Welcome to Café Phoenicia Phoenicia, cradle of the Mediterranean cultures, traces back to the first millennium BC Phoenicians who were the first to invent the alphabet and first to navigate through the Mediterranean Sea. Through their travels, commerce and sharing of knowledge, they influenced the development of many prominent cultures, such as Roman, Egyptian, Greek and Lebanese. Majestic Phoenician Temples and magnificent ruins throughout the Mediterranean remain a great testament of their superb talents and exceptional achievements. Their invaluable crafts and artifacts, carefully preserved, hang on the walls of our museums. Their treasured recipes, carefully guarded and handed down for generations, hang on the walls of our kitchens.
