Welcome to Papa Hassan’s Café! The home of the best Lebanese cuisine in Orange County
Established since 1977, we continue to strive for excellence in honor of our father, Ahmad Hassan Haidar.
We carry on his time-tested recipes and techniques.
Papa Hassan’s recipes have humble beginnings from the time he was a very young cook in the French Foreign Legion.
Then, as a chef at the renowned Ajami Restaurant in Beirut, he perfected the art of cooking. His creativity led him to open his own restaurant in Beirut,
where he enthusiastically taught us, his sons, the art of cooking.
Thanks to his hard work and love, we came to Southern California.
As your hosts we are striving to uphold our family tradition of creativity and good taste.
We want you to enjoy your Lebanese experience and wish you a hearty and healthy “Bon Appetite.”
Mahmoud & Mustafa Hassan Haidar
