Lebanese in inspiration, the new flagship restaurant at the Vineyard Hotel is brimming with fresh and vibrant flavours.
Come early for mezze: traditional dips like baba ganoush, hummus, muhammara (roasted red pepper and walnuts), served with manakish flatbreads, or lamb kofta and succulent smokey squid. Then stay for dinner: a varied menu where chef Suleiman Isaacs re-interprets Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes with a flash of creative inspiration.
The bright and airy restaurant is in the space previously home to Myoga, spilling onto the terrace and lush gardens of the hotel, with impeccable service and a relaxed sense of occasion. Finish off with the nostalgic znoud (a phyllo-pastry tube filled with light bread pudding scented with citrus), or flowery jasmine-scented honey-blossom ice cream for dessert.
