🇱🇧 Lebanese Heritage Takes Center Stage in Melbourne!
ZAREH Named Gourmet Traveller’s Restaurant of the Year
A proud moment for Lebanese heritage on the international culinary stage! 🇱🇧❤️
ZAREH, the Melbourne restaurant founded by chef Tom Sarafian and Jinane Bou-Assi, has been named Gourmet Traveller’s Restaurant of the Year, marking an extraordinary achievement less than a year after opening its doors.
Rooted in both Armenian and Lebanese heritage, ZAREH brings together family, tradition, hospitality and the rich flavours of the region in a dining experience that feels deeply personal.
For Tom Sarafian, the restaurant is described as a love letter to Lebanon, while Jinane Bou-Assi brings her own Lebanese family story and heritage into the heart of the restaurant.
The recognition is more than just an award — it is a celebration of identity, culture and the powerful way food can carry a homeland across borders. 🇱🇧🇦🇲
In less than a year, ZAREH has already made history and placed Lebanese heritage at the very top of Australia’s dining scene.
Congratulations to Tom Sarafian and Jinane Bou-Assi on this incredible achievement! 🇦🇲🇱🇧❤️
