Joseph's Brasserie is a Lebanese restaurant at 221 Kensington High Street, bringing the generous flavours and sociable spirit of Lebanese dining to Kensington. The menu moves comfortably from breakfast and brunch into lunch and dinner, making the restaurant suitable for anything from a quick manakeesh to an extended meal shared across the table. Traditional recipes sit at the heart of the offering, with plenty of vegetables, grains, yoghurt, herbs and charcoal grilled meats.
Breakfast and brunch choices include shakshouka, eggs with soujouk, foul, balila and msabha. Freshly baked manakeesh can be topped with zaatar, cheese, minced lamb, kafta or spiced soujouk. The cold and hot mezze selection continues with hummus, labneh, vine leaves, tabbouleh, batata harra, kibbeh and sambusek, alongside more distinctive plates such as lamb tongue and hummus topped with shawarma.
Fatteh combines toasted bread, chickpeas, yoghurt and pine nuts, with versions featuring aubergine, lamb, shawarma or kafta. Substantial home style dishes include shish barak lamb dumplings cooked in yoghurt, kibbeh bel laban, slow cooked lamb with rice, kafta with potato and tomato, mloukhiye, okra with lamb and baked kibbeh. These dishes offer the slow cooked sauces and comforting textures associated with a Lebanese family table.
From the charcoal grill come lamb skewers, lamb cutlets, kafta, shish taouk, baby chicken and mixed grills, while chicken and lamb shawarma provide familiar alternatives. Seafood choices include prawns, whole sea bass and fried red mullet, and adventurous diners can try fweregh, a traditional dish of stuffed lamb intestines. Lebanese sweets, coffee, arak and wines complete a menu designed for leisurely dining and sharing.
