Fairuz
About Fairuz
Fairuz is named in tribute to Lebanon’s most famous chanteuse -- a sweet,
dotty idea that, if copied, could lead to Cliff Richards the chippie or
Madonna the burger bar. One of London’s more relaxed and intimate Lebanese
restaurants, Fairuz still observes all the traditions: white tablecloths,
formal service, the instant appearance of olives and chilled salad veg upon
arrival. But the decor, cooking, and staff are all pleasantly flamboyant.
The decor is warm yellow with turquoise touches. There’s a general bonhomie
among the staff and clientele. And the cooking bursts with Eastern
Mediterranean flavours -- old favourites like tabouleh, foul moukaaka, and
moutabal do new dance steps on your tongue. Good vegetarian selection, of
course, and complimentary fruit and baklava with coffee.
