“It gives the staff and management a sense of purpose, pride and motivation and keeps us tuned to the Hospitality and consumer trends and expectation.”

“We are proud to offer this good and healthy food to our guests and customers in a very warm and relaxed ambiance mixed with the traditional Fijian and Lebanese Bula and Marhaba (Lebanese for Bula) Spirit,” he adds.

With a motto like, ‘On Fiji Time’, the restaurant feel is nostalgic and retro to compliment the homely style of cuisine served.

Expect delicious and nutritious menu option serving freshly cold and hot middle eastern custom of Mezze (which involves sharing generous portions of appetizers among family and friends), and BBQ’s.

Open for lunch and dinner from 12pm to 9.30pm Wednesdays to Sundays weekly, Lebanese Executive Chef Georges Najm, recommends a mouthwatering traditional Lebanese Tabbouleh, hummus, fresh saj bread, Mashawi (charcoal grill) and the famous baklava and many other sweet delights.

Lebanese beverages available offering the perfect setting for family and friends to unwind and have a great time over laughs and delicious food.

“We introduced few Lebanese items to our Menu last year, and they were so popular that we decided to dedicate a full restaurant and a full genuine Lebanese Menu.

“We are very excited for the official launch and we look forward to welcoming our all guests,” says Andreas Reinhardt, at the Radisson Blu Resort Fiji.

Guest experience

Executive Chef Georges said: “With cuisine increasingly becoming a more significant part of the guest experience, we place great focus on the quality and service of our dining options and we look forward to continuing the trend to lift resort culinary experiences here in Fiji.”
