SALAH Farrage has
brought North °
Vancouver its first taste
of Lebanon.
- And a refreshing taste it is.
His Byblos Cafe and Deli is
a modest Lower Lonsdale -

Farrage’s gracious hospitality
and the cosmopolitan
Mediterranean cuisine of
Lebanon.

Lighter than Greece’s rice,
potato and lamb-heavy dishes,

cilantro, mint, lentils, chick
