Culinary Delights Await at Dar El Zaytoon – Restaurant Opening Summer 2025

Kfour, South Lebanon – Summer 2025
Dar El Zaytoon, the newly opened guesthouse nestled in the heart of Kfour, is excited to announce the launch of its restaurant this summer. Offering a unique dining experience, the restaurant will celebrate the rich culinary traditions of Lebanon and Italy, uniting them under the symbol of the olive tree—a shared emblem of heritage, culture, and taste.

Set amidst a serene grove of 1,000 olive trees, the restaurant is more than a place to eat; it is a celebration of flavors, traditions, and community. Guests will enjoy dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients, reflecting the authenticity of Lebanese cuisine, while savoring the classic elegance of Italian recipes. Whether it’s fresh tabbouleh paired with wood-fired pizza or kibbeh alongside handmade pasta, each plate tells a story of connection and creativity.

“We wanted to create a dining experience that reflects the essence of Dar El Zaytoon,” said Jamal Makke, visionary architect and founder. “The olive tree not only ties Lebanon and Italy culturally but also serves as the centerpiece of our concept—where history, nature, and gastronomy come together.”

The restaurant features both indoor and outdoor dining spaces. Guests can choose to dine in the rustic interior, adorned with antique decor that echoes the guesthouse’s vintage charm, or under the shade of the olive trees, where the tranquility of nature enhances the culinary journey.

Key Features of the Dar El Zaytoon Restaurant:

• Lebanese-Italian Fusion: A menu crafted with care to blend the best of two culinary traditions.

• Ambiance: A choice between the cozy warmth of antique indoor spaces or the open-air serenity of the olive grove.
• Cultural Connection: Each dish celebrates the historical and symbolic significance of the olive tree, uniting Lebanon and Italy in flavor and spirit.
