Stoped in Hannibal on road trip and checked Yelp - La Binnah looked like a spot to try - Called for table and was told full until 7:30 so we knew onto a good option. - was best meal we had on trip - highly recommended - seated on time and then taken care of by Camille - she took us through menu and helped with selection of Tiki and shrimp selections - just show up and she will take good care of you - how fortunate for a old river town to have a class restaurant read more

Due to the Wuhan virus I was pleasantly surprised to find this quaint but upscale restaurant open at all. We parked the car & before I could run in to check to see if they were open, the masked owner (I assume) came out to the car. When he realized we hadn't called in an order, he went in and bleach washed two menus for us. As for the food, it was excellent with entrees in the $30ish range. It was good enough that my wife ran out to grab us dinner the next night & went to the same place. It was just as good the second time around. read more

Yeah for sure. You'll not find any place like it in Hannibal. If you're craving something other then fried food and a can of Coors Light while you're in Hannibal, it's a must visit. It is probably one of the pricier places in Hannibal but it's also one of the classier. read more

I've been all over the US and this is a place worthy of any I've been to. A hometown treasure! A friend turned us on to this place and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience. As always I'm a straight shooter and give positive feedback and tell it like it is even if not everything is completely positive. I gave this place 5 stars because they deserve it. Excellent service, phenomenal building with tons of history and nostalgia. The name is genius, Hannibal backwards. Not just a couple of guys wanting to have a restaurant, but a extremely talented chef and some great scratch recipes. I'll start with the only meals that was disappointing was the Chicken Florentina. The chicken was cooked nicely, but the specific piece had bad pieces of fat or something making it not fun to eat. So from my standpoint they can't always control that, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, especially since everything else was phenomenal. My New Orleans Pork Chop was one of the best Chops I've had with incredible flavor and cooked to perfection with wonderful potatoes and asparagus. My wife's Garlic Shrimp was really tasty and big perfectly cooked with great flavor. My sisters salmon was seriously over the top great! Probably some of the best flavor and way excellent texture. The baklava is homemade and a recipe from one of the owner's grandmother, the Turkish Coffee crazy unique and full strength with some of the best coffee flavor. The Scottish Queen Cheesecake was one of the most perfect endings to a meal. Light and soft, moist and WOW!!! I would go back for sure, what a great place near our hometown read more

LaBinnah Bistro - Salmon farci - Mediterranean Near Me - Hannibal, Missouri

This place just looks like an interesting home from the early 1900s, but opens into a cozy dining room with locally-made artwork lining the walls. The waitress and owner were both attentive and helpful when choosing entrees. My husband ordered the Rocky Mountain Salmon and I had the Moroccan Shrimp which were on the Summer Selections Menu. Both meals came with potatoes and asparagus and were outstanding! My shrimp had a wonderfully warm, almost fruity curry! My husband's salmon filet was herb-crusted and perfectly cooked! We also ordered desserts; we tried the baklava and the Vienna cheesecake. The baklava was superb and the cheesecake was heavenly. This was a gem! What you pay for is what you get and this was worth every penny! We will definitely be back to this place!! read more

Wow! My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner here. Set in an old home, the decor is interesting and kitschy fun. We ordered the cream cheese appetizer and the hummus. Both were so good. We both had different varieties of the salmon entree. We split them In half to taste each other's. The salmon was plentiful and cooked to perfection. Served with potatoes and fresh green beans. Our server was friendly and attentive. We are so glad we stopped in on our road trip. read more

Very cozy atmosphere and an excellent steak. My one complaint is that the steak was huge but the sides were skimpy. I got 1 1/2 small red potatoes and 3 spears of asparagus. read more

A peculiar little restaurant in a peculiar little town. It seemed like a perfect choice for our visit to Hannibal, and we were mostly pleased with it. There are some great choices on the menu. Some selections are expensive, but the prices were fairly reasonable for the quality of what was served. I struggled with selecting a choice from all there was to pick from. I went with the Avatar Salmon. I don't know if that is one of their best dishes or not, but I really liked it. It seemed like the type of place where you couldn't go wrong with an entree. The portions seemed to be on the lighter side, but I might have just been really hungry as well. I didn't like the way they did drinks with soda cans, but it is a different type of place. The service was good with all of the staff seeming to take a group approach in tending to all of the tables in the restaurant. The decor is highly unusual, and they were playing an old movie. It was neat in a weird way. All in all, the food was unique and good. I would go again if I ever venture back to Hannibal. read more

I'll do the summary first: Great food, intimate atmosphere and excellent service. Four stars for food quality! I was glad we found LaBinnah Bistro through Yelp. This little eatery is located in a Victorian home on 5th street and has a dozen small tables covered with white tablecloths. From the moment we stepped onto their limestone entry steps and through the front door into the foyer with steep steps to a private area upstairs, we knew that we were in for an experience! There were three of us, and we quickly saw that there are two four-top tables and ten two-tops, which were quickly pulled together as needed to serve groups, while preserving the charm of the two-tops for couples. The tables are located in what appears to have been the original living room, parlor, and dining room with pocket doors pulled back to create a large dining area. We started with a bottle of Missouri red wine while we discussed our entree options. The menu featured so many appealing entrees it was hard to choose, but our server was very helpful in recommending the favorites. Many selections featured a Turkish spice flair, and Mediterranean options were woven into each course of the menu. The chef's house-made creations were fresh and had amazing layers of delightful flavors that just keep unfolding as you worked through the dish. We started with the Trojan salad, which has Feta cheese, olives (with pits!), tomato, cucumber, carrots and spinach, drizzled with homemade lemon dressing. We also shared a Caprese salad, with fresh mozzarella and tomato slices, sweet basil and balsamic vinaigrette. Our entrees included the "Avatar," Alaskan salmon sautéed with lemongrass and fresh herbs, Pan-tossed Garlic Shrimp with butter and lots of finely diced garlic, and a thick-cut African Peri-Peri pork chop, with exquisite peppery-but-not-too-spicy flavors of Africa. We shared with each other, and there were many "M-m-m-ms!" around the table. They also offer an extensive dessert list, and there were many attractive plates served to diners around us. Their menu states "Diners can enjoy the most Delicious entrees, Unique Appetizers and Decadent Desserts in our uninterrupted, unhurried relaxed environment in our fine dining, romantic restaurant in Hannibal, Missouri." Bottom line is that this is an authentic and unique fine dining dinner option. If you're hungry in Hannibal, LaBinnah Bistro is a sure bet! read more

I loved this place! I was passing thru this town on my way back to West coast. Stopped by before they closed, and had a delicious dinner. I loved the unique decorations, the atmosphere, and excellent service. Would take my family here for dinner if it was closer to home :)​ read more

Friday night on a weekend getaway in Hannibal. Looking for a nice place to eat. Wow! Surprised! We arrived early for its opening time, had nice conversation and good reviews from frequent guests. Charming inside dining or outside patio. We chose inside.. Ordered a Trojan salad and the African Peri-Peri, What a delicious meal!! It was the best pork chop I've ever had-- thick, but sooo tender. Delicious. Service was excellent. Totally enjoyable experience. Thank you. Dennis & Donna read more

Stumbled on this place tonight for my wife's birthday. So, so surprised at the quality of our dinner. Camille waited on us and did a wonderful job. I feel like the chef is worthy of cooking at any big town restaurant. Menu variety was amazing. Seafood was fresh. Taste was superb! Lovely old house with fun wall art. Can't wait to return. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!! read more

What a great hidden gem. Such a unique place, with a unique menu and great food. Really enjoyed this place.

This restaurant is a little off the main street of Hannibal. The owner of the B and B we stayed at is the chef. The menu is eclectic and international, with strong Mediterranean and French influences. Our server, Camille, was a delight. She gave the impression that she was personally glad we were there and was very helpful with answers to questions regarding the menu. There were many wine and beer options. I had a walnut/apple spinach salad, stuffed salmon and baklava. My husband had the lamb chop and cheese cake. Both were served on top of a generous slice of french bread with perfectly cooked potatoes and green beans. It came to the table hot and perfectly seasoned. Camille checked on us frequently to assure we had everything we needed and kept my tea glass full. It was amazing! Thank you Camille, Arif and Chris! read more

Hands down one of the best dining experiences of my life! LaBinnah (Hannibal spelled backwards) Bistro is located in the historic town of Hannibal next to the Mississippi River. The restaurant operates out a cute little house not too far from many of the popular attractions. I really enjoyed this experience because the staff really takes care of you and I in no way felt rushed. My waiter was very informative and took the time to explain the menu to me. The food itself has an international flair to it and they have a great selection of wine to choose from. I ordered the Bayou Chicken and savored every bite. In addition to the nice ambiance, LaBinnah has beautiful decor along with some great artwork. A wonderful dining experience and I look forward to stopping in again in the future. read more

Excellent food and drinks nice quiet place for a couples dinner night and the service is really good

Great food and service however be prepared lots of noise--needs sound attenuation badly. Steak, lamb and curried shrimp all cooked perfectly however tonight's vegetable, asparagus, was too al dente for most at the table. Probably the best dining option in Hannibal! Worth repeat visits. read more

If you are looking for fine dining cuisine with a unique Victorian atmosphere, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Upon walking into the restored victorian home, you'll be greeted by warm & friendly staff. There is a finite of space/tables available (30 tables)... So reservations are strongly encouraged. We got in on Wednesday night without a problem, 3/4. The atmosphere is very warm and quaint. Lots of beautiful old pictures on the walls with smooth 1930s and 1940s music, jazz music, playing in the background. Our host and server for the evening, Arif, was absolutely helpful, kind, and very prompt and efficient. Arif is also co owner of the restaurant. We had a great conversation with him and, I have to say, I definitely learned a lot about Turkish cuisine and even some Turkish culture. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the Tennessee pork with the bourbon and cinnamon rub. It was absolutely delicious. Five out of five. For dessert, I had the raspberry mango cheesecake. Also five out of five. Absolutely delicious. The bottom line: if you're ever passing through, or are staying, in Hannibal or the surrounding area, stop in at this nice quaint Victorian home containing wonderful cuisine and awesome staff. Bon appétit. read more

Several weeks ago I stopped here while heading to Minneapolis for the weekend. What a pleasant surprise to find this restaurant via the yelp app. I was dressed in road tripping clothes (as I was expecting a dinner of Taco Bell quality) but I was still made to feel comfortable in the restaurant. Every person in our group of four was pleased with the meal and the experience. I had the jerk shrimp and my only dissatisfaction was that the piece of french bread was completely soaked by the time I got to the last of the shrimp, so it was no longer appealing. However, the jerk shrimp was perfectly cooked and was very flavorful without being overpowering. As amazing as their desserts sound, I didn't have room after all the shrimp. Next time I'm saving room for the godiva chocolate cake! Also, a great bonus was the restaurant wifi, as my cell phone hardly had a signal in this area. read more

We loved this small bistro for a Sunday evening dinner. Interesting decor enhanced the wonderfully creative menu. It was hard to decide what to try and we regretted not being local so that we could get back here more often. My Istanbul Shrimp dish was unusual and delicious. He enjoyed his bourbon flavored pork chop. Side vegetables and potato were fresh and good. We shared one of their creative salads to begin the meal. House wine was reasonably priced and good. read more

LaBinnah Bistro - Mediterranean Near Me - Hannibal, Missouri

This is a must stop hidden gem in the small town of Hannibal. This is a big city style restaurant located in small town USA. -Extensive menu of awesome dishes. They offer many choices that should fit everyone's personal preferences. -The quality of what they serve here is some of the best. Huge steaks, the table next to me looked like a Chi/NYC steakhouse. They have king salmon on the menu, and the porkchops would make any pig farmer proud. -The spices and flavors are amazing! The peri peri pork chop was soooo good. -Dessert was delicious as well, got the cheesecake. If your riding by this is worth a stop, I was very satisfied and would highly recommend stoping here. read more

The Rockcliffe Mansion's owners referred us to this intimate Bistro down the (steep) hill from them. The menu featured so many tempting entrees it was hard to choose. Many selections used a Turkish spice palette. I settled on the 5 oz. lamb chop so I would be sure to have room for the highly regarded desserts. My husband selected West coast salmon. Both entrees were cooked perfectly and nicely presented with the vegetables du jour: a small potato with 2 nice-sized asparagus spears with a creamy yellow sauce that had a little kick to it. There were several choices of cheesecake and some layer cakes on the dessert menu. My husband and I decided to split one with a caramel/cinnamon topping. It was good but the portion was small for two people to share. read more

What a treat! My wife and I went to Hannibal for a weekend getaway and saw good reviews for LaBinnah Bistro. We started with stuffed grape leaves and each ordered different salmon entrées followed by cheesecake and Turkish coffee. The service was friendly and food was fresh and delicious. A great Saturday evening out, we recommend it to everyone. read more

Top notch cuisine, excellent dessert menu, and a wonderful ambience all make a great combination for excellent dining.

1. LaBinnah is Hannibal spelled backwards. Slap me sideways cuz I literally would never have recognized that without someone telling me. 2. LaBinnah is in an old house. So cozy up. 3. Go with an open mind. I visited this place while on holiday back home visiting my parents. My mom loves this spot and wanted us to experience it so we visited on the Monday before Independence Day. The place was very full but they we had a reservation so we were accommodated immediately. The wait staff was so friendly and welcoming and seemed happy to be working. The food was very well seasoned. Personally, I had West Coast Salmon which was on special. My hubs had a steak and my mom had a pork chop on special. I don't remember what pops had but I think it was some kind of salmon on special. Food was good all around and there were plenty of clean plates. Deserts were okay. The waiter recommended the Baklava... stating he had just made it that day. In hindsight, we should have ordered that and I wish now I would have. The decor is so quaint and charming. The couple that owns the place has really made it special inside and outside. Overall, the place was very charming and it was wonderful to experience. Who I WOULD recommend this place to: Someone open to a charming/small-ish environment with ambiance and care more about the quality of the food than just getting mass quantities of food. Someone seeking a special experience and has a palate to recognize and appreciate well-seasoned food and prepared food. Who I WOULD NOT recommend this place to: Someone who enjoys chain restaurants and getting piles of food on the cheap. Not that kinda vibe. Just being honest. read more

Lovely experience, great server, excellent food. Traveling through Hannibal and we are really glad we tried this establishment. We will be back to visit on or return trip! read more

Our favorite Restaurant in this area!! The best lamb chop I have EVER had!! We have been to the Paris Restaurant in Vegas and a few places in California, and their lamb chops do not come close!! Amazing! The service is superb!! We do not have one complaint! We can not wait to dine here over the holidays! read more

Great place. Food was fabulous! We had an appetizer, entrees and dessert. All was very good. Would highly recommend.

What a delightful find this gem of a restaurant was for my husband and I on our three-week driving trip in June. I checked Yelp for a dinner spot and up came La Binnah. We walked over and immediately were charmed by the lovely Victorian exterior which extended to the beautiful decor inside. We were welcomed warmly and enjoyed a most relaxing evening. We both agreed it was the most delicious meal and best service we had had in many months. First was an artichoke and spinach appetizer that was top notch following by a special salmon entree that was terrific. All I can say is that I wish this restaurant was near my home because we would become regulars. read more

Cannot say enough about this place. The owners Arif and Jim are lovely gracious hosts. The food is amazing! So much so that we began our girlfriend birthday celebration there and loved it so much that we chose to go back for our last meal of the weekend. Don't let the name fool you to thinking you need to dress up to eat there. People were either dressed nice or were wearing shorts and flip flops. All were welcomed with the same warm greeting by Arif and Jim. Support this lovely restaurant!!! I'm certain you will come again and again. read more

Wonderful, friendly service and the food is delicious. A truly pleasurable dining experience.

Very good fine dining, very cheap as well, just try to get there by 7pm, so you don't wait. Stuff and food are amazing

My daughter and I came here for her 22nd Birthday. We decided to have appetizers instead of entrees because we were just not up for a full dinner. The appetizers were amazing. They were large and absolutely delicious. We split a bottle of wine and it was yummy as well. When the chef heard it was her birthday he came out to wish her a happy birthday and to visit a while. Our waitress was very sweet. We ordered the coconut cake for dessert. They put a candle on top and made her feel very special. I would recommend this place for any special occasion. It is beautifully decorated and very intimate. read more

LaBinnah was a wonderful treat, and must be the best restaurant in at least 50 miles. We decided to check it out after two different people asked us if we'd been to LaBinnah (in response to our complaints about the food in the area). It's a cute place, small and run by a friendly and dedicated staff. We had to wait a bit, but it was worth it! We each had a different dish and each meal was delicious (the Mediterranean shrimp was great)! We all had the baklava for desert, not to be missed! If you're going to Hannibal, LaBinnah should be on your list! read more

Ever since we've discovered this restaurant, we save our appetite for steak only for the times we visit Hannibal - and only at this restaurant. LaBinnah Bistro serves grass-fed steak, perfect every time and in generous portions for the buck. We've even cut steak out of our dining adventures in our native Seattle knowing of what awaits us at LaBinnah Bistro in Hannibal, Missouri where we make our second home. Not only does this restaurant offer great eclectic fare in this old river town (where fried food is king), it is very popular with the local set of preservationists, artists, foodies and other urban types in the area. The food satisfies our occasional steak cravings and the regular crowd feeds our social life. A restaurant doesn't get better than that. As for the review by Scott B. - If you normally get your nose whacked out of joint from such innocent "crimes" as not being informed of a closing time, not being given a check after being asked if you required anything else, etc. (and this might not even be true), maybe you should do all restaurants and yourself a favor by not eating out at all. read more

This is probably the best restaurant in Hannibal although that doesn't mean much. One person ran the whole front-of-house on a Friday night. We waited for 15 minutes before we even got our drinks. Our server did apologize several times but we still waited forever. Our food was infinitely better than our previous two dining experiences in Hannibal but it was a mediocre meal at best. The decor is a giant eyesore. Gauzy material, faux candles, kitschy prints of Paris and cafes all on top of gaudy floral wallpaper. Luckily the lights are low so you don't have to see your surroundings (or your food). We ordered the hummus and pita chips. We also got the Chicken Florentina which was drenched in possibly three, but definitely two heavy sauces. The chicken was sitting on a piece of soggy bread... On purpose. Definitely not the best meal I've ever had but at least it wasn't fried! read more
