Keserwan District, Lebanon
BRUT by Youssef Akiki
In the mountain village of Hrajel above the Keserwan District, BRUT by Youssef Akiki operates at the intersection of Lebanese terroir and contemporary technique. The kitchen draws directly from the agricultural landscape surrounding it, positioning itself within a small but growing cohort of Lebanese restaurants treating provenance as the starting point for every dish. It is one of the more compelling arguments for leaving Beirut's dining corridor entirely.
