“In Syrian culture, we can’t make any journey without first planning the food. If you decide to go to the cinema, you plan what you’ll eat. If you plan to visit your mother, you know that you’re going to eat. There’s no going out without eating something.”-Imad AlarnabImad Alarnab was a successful restaurateur in Damascus with three restaurants, plus several juice bars and cafes. In the war, Imad's restaurants were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety for his family. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time, and found even in the most challenging times, his passion for food and bringing people together to celebrate life was strong.

We decided to revisit the Dean St Townhouse as he hadn't been for over a year and were looking for somewhere for a New Years Day meal. It was as good as ever. The food was good quality and still had some old favourites on the menu The service was friendly but diligent The ambiance was magical We hope to visit again sooner next time
