Three Aleppo-born brothers run this small bistro that has topped the MENA's 50 Best list for years (No. 4 in 2026) and reads more like a chef's playground than a Levantine restaurant. Order the tasting-style small plates and leave room for the pastry brothers' desserts, which are the real showstopper. The catch: tables are released online and get snapped up within minutes, so you often need to book weeks ahead.
