Lebanese Bistro in Melbourne Pub

Step into the historic Grandview Hotel in Fairfield, where Melbourne’s pub charm meets a bold Lebanese culinary revolution. The El-Fahkri family, longtime owners, teamed up with acclaimed chef Eddy Hasbany—ex-Rumi—to launch Sama, a smoky, modern Middle Eastern bistro. Led by Rumi alum David Gonnella, the menu dazzles with charcoal-grilled Levantine classics: spiced lamb hummus, smoky baba ghanoush, and a standout harissa-marinated chicken with roasted corn salsa. At just $65, the four-course banquet is a steal, paired with curated Bekaa Valley wines and cardamom-laced cocktails. Best of all? The pub’s front bar stays open—so sip your pint, then savor the skyline of Lebanese flavors. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
