Why it matters
Why Zaitouna House is worth your time
Lebanese food is one of the easier cuisines for vegetarians in the Gulf, and a menu that marks vegetarian and vegan options helps families plan.
With only one guide to rely on, we have not applied a diet tag. It is a lead for travellers on Al Marjan Island rather than a verified vegetarian restaurant. For guests staying on the island, eating at a resort boardwalk avoids a road trip to the old town, which is useful after a long beach day with children or older relatives.

How to experience it
Square Yards lists Zaitouna House as a Lebanese restaurant on the boardwalk at Marjan Island Resort & Spa, open daily in its guide, and flags vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal options. The guide does not name dishes.
Lebanese menus commonly include hummus, moutabal, tabbouleh and falafel, but we have not seen this menu, so ask what is available. State whether you need dairy-free or strictly vegetarian food and ask whether stock and fryers are shared with meat.
Since it sits inside a resort on Al Marjan Island, it suits guests already staying nearby; non-guests should ask about access and booking.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Book ahead and confirm hours
- Ask about shared fryers and stock
- Ask non-guest access rules
- Request a table close to the entrance
