Manuela: Lebanese gala
My friends took me to this place on my last night in Lebanon - to put the right end to the fairy-tale. And a fairy-tale it really was.You can taste there all traditional Lebanese dishes, prepared with an art and served with finnesse. But most important of all - you can get a taste of Lebanese hospitality. The service is impeccable (and, to my European mind, slightly exaggerated). What with having a waiter at your table all the time, cutting fresh vegetables, changing plates and cutlery, pouring drinks, etc. (not to mention the other small army hustling and bustling around). And for dessert - well, you just pass on to the next table, which has just been laid out especially for you. Would you like some Lebanese coffee? The coffee-boy is on his way. Arguilleh? It's there, just for you, Sir. Tabouleh - locals say it's the test for every restaurant. In Manuela it's perfect. With fresh mint...
