Today weâre traveling across the culinary globe to Lebanon with the help of Amar owner Nicolas Kurban. The quaint modern Mediterranean bistro, which opened earlier this year, invites you in to indulge and savor traditional homemade food: the same dishes Kurbanâs mom use to make for him to enjoy after school in Lebanon.
Lebanese food revolves around family and sharing; sitting around the table for endless hours. Thirty-minute dinners donât exist in this dining tradition. Thereâs a connection with the food and with everyone else at the table.
Amar Mediterranean Bistro, featuring modern twists on traditional Lebanese cuisine, will open to the public on Thursday, Jan. 28, on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach. The bistro comes from Nicolas Kurban, who gave up his globetrotting career working with celebrity chefs Bobby Flay, Michael Mina, Wolfgang Puck and Thomas Keller.
