Kubri - Review - 11th Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation

"This women-run Lebanese hotspot on the edge of the Marais is fun, flavorful, and great for vegetarians. Nail the experience by starting with a cocktail that weaves in Levantine ingredients, like sumac, orange blossom, rosewater, or arak. Then, continue with a few small plates to share like one of the khebez, or bread-accompanied dips, like labné topped with a pile of greens or the Chou Hispi, a grilled piece of cabbage paired with the true star: spicy cream cheese topped with pickled apricot. Plan to come with a crew (so you can order one of everything), and throw back another round of sweet-sour kataifi-wrapped halloumi sticks as the team dials up the playlist of pop-hits until late." - Lindsey Tramuta
