A
Dar El Amar
The challenge at this popular Lebanese floating restaurant is to draw your eyes away from the Nile views long enough to make a choice from the 53 mezze on offer. Unlike many other eateries on the river, prices are reasonable and you don't have to be wearing designer glad rags to score a table. A Stella costs E£24.

Double Four
Offering mainly Lebanese dishes, the menu at Double Four tries to throw everything into the mix - Nigerian, Continental, a bit of Indian - so if you're unsure where to dine, this might be the place. It seems to work, as the place is always packed.

Sabaya
Lebanese cuisine is Egypt’s most common ‘ethnic’ food, but it’s rarely done as well as it is here, where the diverse and delicate mezze come with fresh-baked pillows of pita, and mains such as fatta are served in individual cast-iron pots. The setting is very sleek, but considering portion sizes are generous and sharing is the norm, the prices are not as high as you would expect.

Papillion
Rapidly acquiring the reputation of being Cairo's second-best Lebanese restaurant (after Sabaya), Papillion offers excellent mezze dishes (try the goat-milk labneh and vine leaf dolma) and delectable grills (we reckon it serves the best shish tawouq in the city). It also home delivers.

Diana Restaurant
This small, no-frills place favoured by Lebanese businessmen and expats is one of Monrovia's dining bargains. The menu features meat or chicken shwarma, felafel sandwiches, hummus, a large mixed grill platter and kofta, and there's also good pizza. It's between Carey and Broad Sts.

Byblos
This great Lebanese restaurant, with thatched garden pavilions and open-air ambience, has some of the best tabouleh and hummus in Niger. It's on the pricey side, but its large set meals for two people are decent value.

It’s nothing fancy, but this family-run operation rates highly for its scrumptious range of meze and Middle Eastern dishes, such as falafel, baba ganoush and hummus.

Upstairs Café
An unassuming place above Abi Jaoudi supermarket, and one of Monrovia's insider tips, with inexpensive Lebanese fare, plus omelettes, grilled platters, salads, pizzas and a Saturday afternoon buffet.
