Celebrate a Lebanese birthday in Lyon
Lebanon, a bridge between East and West: for the length of a birthday, mezze to share and grills of the day to travel an hour or two in the heart of Lyon 3.
Every dish has a story
A birthday around a table made for sharing
Celebrating a birthday at a Lebanese restaurant means choosing a meal built to be shared. At Layali Beyrouth, a family address open since May 2010 at 38 rue du Dauphiné, the mezze are set at the centre of the table and passed from hand to hand: conversation flows on its own, and the birthday takes on the feel of a true gathering. We welcome groups up to 30 people, at lunch and in the evening.
“A birthday is, above all, a table where you take your time: a few dishes of mezze, a grill, and an evening that stretches on.”

Chapter · At the table
Mezze to share, grills and homemade desserts
A birthday meal at Layali Beyrouth unfolds in three acts. First the mezze, cold then hot, set at the centre of the table: creamy hummus, parsley-rich tabbouleh, crisp kibbeh, warm falafels. This is the moment that sets the mood and keeps the dishes moving, and, for guests less familiar with Lebanese cuisine, the chance to discover new flavours in small portions.
Then comes the main course, often a grill prepared during the daykafta or skewers, sometimes a shawarma sliced on the spot. The meal ends with Lebanese desserts and a Lebanese coffee: often the moment the cake comes out.
