The interior of Tawlet Cafe in Beirut. Meaning "kitchen table" in Arabic, Tawlet opened in November 2009 as an extension of Souk el Tayeb, a Saturday morning organic farmers market. Established in 2004 by Kamal Mouzawak, the son of a farmer who has spent years scouring Lebanon for disappearing foodstuffs, the souk is helping to not only bridge the gap between Lebanon's urban and rural, but bringing people from once-warring religions together. Each day the producers prepare the specialty dishes from their region at Tawlet, including some which Beirutis haven't seen for years.
