About Us
Our restaurant is named for the magnificent Temple of Bacchus in the historic ancient Lebanese city of Baalbeck, dating back 5000 years, with its glorious temple dating back to the Roman period.
We have tried to carry the grandeur of this ancient city and its temple, be it on a much smaller scale, into our own Bacchus of Lebanon restaurant.
