Noura House
Since its opening in 1992, Maison Noura has undergone many transformations. Completely revamped by Pierre Yves Rochon in 2018, the group's historic address unveiled a new cozy setting in pistachio and pastel pink tones: open kitchens, dimmed lights in the dining room... The establishment has also taken a more festive direction, the promise of memorable evenings.
And the surprise continues on the plate. We enjoy gourmet Lebanese cuisine, homemade. On the menu: a myriad of traditional mezes, tabbouleh with fresh parsley, hummus, falafel, meat kebbe or even an exceptional aubergine caviar. Then comes the hot dishes, lamb ravioli and labneh sauce, sojoks flambéed before the eyes of the customers, cauliflower braised with paprika, “black tiger” prawns flambéed with arak, octopus grilled with lachermoula… All amateurs spicy dishes will find their happiness there. And sweet tooths are not forgotten with the almond and pistachio baklava, the rose and orange blossom ice cream or the famous mouhalabié, Lebanese flan with orange blossom. To accompany all this, you can bet on creative cocktails or beautiful bottles of Lebanese wine.
The ultimate novelty: in addition to its delicious cuisine made from fresh products, Maison Noura also offers a great festive atmosphere, on weekends on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturday evenings. From 21:30 p.m., musical performances are organized, singer, oriental dancer, DJ set... Everyone ends up getting up to sing and dance in a friendly atmosphere.
Note that the place can also be privatized to host many private events such as birthdays or other business seminars. Enough to offer a unique Lebanese evening to loved ones or collaborators!
Tasty and generous dishes, deliciously friendly atmosphere, discreet and intimate service... This is the winning combination of Maison Noura.

Dar Mima
Jamel Debbouze partnered with Paris Society to reveal a address in tribute to his mother. It's on the roof of theInstitut du Monde Arabe what throne Dar Mima, the house of Fatima where you will be able to taste its secret recipes, in a flamboyant setting imagined by star designer Laura Gonzalez.
Today, it is a real Oriental Palace with a modern spirit that is revealed, in this symbolic place for Jamel and Fatima Debbouze. Here, Fatima delights us with her dishes inspired by North African and Oriental cuisine. We then discover essential dishes such as zaalouk for fans of Moroccan cooked salads, the pastilla, tajine or againirresistible couscous, a sweet sin of the French. The famous mint tea will complete your meal, accompanying Moroccan delights. We also find a beautiful cocktail menu with spicy flavors, for aficionados of the genre. Finally, at nightfall, Dar Mima becomes more festive with an oriental atmosphere with the added bonus of live music 3 to 4 evenings a week... The plus? The terrace in rooftop which reveals itself like a verdant Mediterranean garden.
