"In a city where ham, seafood, and potatoes rule, Mune’s Lebanese food is a fantastic change-up, one that makes vegetables and beans as exciting as realizing an afternoon nap is socially acceptable (even encouraged) here. Their fatush salad topped with pomegranate seeds and crisped bread is tangy and bright from the lemon dressing. If you can’t decide between the regular, beetroot, or truffle hummus (we never can), taste all three with the sampler. Mune’s versatility makes it an easy choice for a chic casual lunch, a dressy dinner date, or when you just can’t decide on where to go since this spot has something for everyone. While the tiny Pelayo outpost is cozy for couples, we love the airy and luminous feel of Mune Prado with high ceilings, exposed brick, and massive windows." - lori zaino
