After a day In Lebanon I learnt that you always should go to eat at least with 4 persons, this because every meal is soo full of very kind of foods and portions are always so big that you will hardly eat the half of what the waiter will bring to you.
Mezze is the name of the dishes people use to eat as entrance, before the main one, and believe me, they already are enough to let you feel full. Leave a Comment

In the souks you can have many delicious sweets on the street vendors or in the small bread shops.
The most particular sweet I tried was served in the restaurant Manuela in Jounieh and it was made by sheep milk cheese and honey, it was a pity it arrived after the usual many dishes as I could not finish it! It was served together with an excellent iced melon grape.

The extravagant Lebanese mezze represents the high point of the country's hospitality. Mezze staples are hommos - a chickpea puree with lemon and sesame paste - and bahaganouj - a dip made of roasted eggplant, sesame paste, lemon and garlic. Raw or fried kibbe - fresh lamb pounded with ground wheat and seasoned with onion, fresh mint, salt and pepper - is also a favorite.

A typical Lebanese breakfast,it`s a kinda of pita bread baked with a herb called Za`tar(Thyme)served with sliced tomatos,cucumber and mint leaves and if you you wish you can also add sliced onions.
You can also order it with goat cheese then it`s called Manakeesh Jibneh...it looks something like a pizza exept it has no tomatoe sauce.
It`s one of the cheapest breakfasts & a tradional one!
You can find the Manakeesh at any local bakery almost every where....it`s pronounced Mana`eesh in Lebanese accent!
A zatar Mana`eesh usually cost less than 1$,and the cheese Mana`eesh costs about 1$
(1500 lebanese Lira). Leave a Comment Theme: LocalAddress: Everywhere!

Lebanese sajj is a flatbread, crisp yet chewy, that gives a little resistance when you tear through it with your teeth.
Sajj refers to both the bread and the squat, bullet-shaped oven used to cook it.
Sajj has been eaten since ancient times, long before the birth of Christ.
Try it with the minced meat as well. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Everywhere

The traditional salad for Lebanon.
It is served in all Lebanese restaurants,made from:
-minced parsley,
-minced mint leaves,
-diced tomatoes,
-fainely chopped green onions.
-bulgar wheat.
seasoned with squeezed lemon juice,
olive oil,salt and black peper.(and very little of ground cinnimon).
If you want to eat it like the locals do then eat it with cabbage leaves or lettuce.tear a small piece then scoop the salad with it!!!!!!!!!
It can be cheap but really depends on which restaurant you are having it at!
And just a little warning here,,,,make sure you look at your teeth after eating it.....a parsley leaf might be stuck there ;-) Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: less expensive than averageAddress: All Lebanese restaurants has it

Food problems in Baalbeck: we tried several restaurants and none of them looked like a restaurant. We were not tempted. The other option would have been some sort of fast-food-lookalike places - once again we were not tempted. At that point we were getting desperate - and especially hungry... until we had a brilliant idea: the Palmyra Hotel would surely have a restaurant. It did, indeed, and it looked magnifically decandent... as if only ghosts have been eating there in the past 100 years. OK, we said...
Simple food, like the usual kebabs and mezzes... at the start of our meal we were brought a huge plate of veggies... and equally huge was the fruit bowl we were given at the end of our meal. The best, however was the... hummus! The best hummus I have ever had - delicious and not swimming Leave a Comment Theme: Middle EasternPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: rue Abdel Halim HajjarPhone: 370 230Directions: from where the minibus drops you off, head back for about 200 metres.

The restaurant is.. well, just a simple restaurant. Definitely not the one we were looking for (the Wardeh restaurant), but since neither we nor taxi-drivers could find it, we ended up in the nearest place we could find: Restaurant Damoun
The restaurant serves only mezzes: we had 4 different ones: 2 cold and 2 warm ones. They were ok, but not special. The hummus was unhappily swimming in oil. OK if you're starving, otherwise you'd better pass on Leave a Comment Theme: Middle EasternPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: TripoliDirections: up the road from the clock tower (Al Tell square), where the buses leave
