MED Restaurant

Duo has a new addition to its family, and they named it MED!

Located in City Center, in Hazmieh, you can either enjoy your time there in its trendy interior, or at its spacious, but light lacking dim terrace, and get pampered by their friendly and professional staff.

Even though, MED, is the abbreviation of Mediterranean, still this new restaurant has much more to offer than just oriental Lebanese food, alongside a salad bar, for those who desire!

We tried quite a few items and were quite satisfied of how they performed with our taste buds!

A beautiful aromatic start with the MED CAKE GARLIC BREAD, a large freshly baked loaf, stuffed with creamy garlic, emmental cheese and herbs. This insanely delicious appetizer will forever change your perception of the traditional garlic bread! A must have over and over again, and over again!

MED CAKE GARLIC BREAD

Mixed with sweet chilli sauce, the SHRIMP TAPAS, are soft and flavorful, served with bread slices, and so were the CREAMY SPINACH TAPAS, with chunks of mushrooms and parmesan cheese. Just spread a spoonful of that luscious dip onto a a piece of bread and you cannot be any happier!

The QUINOA TABBOULEH SALAD had a distinguished amazing secret ingredient, or maybe not! Fresh, light, perfectly seasoned and simply wonderful!

Both the GREEK PIZZA and THE PIZZA BEEF PEPPERONI had a thin dough with a moderate flavor.

GREEK PIZZA

BEEF PEPPERONI

An assortment of grilled veal, makanek and tawouk skewers, served with French fries,  is what they call their MIXED GRILLED PLATTER.  Completely fresh, using the highest quality ingredients.

In cute small pots, hot and straight from the kitchen, they served us BEEF STROGANOFF, which I think that the chef should revisit the recipe, but the CHICKEN CREAMY MUSHROOM SERVED WITH RICE, and in pots, as well, was delicious.

Desserts, desserts, desserts and more desserts! We felt like little children in a candy store!

A splendid crispy APPLE PIE, an explosion of chocolate cake with chocolate ice cream and caramel sauce create an intensely rich and mouthwatering DARK CHOCOLAT VOLCANO. Filled with melted chocolate and topped with vanilla ice cream, and then crushed to share OUR SPECIAL MUFFIN, with smiles on our faces! The MED ORIENTAL TWIST, with sahlab ice cream, a renovated recipe of our traditional maamoul, a warm soothing taste of the orient!

MED has so much more delightful items to savour, from starters, salads, pizzas, pastas, burgers, sandwiches, a kids menu and a variety of original main courses, which is worth a second and a third visit, if not more, to dig into those pleasures.

I surely had great eggs benedicts but never did love one as much as the ones served here!

The fresh tasteful eggs, the buttery aromatic sauce holondais on a perfectly crunchy muffin.

Just beautiful

You'll fall in love with that buttery aroma

Now let's talk about lunch!

Nothing could be better than a warm soup on a cold and windy day. 

The roasted pumpkin and cinnamon soup was flavorful yet light so as not to kill your appetite, that you would be most in need of at this generous restaurant!

Roasted Pumpkin and Cinnamon Soup

Simply Beautiful

We're addicted to sushi

The fajitas station offers both chicken and meat wraps filled with the genuine taste of Mexico and Spain...now that I have mentioned it, I should have had more of those fabulous fajitas!

Oh my fajitas

At that point, we required the menu again to choose our main dish of Char grilled pork sausages, Garlic and rosemary lamb cutlets, Pan seared seabass, 5 spices duck breast, Bacon and brie Burger and for the faithful, the Lebanese specialty of the day.

Hesitant, doubtful, confused and lost is how we felt. We wanted to have them all, but logic prevailed and funny how we both ended up selecting the same candidate!

It came in a pan, sitting there like a king, accompanied by a huge side of fries, The Bacon and brie Burger!

Bacon & Brie Burger

This burger is very photogenic

The crispy bacon and the almost melted brie complimented the exquisite meat to procreate the divine burger.

I'm not letting go

The glorious dessert buffet offers you a great number of items to speed up your sugar rush!

Cakes, puddings, profiteroles, mousses, macarons, a chocolate fountain, a waffle station...you name it and it's there!

So many options

Galette des rois

I can never say no to red velvet

Even more options

Macarons

Waiting in line to be dipped

Oh, by the way, if you are thinking what to do with your kids so you are able to totally enjoy this feast, then worry no more, as it's also been taken care of and a special kids recreational area is devoted especially for your little ones; just make sure to ask for it upon making your reservation!

We always wrap-up great meals with Coffee

In one of the corners of my mind, there's a constant reminder telling  me to visit Indigo on the Roof again.

The great service where everyone is treated like VIPs, the perfect food that you not only enjoy but appreciate as well. 

Simply irresistible!
