This Lebanese restaurant was founded by the Siqueff-Febles family, made up by Don Jorge, well known chef, and his wife Doña Margarita, in a grand old house where they lived at the time. Among its most iconic dishes are the venison filet, fried kibi, fried chicken, and Huevos Motuleños (an egg dish made famous in Motul).
