Neomonde Shines

Mediterranean eatery Neomonde is renowned for its fresh breads and pastries, which are baked fresh daily. It also features an extensive market filled with superb imported foods and spices. 

Christopher Saleh, whose family started the business in 1977, manages the Morrisville location and speaks of Neomonde with infectious enthusiasm.  He was born and raised in Raleigh, but his family hails from north Lebanon. 

Among the Middle Eastern delicacies featured at the café are items like the beef & lamb Shawarma sandwich and the Neomonde platter with tabouli, hummus, baba ghanouj and stuffed grape leaves.

Neomonde is open daily for lunch and dinner. Free WiFi Internet access is available.
