27 Best Restaurants in Paris, According to Locals | Condé Nast Traveler

"The Lebanese diaspora in Paris is well-documented, and while there are a plethora of casual Lebanese restaurants, few are as well-known, and as stylish, as Liza. Don't be surprised to dine alongside Lebanese visitors, or locals with Lebanese heritage: It's a veritable destination that draws big groups—its spacious; something of a rarity in Paris. Pair Lebanese wines and arak or homemade orange blossom lemonade with the mezze. Think black-lemon labneh, codfish hummus, and riz au lait (rice pudding) developed with the help of L'Ami Jean chef Stéphane Jego. Everything is meant to be shared, so go for the mixed plates if you can't decide. Don't leave without trying the grilled halloumi, served with sesame-coated tomato jam." - Sara Lieberman, Lindsey Tramuta
