YABANI
Japanese restaurant in Beirut in a basement with a circular elevator.
Opened since 2002, Yabani who means "Japanese" in Arabic is an architectural curiosity and a gastronomic address. Once in front of the restaurant, we face a lift, a sculpture on its own. Direction the basement where the restaurant is located. The elevator is circular with leather sofas, history to rest during the journey. This idea of having the underground restaurant comes from its architect Bernard Khoury to whom you owe the central restaurants and B 018. Yabani offers a good kitchen: sushi, sashimis, creamy, izuzukuris, etc. It's good, but the bill is salty. The visit ends in the elevator, but this time we go back to the surface.
