The original concept for Levante's originated in 1984, in Austria with a mission to introduce the foods from the eastern mediterranian region in a casual, full-service restaurant format.
Levante's proved so successful that consequently other locations have since opened, making Levante's one of the most successful chain restaurants in Europe with a high level of repeat patronage and strong customer loyalty.
Levante's operating experience has also created a comprehensive franchise program. In 1994 Levante's began to offer limited franchises to qualified applicants worldwide. The first Levante's restaurant in the U.S. opened in February, 1998 in Bethesda, Maryland.
