I only have great things to say about Levant! It was one of the first restaurants we visited after the lockdown. We were warmly welcomed by the owner and had a meal as fantastic as the hospitality. We recently had occasion to visit again - the experience did not disappoint. Our server was attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful in choosing dishes to accommodate our dietary restrictions. The cocktails were refreshing and novel. The baba ganoush was deliciously smokey and enough that we came home with leftovers. My partner and I both enjoyed our (not) pizzas. The crust is reminiscent of pan pizza from your childhood with flavour combinations that highlight the best of middle eastern fare. I cannot recommend Levant enough!
