About the restaurant

Good food, gracious hospitality, and a pioneering spirit. These are all aspects that we have taken from our cultural background to bring you one of the most unique experiences that you will encounter. We hope you enjoy your journey with us at Rabbath. Our family escaped war torn Lebanon during the civil war of 1975 and settled in Australia. Like many before us seeking a peaceful life, Australia welcomed us with open arms, and right from the moment we arrived we called this beautiful, sacred land our home. Our passion in cuisine became part of our everyday life while growing up in Australia. The Syrian and Lebanese backgrounds in our parents’ heritage meant we were influenced by world-class cuisine and culture.

A wonderful intimate restaurant serving a delicious Lebanese degustation. The meal presentation was lovely and sitting at the kitchen bar witnesses the whole process. The Chef and Maître d’ were engaging and thoughtful. Good value for the experience. Will be back :-)

We had Sunday high tea. Of our 5, we had a lactose sensitive person and 2x gluten free. With prior warning, the chef was able to accommodate our GF needs and minimise dairy. The teas are tasty, and the mix of flavours in the range of high tea offerings was excellent. Happy customers - 3 boomers 2 Gen X. Thanks.

About the restaurant

"Iran is a country with a diverse geography and ethnic population. It sits at the centre of the former Kingdom of Persia, one of the world’s oldest continuous major civilisations. Iran forms a bridge between the Middle East and the Far East in the centre of the ancient Silk Road, a major trading route which goes back tens of thousands of years.

Persian cuisine has influenced many world cuisines, and has absorbed elements from other cuisines as well. It's no surprise that Persian ingredients such as saffron, pomegranate have made their way into other cuisines! As ancient traders took their wares to the corners of the world, they traded goods, bringing back the eating habits and ingredients from Greece, Rome, Turkey, Russia and India. Today's Persian cuisine traces its roots to ancient Persian ingredients and recipes, and is enriched by the great tastes imported from the rest of
