A little about this place
About Arbequina Restaurant
Arbequina is a modern Palestinian and Jordanian restaurant at 325 Roncesvalles Avenue, led by chef-owner Moeen Abuzaid, who visits tables to talk through the food. The menu runs à la carte or as a chef's prix-fixe covering most of the kitchen: za'atar bread with labneh, hummus with steak, truffle-and-mushroom mutabbaq, manti, Angus short rib, sea bass and a signature milk cake. The drinks list is zero-proof. The small, elegant room opens Wednesday to Sunday evenings, with a prayer space downstairs and a kids' prix-fixe for families.
Signature dishes
- House labneh
