Al-Bassa Mediterranean Cuisine

Monctonians are adventuresome when it comes to sampling international cuisine, as the many thriving area restaurants of global fare can attest to! A new culinary star on the horizon is Al-Bassa Mediterranean Cuisine, which carries fine examples of tasty treats at the Marché Moncton Market on Saturdays. A choice menu of delicious hummus, kibbe, and taziki brings a delightful taste of Lebanon to the market with such favourites as garlic, sweet red pepper, sun-dried and basil, dill pickle, and olive hummus served on tiny crackers just perfect for your next get-together. Stuffed grape leaves, cracked wheat and meat kibbe, taziki, and yogurt and sour cream are all brought to you from the kitchen of Jean Faddoul, who, says “I love to cook. It is my hobby, and I am pleased to share my cooking with fellow Monctonians at the market.” Very well received by area market-goers, Jean would love to bring an expanded menu of Mediterranean dishes to the public on a full-time basis, and it is his dream to someday open his own restaurant. Exotic, tasteful, and extremely healthy, this menu is perfect for today’s busy lifestyles and health conscious patrons.

Visit Jean’s booth at the market on Saturdays and take advantage of the wonderful and unusual tastes from the sunny shores of the Mediterranean Sea – you’ll be surprised and delighted!
