Lebanon - Penang

Lebanon is a beautiful restaurant right behind the beach of Batu Ferringhi. It is easy to find and there is a bus stop nearby, which was very good because we travel by bus to Penang. The interior is very tastefully decorated in fact, it was one of the most beautiful restaurant I visited on this trip, and I liked the view very much (of course the personal taste is). The staff was attentive, very friendly and spoke good English, so it was easy to ask about the ingredients of the dishes. The vegan dishes are not marked, but the staff was knowledgeable. We ordered the Lebanon Mix Salad and the Falafel, as well as the olives because there were no salads. Everything tasted good, especially the falafel, which was fresh and very smooth. The baba ganoush was also excellent. It is a bit expensive for penang and for what it is, and it could be more vegan options, but nevertheless it was very pleasant to spend dinner here after the afternoon on the beach!

Lebabnon is located in a new location in the By The Sea complex a short walk from the public beach. Beautiful interior with flowers everywhere. We came to a mood because it was near the public beach and we were some of the first people to enjoy it. The staff was attentive and welcoming and knew what items would be suitable for vegans. The elections were traditional not surprises, but tasteful and well prepared. Near a mosque and most people here are devout Muslims so thinking about arrival near the prayer period. Great service. I had coconut curry vegetables with biriyani style rice. The remaining room is gender-neutral, which is not common and you need to go outside to use it, which is also unusual.

You have a tiny part of Lebanese food. Most menus are Indian, but much too expensive for Malasian standards. There are many Indian dishes/restaurant with vegetables and vegan dishes around. They charge 16% on the invoice for services and taxes. You can't read it somewhere in advance and don't tell you. I asked the employees about it and they said: “All customers know it.” How does a new customer know?
