For the last 15 years, he was able to revolutionize the Lebanese restaurant business with his unique culinary signature in Paris, Beirut, and London.

He has re-modeled Lebanese bistro restaurants like AU 29 and Liza, the casual restaurant Comptoir Libanais, and the high-end dining Fakhreldine, La Branche D’olivier, and Zabad, among others.
