Mezze opened its doors to the Portuguese public in September 2017, and in just over 7 months, it has become one of Lisbon’s most popular restaurants, offering Syrian cuisine cooked by refugees. The concept behind Mezze was to match newcomer’s skills with long-term employment, whilst providing workshops and discussion groups with the Portuguese public. It’s been so successful that to keep up with demand, Mezze will launch a catering service and next year, a new Mezze will open in Portugal second biggest city, Porto. For both the founders and staff, Mezze’s success proves that integration can be a positive exchange, providing benefits to both communities
