Our Story

LIRA brings an exquisite flavor of Lebanon and its rich culinary heritage to Wynwood Miami with transcendent flavors that have been passed down from generation to generation.

The restaurant embodies Lebanese modern art, music, and decor. The restaurant's exterior is inspired by the unique architectural Lebanese homes from the 19th century Ottoman Era. The aesthetics of the restaurant teleport you to a time in history when Lebanon was titled Paris of the Middle East with its fresh yet modern display of legendary Lebanese artists and designers.

LIRA's Vision

To preserve LIRA's authenticity, the team will continue to remain organic to Lebanon's main resources with the aim to support local farmers and producers in Lebanon alongside independent creative artists.

Meet the Founders

Lira House was founded by Giovanna Mansi, affectionately known as "Gigi," and Farid Lutfi, who brought their shared passion for Lebanese hospitality and cuisine from Lebanon to Miami.

Inspired by the vibrant spirit of mid-century Beirut, Gigi combines her love of food, art, and culture to create an authentic dining experience that celebrates the warmth and flavors of her homeland. Farid's passion for hospitality ensures every guest feels genuinely welcomed, turning each visit into a memorable experience.

Together with a team of Lebanese and Italian partners, Lira House reflects the rich traditions of both cultures. It's a place where exceptional food, heartfelt hospitality, and meaningful connections come together around the table
