About

our Chef

Born in Byblos - Jbeil, Lebanon, our beloved Elias Azar moved to Paris at an early age. He started his career as a Lebanese chef and received some recognition with the famous Fakhredin et Pavillon Noura, Paris.

Along with his journey as a Chef, he opened several Lebanese brasseries and restaurants with the owner of Pavillon Noura. In 1993, Che Azar got invited to supervise the creation of the restaurant Lebanese Arabesque by Hotel President Wilson.

He was responsible for creating the menu, planning the kitchen, and also composing the team for the restaurant.

Chef Azar arrived in Geneva in May 1995 where he started the preparation for the grand opening of Arabesque in June 1995 and stayed for 21 years.

In February 2018, Chef Azar and his associate finally opened his own restaurant Azar & Co at rue de Lausanne 121, Geneva .

We are proud to be the first Lebanese restaurant in Geneva to receive the "Fait Maison" label.

All our dishes, from starters, and main courses, including our typical Lebanese desserts are fully created with care in our kitchen, using the freshest ingredients according to the criteria of the label "Fait Maison".

"Fait Maison" is a label made by the Federation of Fédération romande des consommateurs (FRC), GastroSuisse, La semaine du Gôut and SlowFood. It recognized that our restaurant has always freshly prepared all or most of its food in our own kitchen. The dish we served is prepared entirely on-site from raw ingredients or products traditionally used in cooking.
