Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at ISME, a new restaurant that offers a unique blend of Lebanese cuisine with a creative fusion twist. From start to finish, it was a culinary delight! My absolute favourites were the sambouski and cheese cigars—perfectly crispy and oozing with flavour. However, the sujok dumplings and the cucumber radish salad were unexpected standouts, showcasing a surprising and magnificent balance of spices and freshness. A special thank you to Joseph for the incredible cocktail, Le Beirut—an absolute treat that added a memorable touch to the evening. The attention to detail and bold, imaginative flavours across all the dishes and cocktails were exceptional. We cannot wait to return and explore more of the menu! Highly recommended for anyone seeking a fresh and elevated take on Lebanese cuisine.
