Manakish Levantine Bakery

This unfussy, laid-back Middle Eastern bakery-cafe beckons you into its long space with the smell of sesame-crusted flatbread fresh from the oven. It then draws you in further with long glass cabinets of nougat and shelves of Middle Eastern groceries. Order some of the aforementioned bread to plunge into creamy labna or eggplant dip that sings with lemon. Lush Middle Eastern flavours resonate in the crisp falafels and garlicky fava beans. There are also tagines and tender shawarmas on the menu, along with simple pizzas and nifty haloumi pockets for the perfect grab-and-go lunch.
