Villa Yara is a Lebanese Restaurant & Garden built on the nostalgic tale of Yara. A fable character inspired by a song chanted by the famous Lebanese singer Fairouz. “Yara, the one with the golden locks. through them a lifetime sways and every star reveals its secrets….”

This old Georgetown home has been restored lovingly to reflect the memories of the 70s. A golden era for Beirut and Lebanon. We designed it to be, like the tale of Yara, elegant, funky, and feminine. Likewise, our love for the Lebanese food experience drove us to create and share a menu that is true to our home cuisine but includes many items that reflect our twist on the original. 

Villa Yara’ s food is made to be shared. We serve it in the Lebanese tradition of Mezza. Smaller plates to be enjoyed by all.
