This is one of my favorite casual lebanese restaurants in Beirut. This particular place attracts crowds of all ages, and is known for its tasty food, friendly ambiance and not-so-expensive lebanese food! I have rarely passed by this place, at any time or any season and seen it not busy! Actually, a lot of times, they ask you to wait around for them to find you a table to seat you...but its definitely worth it :) The restaurant is designed like an old lebanese house..they have wooden panels in the walls, old photographs on the walls, rustique ceramic tiles on the ground..even the bathrooms are nice to check out!! All in all, this place has it all! Delicious inexpensive lebanese food, friendly waiters and good shisha :)
Favorite dish? Ooohh! That's a hard question..but make sure you don't miss out on: 1- Fattoush: the traditional lebanese salad with summak. 2- Fatteh: there are two types of fatteh served: one has chickpeas and yoghurt in it..and the other has eggplant and yoghurt and pine seeds.(It tastes SO much better than it sounds) 3- Batata Harrah: which is fried cubes of potato with garlic, coriander, salt and some hot pepper (YUMMY!) 4- Motabbal batenjan: This is minced eggplant with Tahina and lemon juice and garlic and salt. For those that like hummus..this is something that is similar but with eggplants instead of chick peas. And soooo much more ;-) DONT forget the shisha!!!!

I have been to this place SOOO much with my friends, that one day we realized that we spent more time hangin' around that place, then we did at home...and so, we called it 'The Living Room' ;-) After work, we'd head out for an late lunch or an early dinner, then a great shisha! The place is casual and friendly..and on the menu you can find everything from the Lebanese mezza and barbecue: meat, chich taouk, ... to the italian pasta, a great club sandwhich or Phily steak sub...The food is good, the waiters and managers are extremely friendly (well, to us now they're kinda like family :-P)..and the prices are very reasonable. And DON'T Forget the shishaaaaa ;-)
Hmmmm...let me think... They have excellent salads: Cobb Salad, their Tabbouleh and Fattoush are also great... Lebanese: - warak Inab - the rice filled grape-vine leaves! Yummy! - Mtabbal batinjan - The minced aubergine with tahina is also excellent. - The barbecue dishes are very tasty as well. Other: (generous quantities) - Club sandwich is very tasty (ask RouFs on VT :-P ) - HUGE burger...it kinda has a different taste than those at the fast food places...more spices in the meat i think. I'm SURE you will find something to your liking...

 Good food, great view by TheWanderingCamel A dark little cave of a place hanging right on the water's edge, La Paillotte serves good fresh fish, simply cooked in a pleasantly relaxed setting. The staff are friendly and helpful. This is a popular place with local people, with a reputation (borne out in our experience) for serving good food. Get a window table if you can and listen to the water slapping against the side of the building. Eat early and watch the sun go down - all very atmospheric.
You can choose your fish from the display on ice or order a set menu of mezze and the fish of the day. Either way is good value.

Located right next to AUB, this restaurant is an old well-known casual restaurant that serves a variety of traditional dishes and desserts, and has daily dishes that taste like they've just come out of 'mama's' kitchen ;-) The atmosphere is really casual, and you can choose to select your food and 'take-away', or sit down and enjoy your lunch there, while watching the bustling Bliss Street.
So many delicious dishes, and I have listed a lot of items with their corresponding prices below...one thing I highly recommend, and I have found no place in Beirut offers a tastier version of this cake, is the Cortina (Chocolate cake with eclair-like balls covering it on top). So, if you have a birthday to go to ... this cake is GREAT! Note that 1 USD = 1500 LBP Pasties (by the dozen): Fatayers 5000 LBP Mini Pizza 5000 LBP Cheese Rissole 8000 LBP Lahm Bi Aajin 8000 LBP Kebbeh Balls 8000 LBP Salads: Tabbouleh 3000 LBP Garden Salad 3000 LBP Exotic Salad 5000 LBP Niçoice Salad 5000 LBP Greek Salad 5000 LBP Plat du Jour (Daily Dish) Chicken Gratins 6000 LBP Spinach Crepes 6000 LBP Kafta & Mashed Potatoes 8000 LBP Moghrabieh 8000 LBP Mexican Chicken 8000 LBP Chich Taouk 8000 LBP Kebbeh Labnieh 8000 LBP Sweet & Sour (Chinese) 8000 LBP Kebbeh Sanieh 8000 LBP Stuffed Lamb 8000 LBP Mouloukhieh 8000 LBP Roast Beef & Vegetables 8000 LBP Strogonoff 8000 LBP Show Ming (Chinese) 8000 LBP Turkey 8000 LBP Chawarma 8000 LBP Stuffed Chicken 8000 LBP Stuffed Vines 10000 LBP Kebbeh Arnabieh 10000 LBP Sayadieh 12000 LBP Shrimps & Curry 12000 LBP Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: Bliss StreetPhone: 01-363011 / 01-364150 / 01-36415Directions: If you plan to visit the American University of Beirut, Bliss St. would be the main street right in front of it . It is located at the end of this street, next to the peripheral gate of AUB, right next to Hardees.

 AL DENTE by sarrahh This is where one goes to enjoy the best Italian cuisine one can find in Lebanon. In the menu is an endless variety of fresh pasta dishes and savory risottos. This restaurant enjoys a very unique setting. On the ground floor of a very old Lebanese building it has high ceilings clad in the beautiful authentic plasterwork. Frescoes line the walls and rich curtains hang from above old wooden windows. This is a very recommended venue for private occasions such as dinners, engagement parties, birthdays, and even weddings.

 Beautiful! by TheWanderingCamel The setting is unbeatable - a narrow terrace right on the cliff-face looking straight at Pigeon Rocks. Be there at sunset. - perfect.
I'd say just have a drink - tea, coffee or excellent fruit juice (no alcohol). The food is pretty ordinary and there are plenty of better places to eat in Beirut. Because of that, I'm not going to give a price for a meal. A wonderful fresh lemon juice will cost you a couple of dollars - not bad for a million dollar view.
