The story
At Faraya, the kitchen is led by Chef Pierre Gabant, who brings a personal touch to Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine. The restaurant, located in Wemmel near Brussels, is a place where the flavours of the Levant are prepared with care and authenticity. The team prides itself on serving dishes that are both familiar and refined, reflecting a deep respect for the region’s culinary traditions.
Recognised with a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026, Faraya offers good quality, good value cooking that invites diners to return. The Bib Gourmand is a mark of accessible excellence, and here it confirms what regulars already know: the mezze, grilled meats, and fragrant spices are executed with skill.
Chef Pierre Gabant is the driving force behind Faraya. While the menu changes with the seasons, the commitment to bold, balanced flavours remains constant. Diners can expect a welcome that is genuine and unhurried, whether they are dining in, ordering takeaway, or having their meal delivered to one of the surrounding areas—including Laeken, Jette, Grimbergen, and Meise.
The atmosphere is relaxed, the service attentive, and the food unfussy yet memorable. Faraya is a place where Middle Eastern hospitality meets Belgian practicality, creating a dining experience that feels both special and effortless.
The cuisine at Faraya is firmly rooted in Lebanese and Middle Eastern traditions. From the smoky depth of baba ghanoush to the bright, herbaceous notes of tabbouleh, each dish is a testament to the kitchen’s dedication. The restaurant’s online ordering system, available for takeaway and delivery, ensures that these flavours reach homes across the region. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Lebanese food or new to its delights, Faraya offers a genuine taste of the region, prepared with the care that a Bib Gourmand demands.
