Urban Bistro Em Sherif Cafe

The brainchild of Lebanese chef Mireille Hayek (also known as Em Sherif). Its executive chef is Yasmina Hayek, Mireille’s daughter. The chef uses traditional Arabic recipes, augmenting them with her worldview, which makes this food very memorable.

Our cafe guide recommends try anything that’s made from meat: from minced meat served with pomegranate or lemon sauce to shanklish and hummus with meat. Local hummus is considered one of the best in the region. And don’t forget to finish your meal with a coffee.

Fattet Maftoul: Spiced pearl semolina dough, yoghurt, crispy Arabic bread, toasted pine nuts
Hummus Snoubar: Chickpea dip, tahini, lemon, toasted pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil

What is GreatList

GreatList is an independent restaurant guide created by Alexander Sysoev. Establishments can have different formats and different audiences, but as long as the quality of their food and service is impeccable, and the atmosphere and values are outstanding — they can be added to GreatList.
Today, the guide is available in Russia and United Arab Emirates, and is available in Russian, English, and Chinese.

How the guide is assembled

The guide only lists the establishments that were selected by its team. Collaborative approach to the selection is the guide’s fundamental stance, so all the establishments have been collectively approved by the majority.
The establishments selected for the guide are allocated to one of the categories — fine dining, smart casual, city café, and bar.
The guide offers a selection of useful search filters and the encyclopedia of restaurateurs and chefs to learn the names of the heroes behind the best restaurants.

Why people trust our choice

The guide’s team consists of almost a hundred independent experts who visit the establishments anonymously and always pay for themselves. None of them are part of the restaurant industry, but they have a deep connection to it as a frequent guest. All of them are successful people who travel a lot and visit the most interesting projects around the world. This makes them extra savvy and knowlegable about gastronomic trends and classics.
