sont bien marinées mais les plats sont trop peu copieux.

Pas d'avis sur les desserts après plus de 2 heures de repas dont plus d'1 heure d'attente, nous avons capitulé avant.

Carte des vins minimaliste. Du Kefraya correct. Pas de Ksara. Moyen.

Les menus sont trop peu copieux et le rapport qualité prix est élevé. Pour exemple, une assiette d'assortiment de brochettes aux alentours de 15 euros ne comprend quelques morceaux de brochettes (disons 150 grammes de viande, grand maximum) et un accompagnement de 60 grammes de semoule de blé cuit. C'est trop peu et très certainement avantageux pour le restaurateur.

Les assiettes de Mezees sont également trop peux copieuses.

Enfin, le service a été perturbé par la présence d'une réception dans une salle vosinne. Nous avons dû attendre plus de 30 minutes par commande avec les enfants. Il aurait fallu anticiper cette charge de travail supplémentaire en équilibrant mieux le service.

Peut-être avons nous été prix pour des clients passagers. Je trouve donc que la bonne réputation de ce restaurant est injustifiée.

En conclusion,...
