Beirut Restaurants

On the top floor (12th) of the hotel Le Vendome there is Sydneys Restaurant. A breathtaking view, the design reminds me english style, very elegant, with a very long catalogue to choose between hamburgers and pasta to labanese style meat and delicious sweets.
Also i have to notice to parents that this restaurant is very friendly to kids. They have high chairs, they help and they are very kind and helpful.

Favorite Dish: Risoto.

On someone's reccomendation (thank you doctors), I checked this place out. After living in Hawai'i for 3.5 years, my sushi standards are high. Le Sushi Bar delivered. With very well prepared clean fish and a decor to be seen, it should be your lone stop for sushi in Beirut.

Great little Italian restaurant in Beirut. It is in the same building as the Bayview hotel on the Corniche, right next to the Hard Rock Cafe. It's small and has everything Italian one would expect. The seem to always have something going on, even karaoke on some nights.

Favorite Dish: Good Pasta!

Leon De Bruxelles opened up recently in Beirut. For all those mussels lovers, this is the restaurant to visit. This Belgian restaurant offers mussels in all its forms: out of casserole, with gratin, with pastes or even cooked in po?lon.

This is a cosy restaurant...but only for mussels lovers..

Favorite Dish: mussels...need i say more?

One of the first and most notorious restaurants of Gemmayze, a very beautiful area in Beirut.
Lebanese authentic dishes serving breakfast and lunch.
You always find tourists there especially from Europe.

Favorite Dish: Sayadieh, usually served on Fridays at lunch,
consisting of rice and fish along with its special surroundings.
You will not regret it, believe me !

The Bliss House is right near the AUB campus, so it gets a lot of student traffic. It offers LOTS of different sandwiches, like many, many other restaurants of this type, with most of the prices being less than 5000 LL, and the platter with sandwish, fries and a small salad for 6500-7500 LL (these are the most expensive things on the menu). Other items include the usual kufta, chicken tawouk, philly steak, chicken fajita, borsalino mushroom, fish fillet, various salads and mezze, breakfast items (including halloumi cheese), coffee and cappuccino, fruit cocktails and juices, and ice cream.

Favorite Dish: The only thing I've eaten here is the schawarma for 3000 LL ($2 US). It's juicier than the one at Famous Foods and is also bigger. Be careful, though, that you don't drip grease on your clothes! ;) And this last one I had today didn't have french fries in it, either. But the pickles and garlic sauce were tasty, as usual.

Free delivery.

Spacious and beautifully decorated, the oriental setting lends itself to a warm ambiance. The staff is always more than ready to make guests feel at home. You should not miss the “kibbe nayyé” (raw meat with bughral).a famous house specialty. This is one of the top 5 Lebanese restaurants. It is surrounded by gardens, one of which is specially designed for children to play in. In the summer, we recommend you sit outdoors on the large terrace.
I have placed the 2 addresses of this restaurant,the 1st is located on a mountain with a beautiful view of whole Beirut.
the 2nd is a smaller restaurant off the highway.

Favorite Dish: if you are vegetarian Lebanon is the place,they have so many dishes which prepared only with vegetables(i.e. Fatoush salad,tabouleh salad and hindbeh)

Also if you like to try the beaf kababs or chicken liver cooked with pomegranate molasses.yummm!!!!!
Another cool thing about this restaurant is that they had a huge TV screen at the times of World Cup 2002,we used to watch all foot ball games there.(we watched Saudia loose against Germany by 0/8)hard luck,,but never lost my appetite! ;-)

Located at Biel (north of downtown Beirut) with strategic views of the Mediterranean and the mountains, al Mandaloun sur mer is perhaps Beirut's best Lebanese seafood restaurant. A delicious, but limited menu of mezze precedes a large selection of fresh catch of the day to be prepared as desired. As far as Lebanese restaurants go, al Mandaloun is one of the more expensive in town.
