BASIL

Founded by Raif Antar in 2005, after moving to Charlottesville, VA from the Washington DC area, Basil presents an enticing culinary experience, reflecting the rich regional diversity of the Mediterranean. We are proud to share our culinary philosophy, which advises us to slow down from our hectic lives and enjoy thoughtful, masterfully produced food with like-minded people. Food is about creating harmony with the ingredients. We hope every dish tells you a story about the region.
