Our Story

Rooted in the cedar mountains of Lebanon.

Rooted in the cedar mountains of Lebanon.

Tannourine takes its name from the cedar-crowned mountain town in northern Lebanon - a place where families gather around long tables, mezze never stops arriving, and grilled meats are charred over open coals. We brought that table to San Mateo. Every dish on our menu, from the slow-braised lamb shanks to the lemon-bright tabouleh, is built from family recipes and Mediterranean staples: olive oil, fresh herbs, garlic, and a generous hand. Come hungry - and leave like family.
