The Art of Mezze: A Guide to Lebanese Appetizers at Villa Fayrouz



Lebanese Restaurant in Saudi Arabia called Villa Fayrouz in Riyadh , Jeddha and alula.

Lebanese dining is a celebration of flavors, textures, and traditions—and no aspect of this cuisine captures its spirit quite like mezze. At Villa Fayrouz, mezze isn’t just a course; it’s an experience that brings people together to savor the vibrant heart of Lebanon’s culinary heritage.

Whether you’re a seasoned lover of Lebanese food or discovering it for the first time, our mezze menu offers something for everyone. From creamy dips to crispy delights, every dish is crafted to perfection, setting the tone for an unforgettable meal.



What is Mezze?

Mezze is more than just appetizers—it’s a cultural tradition. A mezze spread consists of small, shareable plates meant to be enjoyed with family and friends. It encourages a leisurely dining experience where conversation flows as freely as the food.

At Villa Fayrouz, we honor this tradition by offering a wide selection of cold and hot mezze, each prepared with the freshest ingredients and authentic recipes.

Cold Mezze: Fresh and Flavorful

Our cold mezze selection highlights the refreshing and wholesome side of Lebanese cuisine. Here are some of our must-try dishes:

  • Hummus Beiruty: A twist on the classic hummus, blended with garlic, parsley, and a hint of chili for extra zest.

  • Baba Ghanouj: Smoky eggplant mashed with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic, offering a depth of flavor in every bite.

  • Tabouleh: A vibrant parsley salad mixed with bulgur, tomatoes, mint, and a tangy lemon dressing.

  • Vine Leaves in Olive Oil: Tender grape leaves stuffed with rice and herbs, offering a light yet satisfying bite.


 

Hot Mezze: Warm and Inviting

Our hot mezze dishes are perfect for those who enjoy bold, hearty flavors:

  • Falafel: Crispy, golden balls of spiced chickpeas, served with tahini sauce for dipping.

  • Kibbeh: A Lebanese classic, featuring crispy shells of bulgur and minced meat filled with spiced ground beef and pine nuts.

  • Cheese Sambousek: Flaky pastries stuffed with a deliciously creamy cheese filling.

  • Lebanese Sausages: Spiced to perfection and sautéed, these sausages are packed with bold, aromatic flavors.


 

Why Mezze Matters

Mezze embodies the essence of Lebanese hospitality. It’s about sharing, connecting, and enjoying a variety of flavors that complement each other. At Villa Fayrouz, our mezze menu celebrates this tradition with dishes that are both authentic and creative, ensuring every table has something to love.


 

The Perfect Pairings

A mezze spread is incomplete without the right accompaniments. Pair your dishes with freshly baked pita bread, a side of Fattoush or Villa Fayrouz Salad, and finish your meal with one of our signature main courses or desserts like Knafeh or Baklava.
