Smeed

Step into this Belmore bakery for a colourful and diverse take on ma'amoul (Lebanese biscuits). Amal Elhani and her daughter Serena Tajjour offer flavours that tap into current food trends – like a Dubai chocolate creation presented with crispy kataifi threads, pistachio cream and Australian nuts. Then there are more classic flavours, like ashta biscuits with traditional Lebanese clotted cream (available in pistachio and salted macadamia-Biscoff options, both sandwiched in Smeed's signature ma'amoul dough). If you need a caffeine hit, you can savour your sweets with strong brews of Lebanese coffee.
