Frommer's Review
A spacious and modern restaurant just 1 block off the stylish Rua Augusta, Arabia serves up a range of favorites from Lebanon. In addition to the daily specials, there's a tasting menu that changes regularly. At R$38 (US$16/£8) it's a great way to sample some of the chef's best. The main menu includes Moroccan rice with roasted almonds and chicken, or the signature stuffed artichoke bottoms with ground beef, accompanied by rice with almonds. As an appetizer or a light meal, try the mezze, the Lebanese equivalent of tapas. Served for two, three, or four people, each tray comes with at least half a dozen tasters of the most popular dishes such as hummus, falafel, tabbouleh salad, and a generous serving of fresh pita.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
