Jounieh is a contemporary approach to the Middle Eastern culinary tradition.
Perfectly positioned on the Walsh Bay harbour foreshore, this waterside venue takes you on a journey through the distinctive flavours and tastes of its famed namesake – the coastal town of Jounieh in Lebanon.

From the pickles and spices of the bustling ‘Souk’, the grandeur of its luxurious oceanfront resorts, bustling nightlife and numerous promenade eateries, Jounieh is an all-encompassing slice of Lebanese culture.

So grab another round of dips and pile up the pita; time moves slowly when you’re eating this well.

    Pros: Food was lovely, really nice chicken, lamb shoulder, fresh oysters, and nice dips. Some staff were helpful, including the one who took our picture. Food came out quickly. Cons: Waiter spilled drink all over my, they gave me some towels to clean myself but didnt replace the wet table cloth which i had to fold during dinner, they didnt clean the wine off the floor, and the chair i was sitting on was sticky and they just swapped it with the table next to me, no cleaning, and then seated a set of customers at the table with the sticky chairs. I was pretty uncomfortable for the rest of the meal because of how sticky and gross I felt. Drink replaced, but no apology or anything else offered
