Lebanese Taverna - Good Food Enjoyed in Good Company
Cafes Market Catering Cooking ClassesGift CardsAbout Us
Best Middle Eastern Cooking Classes

Lebanese Taverna holds public and private cooking classes. A great idea to celebrate a special occasion, a team building experience or group activity.

Class starts with wine and appetizers while you introduce yourselves and get to know your classmates. Then we get to work with the preparation of the menu. Our Chef is a master of his art and he truly enjoys sharing his knowledge and skills. The classes are "full participation" and use the hands-on approach as the best way to teach and get you involved in the cooking process. This one-on-one opportunity to work with the Chef gives the feel for what it is like to prepare the recipes so you can more easily repeat them at home. Class size is controlled so everyone has a chance to participate. Want to see what the class is like? View our photo album!

Cooking Classes are held at The Market located at 4400 Old Dominion Drive, Arlington, VA 22207. Classes begin at 6:45pm and ends at 9:30pm.
