The Best Dishes Eater Editors Ate This Week: May 27 | Eater LA
"A daytime brunch program recently launched by chef Charbel Hayek that leans into Lebanese roots: the first course features falafel, seared halloumi, crudité, olives with feta, and labneh that his mother actually makes in the kitchen. The French toast is singled out as a dessert-to-share that “elevates custard to new heights” with an impossibly soft yet firm consistency, made with brioche, brown butter, fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and layers of salted caramel throughout; it’s described as beyond rich and beautiful to look at. The dish pairs well with cardamom-spiced Lebanese coffee poured tableside, and the entire daytime experience on the restaurant’s gorgeous patio is recommended for an enjoyable morning or afternoon. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Eater Staff
