Hummus and its cold mezze

حمص

Hummus is rarely eaten alone: it opens the parade of cold mezze, to share at the start of the meal with Lebanese bread, before the grills and the dishes to build.

Chapter · Tradition

An age-old recipe, served every day in Lyon 3

Hummus is one of the pillars of Lebanese cuisine: long-cooked chickpeas, mashed and blended with sesame paste, fresh lemon and garlic, eaten at the start of the meal with other cold mezze. At Layali Beyrouth, a family restaurant open since May 2010, this recipe has been carried by the couple at the stove for fifteen years: the chef in the kitchen, his wife in the dining room.

Fresh selection

Produce chosen daily for a consistent taste

The strength of our hummus comes from a simple principle: buy fresh every morning and work without stock. This discipline, kept by the couple at the stove and in the dining room since opening, ensures the hummus served at lunch was made that same day, no waiting tub, just a smooth cream balanced between the acidity of lemon, the softness of tahini and the roundness of the chickpea.

That same standard runs through our whole Lebanese table. 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.
