About Lebanese Mezze Tile Tavern
Lebanese Mezze Tile Tavern distills the visual world of a c. 1950–1990 Levantine mezze house — built on Blatt Chaya and Beiti encaustic cement floor tiles. Deep cedar greens, the color of Lebanon's national emblem, meet arak-white plaster and arched stone arcades.
Pomegranate reds, brass mezze platters, and bilingual Arabic-Latin Naskh script complete a warm, handmade palette. Every surface is tiled, patterned, and matte — never flat, never cold, never cream.
