Lebaneat
Lebanese and Middle Eastern restaurant on North Bailey serving shawarma, mixed grills and mezze, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
About Lebaneat
Lebaneat is a Lebanese restaurant on North Bailey, in the historic core of the city between the cathedral and the river. The menu runs through familiar Middle Eastern territory: chicken shawarma, mixed grills, mezze and skewers, with the kitchen noting vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options and a bring-your-own-bottle policy.
It is a casual, everyday sort of dining room rather than a special-occasion venue, open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, and it also operates a busy takeaway and delivery trade. The North Bailey location puts it within easy reach of the university colleges and the cathedral, which suits its all-day, all-week rhythm.
