    Looking for an authentic Lebanese restaurant with excellent food, decor & outstanding views of the Mediterranean Sea? Look no further than the "Moon Over Zouk" restaurant in the heart of Zouk Mikael. Saturday nights they have a live Oud player and always have Hookahs (water pipes) to accompany meals. Try the Marinated Chicken plate; pricey by Lebanese standards but around $15.00 USD...HUGE portions, fresh and perfectly tender & flavorful! Great service, as well. Virtually empty at lunch, but same menu & great service. Nearby "Vivaldi Cafe" is under same ownership; more laid back for the younger/casual crowd.
