It might not be the most beautiful time of the year for us, with all the snow slowly melting and our land being super muddy, but our sunrise and sunset views are still unparalleled!

AN ODE TO THE GODDESS KNAFEH

"Hail to thee, Knafeh
Mighty Goddess of the Yum
Divinity devoured
To particle and crumb

Knafeh, how they serve thee
On a sacrificial platter
Just glancing at your glory
Makes your acolytes grow fatter

They sn**ch thee back, Knafeh
From our jaws and from our grasp
And thrust thy rich deliciousness
Into oven iron-cast"

Lovely words by C.SE. Cooney

Nablus, our 3rd and last room, named after a Palestinian city bursting with flavour. Memories of a delicious cheese sprinkled with nigella seeds, and decadent layers of buttery, crispy pastry gently covering a cheesy bed, doused in sugar syrup, wrap you in a warmth in this room.

"Damascus, Dimashq
is a song I sing to myself.
I would findwhere she keeps her mouth,
meet it with mine,
press my hand against her palm
and see if our fingers match.
She is the sound, the feel
of coins shaken in a cup, of dice,
the alabaster clap of knight claiming rook, of kings castling — she is the clamour
of tambourines and dirbakki,
nays sighing, qanouns musing, the complaint of you merchants with spice-lined hands,
and there is dust in her laughter."

"أبحث عن فمها ليلتقي بفمي
أجمع راحة يدي إلى راحة يدها
أتأمل تطابق الأصابع
إنها ملمس النقود المعدنية ورنّتها
إذ تهتزُّ في فنجان نحاسي
إنها النردُ، تبييت الملك في لعبة شطرنج
طعق الخيّال على المرمر إذ يجتاح البرج
إنها صخب الدفوف والدربكَّة
تنهيدة الناي وتأملِّ القانون
إنها شكواكم يا عطّار، شكوى أيادي التجار
المصبوغة بألوان التوابل
أما ضحكتها فيشوبها الغبار يا عطّار."

Damascus, the room, is a whisper of love to an ancient city. A city where the sun kisses your skin.

We want our Damascus to wrap you in the same warmth of the Damascene sun!

"To Beirut
From the heart a greeting of peace to Beirut
and kisses to the sea and the houses
To a rock, like the face of an old fisherman.
She is from the people’s spirit, a wine
She is from their sweat, bread and Jasmin

لبيروت
من قلبي سلامٌ لبيروت
و قُبلٌ للبحر و البيوت
لصخرةٍ كأنها وجه بحارٍ قديمِ
هي من روحِ الشعب خمرٌ
هي من عرقِهِ خبزٌ و ياسمين"

The sun casts the most beautiful and warmest rays onto our riverside room, Beirut!

Doesn't this just make you want to cosy up with a warm cuppa and a good book?

We cannot begin to express how happy we are to have hosted the Lebanese Film Festival in Canada and their talented guests at O'bordeleau!

One of the things we pride ourselves on is these freshly baked Lebanese cheese & Zaatar pies that chef Rawan prepares for our guests as part of our Lebanese breakfast spread!

Their smell is known to act as a scrumptious wake-up call.
