"A five-minute stroll from Harlesden station, Beit El Zaytoun has a semi-outdoor, covered terrace that is the answer to your latest weather app-related crisis. It’s open from lunch until late during the week, but really you want to stop by at the weekend for a relaxed Lebanese brunch, featuring hummus, mana’eesh, and more hummus. Call ahead so you can secure your riverside view with a side of zait w zaatar and smug skip-the-queue satisfaction. " - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
