    As always, Au Liban offered us an amazing experience. The ambiance is welcoming and my sons, partner and I shared hot and cold mezza and the shareable From the Land entree. It was a wonderful family outing, sharing the food and chatted about what we liked best. We look forward to returning soon, maybe even just for more Turkish coffee and dessert. Outstanding restaurant!

    Wow, just wow! This was my first time trying Chef Colin’s food and it certainly won’t be my last!! The steak cooked on the open fire had such a depth of flavour, and the handmade pasta was a highlight of the meal! Finally, finished off the meal with the ooey gooey cake, that truly couldn’t believe was gluten free. Fabulous service, lovely atmosphere and overall fantastic meal. We will be back!
