We recently had the pleasure of dining here on New Year’s Eve, a quaint Lebanese restaurant in Troyes. They were kind enough to take our reservation last minute.
The service was top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who took the time to explain the various dishes and make recommendations. The menu was extensive, with a wide variety of traditional Lebanese dishes to choose from.
We started with the mezze platter, which included a selection of dips, salads, and kibbeh.The hummus was creamy and rich, while the tabbouleh was fresh and flavorful. The kibbeh was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. All this served along with soft pita bread.
Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with Au Libanais which is family run restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Lebanese dining experience. The prices were reasonable, the service was excellent, and the food was...

Read moreWe had a wonderful experience at this restaurant! The food was incredibly tasty, and the juices were fresh and delicious. We ordered shawarma for the kids and a sandwich for myself, and everything was flavorful and well-prepared.
The staff were extremely polite and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We were on our way to Zurich and noticed that many restaurants close around 2-3 pm, so we called ahead. The team kindly prepared everything for us before we arrived, which was so thoughtful.
Despite being in a rush before their closing time, they went above and beyond. When my daughter accidentally spilled her juice (my fault), they graciously offered a replacement at no extra charge, which we greatly appreciated.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone passing through. You won't be disappointed by the food, service, or...
