Casa Libanese in Lugano: from a counter in Via Concordia to a dining room in Besso
Casa Libanese is a Lebanese restaurant in Lugano, at Via Francesco Borromini 3 in Besso, behind the station: mezze, grilled skewers and halal food, with the shisha lounge next to the dining room and Abir in the kitchen since 2023.
Via Concordia
In 2023, Abir and Mokhtar Dia opened a Lebanese takeaway in Via Concordia, in Cassarate.
Abir, Mokhtar and Hassan
At the end of 2023, in Ticino by Night&Day, Abir, Mokhtar and Hassan said that “even before the art of cooking” they wanted to be “an (unofficial) embassy of Lebanon. Watchword: hospitality.”
“Born of a love for healthy, lively Lebanese food, we have committed ourselves to sharing this culinary treasure with the world.”
Today in Besso
Today Casa Libanese is in Besso, at Via Francesco Borromini 3, behind the station: a dining room and, next to it, the shisha lounge.
Abir has been in the kitchen ever since Via Concordia.
