From delito bistro
Number 83 opened as a Lebanese deli, with a display counter and food served on trays. Then the dining room was redone, the sign changed to Bistrô meza libaneza and the menu changed too.
The pattern on the menu, in blue, red and cream, is also on the board outside and on the staff t‑shirts.
