Under the flagship Café Libanais, we opened Liza on the 3rd floor of Galeries Lafayette amidst all the fashion boutiques, with a wonderful space. 200 m2 just for us. It’s a dream come true having as much space in such an outstanding venue.
I adore this shop: it combines modernity and old fashion traditions: everything we love. At Café Libanais, there is no set lunchtime, the kitchen is open all day long from 11h30am to 6pm… The menu oscillates between lunch time and tea time, we serve our favorite cuisine: fresh and joyful (and often without gluten) Maria Ouseimi, the designer who invented the style of this new venue, we drew our inspiration from the spirit and cuisine of an old café in Beirut where we go to read our papers, chat while sharing mezzés, nibbling on a house sandwich, sip a lemonade, before indulging in a soft chocolate, baklavas or a rose cake. On the walls, Maria has applied a wallpaper featuring the drawing on the floors of the palace where we opened Liza in Beirut.
