Urban Bites
Did you know that Lebanese cooking and food is probably one of the most wholesome and healthiest cuisines around? Using chickpeas, lentils, kidney and fava beans, large varieties of dried nuts and fruit, as well as fresh vegetables, such as cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, mint leaves, olives, and pomegranates, a Lebanese brunch is perfect for those who need that power breakfast kickstart to their weekend! Some menu highlights from Urban Bites include cheese manouche, freshly baked Lebanese flatbread stuffed with four types of cheese, eggs with lamb shakshouka, and the Lebanese big breakfast.
