Amuse Bouche
Mediterranean Seafood Puff
At first glance, thought it was a dessert; Never expected the appetizer to look this beautiful! The golden crispy pastry resembles a puff, filled with tangy and sweet Mediterranean seafood. It's both crunchy and creamy, giving a refreshing experience.
Starter
Oyster Sumac Sauce
Freshly opened oysters are always attractive, and this time they are specially paired with Middle Eastern spice sauce (Sumac Sauce) for an even bigger surprise. Sumac is a fruit from the Mediterranean region, with a light sour and slightly astringent flavor, ground together with berries and lime to make a spice powder. The rich layers of flavor paired with the briny oysters offer a unique taste experience.
Halloumi Watermelon Salad
It's not often to see watermelon in a salad, and it's sweet and refreshing, perfect for summer. The cheese isn't the usual Parmesan cheese but rather the unique halloumi cheese, which is firm on the outside and soft on the inside, giving a distinct sweet and salty flavor.
Cold Mezze
Hummus Octopus
This set menu also features the locally famous hummus, which has a creamy texture and a delightful chickpea flavor that isn’t too rich to be overwhelming, making it enjoyable even for those who usually don’t eat legumes. When paired with the chewy octopus, it's both creamy and springy!

Tiger Prawns with Harrah Sauce
“Maison Du Mezze” uses foreign ingredients throughout the restaurant, making the seafood particularly fresh and sweet. Combined with the spices and sauces typical of Mediterranean cuisine, every bite offers a memorable variety of flavors. For example, the tiger prawns are already very fresh, and when paired with the Arabic harissa sauce, the chili, spices, and fruits give a deep spiciness, complemented by the lingering flavor of lemon and garlic.
Baked Barramundi with Lemon Garlic
When eating fish, we usually focus on the fish flavor, but Lebanese cuisine brings more variety. The famous tender Australian barramundi is grilled until the skin is crispy, then drizzled with a lemon and garlic sauce, creating a memorable tangy and flavorful effect. Plus, the oven's heat is strong enough to make the skin crispy while keeping the fish meat very tender.
Sweet Ending
Qatayef with Ice Cream
The final dessert is also a surprise, not just an ordinary cake, but rather the golden dumplings eaten by locals during Ramadan. The outer layer is fried to a golden, sweet crisp, while the inside is filled with rich, slightly salty cheese, which is something you rarely get to eat in Hong Kong.
