Every dish has a story

A Lebanese room, just for your group

Booking Layali Beyrouth privately is not renting a standardised venue: it means reserving a family address open since May 2010 at 38 rue du Dauphiné, in the 3rd arrondissement of Lyon. The whole room becomes yours, up to 30 guests, around Lebanese cuisine prepared that same day. The mezze are set at the centre of the table, passed around, and your event takes on the feel of a true gathering.

“Booking privately means giving your guests a place that takes its time: the room to yourselves, a few dishes of mezze, and an evening that stretches on.”

Chapter · At the table

Mezze at the centre, grills and homemade desserts

A private hire at Layali Beyrouth is built around the spirit of the Lebanese meal: cold and hot mezze set at the centre of the table, hummus, tabbouleh, kibbeh, falafels, followed by carefully prepared grills and homemade desserts. Everyone helps themselves, tastes, shares: the meal comes alive and brings together guests who don't always know each other.

The menu is built with you, starting from the dishes already on our menuoften a grill prepared during the day, kafta or chich taouk, sometimes a shawarma sliced on the spot. We don't create dishes beyond our expertise: the idea is to showcase what the house has done best for fifteen years.
