Chapter · Tradition

Lebanese sweetness, a family affair

In Lebanon, dessert closes the meal without ever weighing it down. It reaches the table after the mezze and the grills, to be shared in small portions, with a Lebanese coffee or a mint tea. At Layali Beyrouth this ending has been carried by the couple at the stove for fifteen years: the chef in the kitchen, his wife in the dining room.

To build your meal, extend your mezze or grills with our baklava in syrup, then browse the full menu to discover the whole Lebanese table served in Lyon.

Signature sweet

Baklava, crisp filo layers in syrup

Among our desserts, baklava holds pride of place. Fine layers of filo pastry, a filling of dried fruit and a fragrant syrup: each piece plays on the contrast between the crispness of the pastry and the sweetness of the syrup. A short, fragrant bite, in the tradition of oriental pastry.

It is rarely eaten alone, often in an assortment with a creamy mhalabieh or a portion of namoura. Enjoy it in our dining room at 38 rue du Dauphiné, as takeaway with Click & Collect or delivered in Lyon via Uber Eats and Deliveroo.
