Chapter · Tradition
A classic shaped every day in Lyon 3
Kibbeh is one of the pillars of Lebanese cuisine: fine bulgur blended with carefully minced, spiced meat, shaped into small oval croquettes before being fried golden. 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.
To build your meal, pair our kibbeh with other hot starters, browse the full menu, or carry on with our house falafel.
Fresh selection
Produce chosen daily for a consistent taste
The strength of our kibbeh 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 kibbeh served at lunch was rolled and fried that same day, no waiting tub, just a crisp shell and a fragrant heart.
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.
