The first of the acclaimed Noura chain of restaurants to be set up in Britain, Noura Belgravia is a spacious and stylish dining space that effortlessly manages to combine contemporary décor with traditional Lebanese cuisine. Located on Hobart Place in Belgravia, the restaurant started by two enterprising brothers, features an elegant beige décor with rich furnishings and an elaborate bar area at one end. The food is a mix of brasserie style quick bites served at lunchtime and more formal, fine dining during the evening.

The a la carte menu includes starters of hot and cold mézzes such as batrakh, a traditional dish of boutargue fish roe with garlic and olive oil, moudardara, lentils and rice served with fired onions, and mousakaat banjan, baked aubergines with tomato and chick peas. Main courses include grilled sea bass served with olive oil, marinated and grilled lamb cutlets, charcoal grilled lamb skewers and kafta meshwiyeh- minced lamb with parsley, pine kernels and onions.

There are also exotic desserts of knafeh bel jebn, granulated pastry on melted cheese with warm syrup and ossmalieh, caramelised wheat filled with clotted cream.
