RESTAURANT FAMILIAL - KEMIA BAR - Mo’cAFE

2

« My success in Paris, London, Beirut and Dubai led to many partnership offers from entrepreneurs and investors. I always resisted the temptation of an easy expansion, instead focusing on developing my places and expertise with discernment and no sense of urgency. I need to feel and experience the spaces I create as they come to life. I’m not a chef and I’m not a businessman with a multitude of chain restaurant brands either. I’m a restaurant owner, food is the central element, and what I care about is the heart and soul of each and every restaurant I create. I wouldn’t be content with just replicating a certain style like a formula.»

« Momo at the souks»

An Oriental Brasserie and a Lounge Bar right in the heart of the Souks of Beirut. The refined concept combining North African, French and Lebanese home cooking cuisine together in an authentic yet contemporary space, reflecting the identity of both its creator Mourad Mazouz and Beirut’s energy. The food follows the savoir-faire acquired in London, Paris and Dubai. Simple in their composition, the dishes put the accent on taste and flavors.

Momo unfold into an open main area, divided into two spaces: the oriental Brasserie and the café - Lounge Bar. The perfect proportion of Mauresque architecture conversing with the very contemporary frame-set was a challenge yet essential to fit the settings and Momo’s spirit. The oriental Brasserie can accommodate 88 persons. Vibrant patterns, dynamic perspectives and quirky furnitures warm up the atmosphere giving comfort with a seducing and dazzling twist. The space opens to a Mediterranean garden with a well balanced of shade and natural light creating an opened yet intimate feel. The terrace can host 100 persons The café – Lounge Bar can accommodate 70 persons inside and 100 persons outside. A deliberately softer, cozy and airy atmosphere to socialize and relax over a selection of cocktails and mezzes. Leading to a sheltered garden terrace rich with landscape where people can enjoy their meals luxuriously overlooking the souks and retreat from the tumult of the city.

In the local context, he chose to develop a new and untapped niche with an upmarket restaurant aimed at a clientele of persian Gulf Arab families, and to prove that a restaurant that doesn’t sell alcohol can still be profitable. It opened in June 2006 and has been yet another great success for Mourad Mazouz.
