Le Mechoui, whose name references the traditional Levantine method of charcoal-grilling, has built a following in Zone 4, Marcory, for the quality and authenticity of its Lebanese grill. The menu leads with mezze, hummus, tabbouleh, and mtabel, followed by charcoal-grilled meats, fish, and grilled haloumi, prepared with attention that regulars single out as a cut above some of the district's other Lebanese options. The setting is comfortable rather than showy, with indoor and covered outdoor seating suited to both a business lunch and a relaxed dinner. Prices are upper-mid-range, with mezze and mains typically 4,500-12,000 XOF. Service is attentive, and the kitchen's focus on grill quality means dishes are generally prepared to order rather than pre-made, so meals can take a bit longer during busy periods.
