Best Lebanese Restaurants in The Annex

Winterlicious 2025. Semi-hidden restaurant on the second floor. Ambience is excellent - it’s modern but warm with comfortable touches like their couch seating that spans much of the northern perimeter. Regular menu is small and easy to choose from, wine selection offers plenty of choice. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. We had two servers and both were very friendly and attentive. Glasses were kept full of water which I appreciated. Food- I’ll start by saying it’s a 4 course winterlicious meal. There was a lot of food between the dips, mezze , main and dessert. I believe a floor manager or host recommended the Truffle Rakakat (spelling*) for the mezze portion. Not that the other food wasn’t great but, man oh man, the Rakakat was VERY good. If you like cheese, it’s a levelled up mozzarella stick. Mains were lamb and skewer plates. Both great and there was plenty of food, no skimping here! All in all, it was a great winterlicious experience here. Makes me want to come back for the regular service menu.

Excellent meal and service. Very pricey. The best value was the tasting menu. We got a sampling of mezzes, a salad, 2 large appetizers, 4 mains and a dessert for 4 people. We had plenty of delicious food and the value was better than a la carte. Noise level on the main floor was very high. We could hardly hear the servers and frequently could not hear each other. There was a large and sometimes boisterous group next to us which contributed to the noise level. One nice feature was the large tables so that there was plenty of room for our multiple dishes and glasses etc. We would definitely go again for a special occasion and request seating upstairs which may be quieter.

I love this restaurant. The food is exquisite and the staff is friendly and super helpful. Sue was an amazing hostess and great ambassador for the restaurant. We ordered the tasting menu and got a vast assortment of sharing dishes and a great main plus dessert. All the food was on point. This is by far the best restaurant I’ve been to in Toronto. 5 stars!

Food was great! It just seemed like the waiter forgot about us

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner, the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. After returning from a recent trip to Dubai, we were missing the food and this place totally nailed it. We’ll be back for sure!
