The story

Lafeh: Lebanese Street Food in Central Brussels

The kitchen behind the counter

Lafeh brings authentic Lebanese cooking to a quiet corner of Brussels. Ziyed Moncer and Youssef Assi left conventional career paths to run the kitchen. Moncer previously worked in digital marketing, while Assi spent time refining techniques at Georges Baghdi Sar. They apply that same discipline to every wrap, treating Lebanese street food like a proper meal served from noon until midnight.

Flavors built for sharing

Orders roll out onto the cobblestone street as the team prepares Lebanese wraps with toasted flatbread. Guests typically choose between crispy falafel made from golden chickpeas or slow cooked chicken and beef shawarma. Each plate arrives with diced tomatoes, pickled onions, fresh herbs, and a generous smear of toum garlic sauce. Vegetarians often select the grilled halloumi option, which pairs well with the house fries.

Late night recognition

The steady stream of customers reflects why Le Fooding selected Lafeh for its 2026 guide. Critics noted how the venue restores late night shawarma to its rightful place in the city. Service continues until midnight, giving diners enough time to finish their main plates before ordering the achta ice cream. The dessert delivers delicate notes of pistachio and orange blossom to close out the meal.
