Although focusing on Lebanese cuisine, Tannourine offers you delicacies that incorporate flavors from many Mediterranean regions. Those who love red meat will be a bit disappointed to find that the lunch and dinner menus largely exclude such dishes; however, the poultry and lamb offerings are scrumptious enough to make up for this seeming deficit. Hot and cold mezza like tabouleh and dolma are perfect for snacking on before the main course, but can even serve as the entire meal, should you so choose. Chicken shawarma, shish kebabs and lamb couscous are a few of the many tasty preparations to feast on. Lebanese beverages are also offered.
