BEST BRUNCH SPOTS IN BEIRUT

Are you craving eggs Benedict? Or are you more of the granola type? After a long night of partying, a good brunch is crucial. Here are our favourite brunch spots in Beirut.

BUFFETS

Liza

This grand buffet –and beautiful setting– is an excellent way to start the day. For (LBP 63.000) indulge in an unlimited amount of Lebanese mezzes and sweet treats.

Tawlet

If you feel like Arabic food – Tawlet is your best bet. The buffet (LBP 50.000/33$) includes unlimited arak, homemade lemonade / rosewater, and sumptuous food. Check their weekly schedule to find out which local chef is doing the honours.

Four Seasons

If you tend to wake up late, ignore this one. If you’re prepared to sacrifice a bit of sleep for some mind-blowing food then book a table at the The Grill Room Restaurant for breakfast. Their unlimited buffet (LBP 58.000/38$ per person) is to die for and the waiters are at your beck and call.

BURGERS

Happy Prince

Alexander Flemming St. Mar Mikhael

Happy Prince sure knows how to make us happy. For Brunch, try their selection of Bloody Marys and their Nutella Hot Coco (LBP 10.000/7$) with the steak and eggs sandwich (LBP 30.000/20$). But really, order the burger (LBP 23.000/15$).

Frosty Palace

There’s nothing better than a juicy burger and a good milkshake to cure a hangover. This tiny American diner not only plays great retro tunes but also serves some of the best fatty sandwiches, burgers, pancakes, or desserts you’d want to chew on after a rough night. Salads are also available if your significant other sadly happens to be on a diet.

HEALTHY

Casablanca

Casablanca is known for only using organic products –most of which come straight from the owner’s farm in the countryside– so indulge in a healthy brunch and order a sake martini! We particular recommend that you try their cheesecake (LBP 16.500/10$), it’s wow.

Ginette

Are you craving a fresh pomegranate juice (LBP 8.750) with Eggs Royale (LBP 23.000)? We are. This concept store / eatery serves some tasty healthy dishes. If you plan on going with your significant other, why not order a Classic Breakfast for two (LPB 38.500) which includes a Hot drink, fresh juice, a viennoiserie basket, jam & butter with French bread and a waffle sprinkled with sugar.

Bread Republic

Bread Republic is a healthy breakfast and lunch spot. Serving organic vegetables and local produce, dishes are tastefully wholesome. Egg worshippers: order the Tabouleh omelette (LBP 11.500/7.5$) for the perfect west-meets-orient type of dish. Their dark lemonade, with blackcurrant and blackberry, is also pretty delicious.

ROOFTOPS

Albergo

For a bit of sunshine, head to the Albergo’s rooftop. This charming Garden of Eden is one of our favourite spots to enjoy a tasty breakfast. Whether you’d like some scrambled eggs with truffles (LBP 40.000) or are more into their Lebanese Breakfast Combo (LBP 37.000/24$), this place will treat you well.

Indigo on the roof

While they stop serving breakfast at 12.00 on the weekend, you can catch a “late breakfast” for lunch on Sundays. Eggs are naturally on the menu and they’re egg-cellent. Their bircher muesli and porridge are also pretty damn good.

OYSTERS 

Prune

If –like us– you’re obsessed with truffles, then order the oeuf cocotte baked in a ramequin and covered with cream and black truffle (LBP 19.000). If you dig oysters, they’re also on the menu. Prune is a great way to start the day and A cote (their next door bistro, which serves tasty sandwiches and lobster rolls) is also a good choice.

Meat the Fish

We don’t know if you’ve noticed, but we are huge fans of Meat the Fish. From their fresh oysters to their delicious sandwiches, everything they make is a dream. We recommend this place any time of the day.

ON A BUDGET

Kissproof

How would you feel about waking up to oven-baked eggs served with either sausages or goat cheese, house made granola (LBP 9.000) and a tasty Bloody Mary (LBP 14.000)? Sounds like heaven to us.
