About Al-Mayass:

The flagship Almayass Restaurant is located in the heart of Beirut and came into being in 1996 when the owners, the Alexandrian family, decided to introduce their Lebanese á l’armenienne mezzé recipes and specialties to food lovers all over Lebanon. Nestled in what was once an ancient villa that has been internally modified to fit a restaurant, Almayass is located in Ashrafieh, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Beirut. The age-old architectural features are still preserved, giving the rustic restaurant hidden behind climbing plants and reddish tiles the intimate atmosphere in which to experience Mediterranean dining at its finest.

In the past sixteen years, Almayass has come to establish itself as a staple amongst Lebanese Armenian cuisine, expanding its presence beyond Beirut to locations including Kuwait and Abu Dhabi, and with restaurants in Qatar and Riyadh soon to open.

We hope you join us for a fun night out at this new Lebanese-Armenian Restaurant and Lounge!

EuroCircle Houston is co-hosting its June get-together with the Texas Young Professionals (TYP) and the World Affairs Council.

Join us at Remington Bar in the St. Regis Hotel on June 21st from 5:30pm – 7:30pm.

A well-known Houston bar, Remington Bar that offers sophisticated nightlife and high-end mixology. As written in the CultureMap.com’s Low-Down: “If only walls could talk. At The Remington Bar, stories abound about the two decades worth of corporate moguls, high-priestesses of society and international A-list celebrities, intellectuals and royals who have made this cosmopolitan lounge their Houston salon. And while the plush booths and cozy, art-filled side rooms invite scintillating private conversations, live music on the weekends draws people onto the dance floor.

Housed in the elegant St. Regis Hotel, the Remington takes advantage of the hotel’s culinary acumen by offering a menu that incorporates classic European bistro panache with the imagination of New American cuisine. The juicy hamburgers would satisfy any cattle baron – but first, try one of the bar’s signature infused-vodka martinis. Think 1920s Algonquin with a contemporary Texas twist.”

Be sure to invite your friends and co-workers to our largest event yet!
