Burgundy

Beirut, Lebanon

The clue is in the name: this restaurant's wine cellar means business. The proprietors have spent years scouring France – in particular, the Bourgogne region – for the very best vintages, sure to thrill even the most serious of oenophiles: you can even purchase many of the pours to take away with you. But in no way is the cooking overshadowed by the drinking. Opting for one of the four tasting menus is the best way to experience the breadth of the kitchen's skills. A la carte options might include frog legs lifted by sage, wild garlic and cauliflower or a beautiful piece of grilled turbot with leeks and snow peas, finished with a richly indulgent dark chocolate souffle. The restaurant itself is elegant, with a wooden counter, contemporary lighting and a quiet buzz about it.
