Lebanese cocktail reception in Lyon
Lebanon, a bridge between East and West: mezze in bites, hot pieces and mini skewers, laid out for your receptions in Lyon for the length of a journey.
Every dish has a story
The cocktail reception, mezze on your feet
Lebanese cuisine was made for the cocktail format: built around mezze, those small dishes to share, it lends itself naturally to standing service, to bites and to conversation. From our family restaurant at 38 rue du Dauphiné, in Lyon 3, we build bespoke cocktail receptions, delivered or served, for your professional and private events.

Composition
What a Layali Beyrouth cocktail includes
Our Lebanese cocktail reception is built around three great families. Cold mezze open the reception in verrines and mini-portions; hot bites bring the indulgence and the fragrance of spices; mini skewers close the savoury part on a more substantial note.
On the cold mezze side, count on our creamy hummus, our parsley tabbouleh, smoked aubergine moutabal, vine leaves and fresh salads.
The hot bitesfalafel, kibbeh, fatayer, sambousek, come before the kafta and chicken taouk mini skewers, ahead of the baklava and homemade sweets. Each composition adapts to the number of guests and the time of day.
