When I miss Beirut, I go to LIWAN. I adore this concept-store, for me it’s really the modern version of Lebanon. Furthermore, they are really nice, serving you coffee as soon as you arrive….It’s friendly!
I adore picking out vintage scarves, key chains, pitchers in blowne”glass, long shirts to stay at home in a “chic cocooning mode” or pretty slippers… It’s this ultra contemporary Made in Lebanon style that inspired the restaurant Liza on la Rue de la Banque.
I wanted to export the insolence of Beirut designers in a Food version, far from the Parisian places that serve a nostalgic cuisine, in an ambiance that is not in keeping with the Lebanon of today …
