In this episode of Hammy Eats, delivered by Mr D, Nick heads back to the Mother City, Cape Town, to visit one of the most talked-about bakeries in the city, The Lebanese Bakery.

From living in Cairo and falling in love with Middle Eastern food culture, to taking over the bakery in 2019 and transforming it into a Cape Town favourite, Clara shares a journey rooted in passion, resilience, and community.
The Lebanese Bakery has become famous for its authentic flavours, traditional Lebanese oven, fresh ingredients, and food that’s meant to be shared. This is Lebanese food done properly. Vibrant, warm, comforting, and deeply flavourful.
