The dining room at Beiteddine along Harriet Street in London’s Belgravia is a simple affair. Tables are arranged into three rows with stiff, starched tablecloths. Don’t be fooled, however, there is plenty on offer here besides an upscale dining room. The team offer great barbequed Lebanese meats, as well as tapas-style Lebanese hot and cold starters and fish prepared the traditional way. The kitchen serves authentic Lebanese cuisine to those hankering for something a little different in Belgravia. When you name your London restaurant after a palace famed for its huge, sumptuous feasts, there’s rather a lot to live up to. The team at Beiteddine at Belgravia’s Harriet Street are clearly aware of this, as their generous menu is complemented by an equally generous wine list, with an excellent selection of Lebanese wines and a handful of European bottles too. Occupying prime real estate in the Belgravia quarter between Sloane Street and Knightsbridge stations, the restaurant regularly fills up, especially towards the end of the week, so a reservation is strongly encouraged.
