Café Fenicia is a neighborhood Lebanese restaurant in Downtown Miami built around shared plates, serving 100% Zabiha Halal meat. The approach is mezze-forward: cold starters are meant to come out quickly and set the pace for a meal designed to be eaten slowly, over conversation.
The menu runs through familiar Lebanese staples made with some care — fire-roasted eggplant in the baba ghanoush, hand-rolled grape leaves (warak enab), kibbeh nayyeh and muhammara among the mezze, and a watermelon feta salata. Mains include shish kabob, shish tawook, and makanek, with knafeh closing things out on the dessert side.
The room is small enough that servers stay within easy reach of every table, and the pace leans unhurried by design — cold dishes arrive fast, but plates aren't cleared until guests are clearly done. Hookah is part of the experience here, meant to extend the evening rather than cap it.
