Liza
Paris, France
Liza is a Lebanese restaurant at 14 rue de la Banque in Paris’s 2nd arrondissement, identifiable as the Paris site of the Liza business rather than its Panache branch in the 9th. The official site presents it as a restaurant and delivery operation open for lunch and dinner through most of the week, with a Sunday brunch service, while the MICHELIN Guide also lists it in the same address and categorises it as Lebanese cuisine. According to the restaurant’s own pages, Liza centres its cooking on Lebanese mezze designed for sharing, alongside grilled dishes and menu formats for lunch, dinner and brunch. The menu language stresses fresh produce and recipes that are reworked with care, rather than a fixed bistro formula, and the site also notes options for smaller parties, larger tables and private hire. The dining room is described by the MICHELIN Guide as bright, with Middle Eastern touches, and by the restaurant itself as a joyful, festive setting for meals with friends or family. MICHELIN highlights that the kitchen gives pride of place to dishes from Beirut, with vegetarian choices and a selection of Lebanese wines, which helps define the character of the room as a contemporary, urbane take on Lebanese dining in central Paris. Liza therefore reads as a neighbourhood restaurant with a broad service profile: sit-down meals, brunch, take-away and delivery, plus arrangements for private groups. Its appeal lies in the combination of Lebanese sharing plates, grilled specialities, and a decorative style that aims to evoke Beirut without feeling thematic or formal, making it a distinct Paris address rather than a generic Mediterranean venue.
