How to order Lebanese mezze

Mezze is less a dish than a way of eating: lots of small plates in the middle of the table, and everyone shares. Here is how to build yours on our truck.

Mezze are small Lebanese dishes served together and shared at the table: dips like hummus and moutabal, salads like tabbouli, and bites like falafel and stuffed grape leaves. You order a few, put them in the middle and eat with bread. Many of the classic mezze are naturally plant-based, and at Falafoliva every one of them is vegan.

The dishes, one by one

  • Hummus, €8: chickpea purée with tahini, lemon and olive oil. The name simply means "chickpeas" in Arabic.
  • Hummus & falafel, €10: the same hummus, topped with our falafel.
  • Moutabal, €9: smoky eggplant purée with tahini and olive oil. Not sure how it differs from baba ghanouj? Read this.
  • Tabbouli, €8: tomatoes, parsley, bulgur, onion and mint leaves with a lemon and olive oil dressing. In Lebanon, tabbouli is mostly parsley, with only a little bulgur.
  • Stuffed grape leaves, €6: grape leaves filled with tomatoes and short-grain rice, dressed in olive oil.
  • Wild fries, €4: crispy fries topped with thyme.

Tips for a good mezze

  • Mix textures: one creamy dip, one fresh salad, one crispy bite.
  • Order a little less than you think, then add more. That is how mezze is eaten in Lebanon.
  • Wraps work as mezze too: cut one in half and share it.
