Au Four Libanais — Restaurant in Geneva

This restaurant is quite new, having opened a month ago. It is in my neighborhood, so I walked by several times. It was always full. What convinced me to try it was the Kebbe au four. The mother of one of my good friends makes this dish - we love it - so we decided to try the restaurant together.

When we entered, we didn’t expect it to be a family restaurant. One of the owners - the son who manages the front of the house - pointed to a photo of a beautiful seaside town, saying that this is where they come from, as does the cuisine and the wine. We decided to indulge, and ordered many dishes to share.

Each dish we were served was exceptional and surprising. Not because it was trying to be innovative, but because they were real recipes that the amazing chef cooks at home. The Hummus and the Fatouche tasted like it would in Lebanon - something exceptionally hard to replicate in Geneva. The Fatteh d’aubergine was absolutely delicious, and new to me. The mother who does all the cooking and serves each dish told us a story about the fatteh, and how she learned to make it.

This is the kind of restaurant I want to support, the kind I will now think about as a reference for the most authentic expression of a cuisine. Not just because of the food, but because you could feel that the owners have a genuine desire to share their culture and cuisine. Many restaurants feel transactional, while this felt like you were in someone’s home.

I highly recommend this restaurant - don’t hesitate to try it. This lovely restaurant deserves much success and...

Geneva has become a hot spot for Lebanese restaurants but one takes the prize. The newly opened Au Four Libanais is gem. The food tastes just like home cooking and the fetteh is an absolute treat you can’t miss. The fixed menu includes staples from Lebanese cuisine and a rotating dish of the day option brings all your heart desires from the extensive selection of Lebanese dishes. Follow them on Instagram to stay informed. The owner, who began with a home catering operation, and her son make you feel genuinely welcome from the moment you arrive. He has a real talent for customer service and being charming is a bonus. Compared to other Lebanese restaurants in Geneva, it’s excellent value for money. Good luck...

Real authentic and home like made Lebanese cuisine ... and very cosy. Very Delicious and very tasty food. The portions are unusually very generous. The price is very, very resonable. The atmosphere is very nice and friendly. We tried it today for the first time but we will be back there again and again. Of course we tried a significant number of other Lebanese restaurants in Geneva and the Léman area, but for us and to our taste "Au Four Libanais" comes on top, especially in terms of autenticity. A retaurant highly...
