BEYt Sirena is a coffeeshop and restaurant in Ras Beirut, one of my favourite parts of old Beirut. I love the vast floor-to-ceiling windows, and the calming space which is teeming with plants. There's also a beautiful outdoor terrace for soaking up Beirut's many sunny days. It’s a peaceful corner of the city right by the old lighthouse and just a few minutes’ walk away from the sea. Every aspect of this place has been thought out, from the midnight blue espresso cups, to the delicate vases with colourful flowers placed on each table.

My favourite drink is the sahlab, a sweet, warming drink made of milk, mastic and sahlab, a powder that comes from the tubers of orchids, as well as flavours of rose water and orange blossom. It’s all topped with cinnamon, and best consumed on a stormy winter’s day or cooler evening. There are also lots of dining options, from eggs and cakes, to salads, and Indian food in the evenings.

Praliné

Coffee and pastry shop

We entered the shop and were greeted by an affable gent who suggested we try out some sweet bites displayed on a black platter. And we did. Delicious!

Salata

Healthy Food Restaurant

A healthy lifestyle requires freshly concocted dishes with seasonal vegetables and ingredients that are preferably sourced locally. This is what the concept of Salata is all about.

Falafel Joseph

Best Falafel In Town

Falafel Joseph broadened his menu and opened a "restaurant" a couple of hundred meters away. The restaurant serves one of the tastiest chicken shawarma in town!

Persian Cup

A Hidden Gem

Their specialty dessert, Persian love cake, is a concoction of cardamon, pistachio, and zest of lemon. It tasted as delicious as it looked.

Terghale

Coffee & Shisha

I usually stop by Terghale for fresh juice and my friends mostly order shisha or coffee, and we can spend hours here sitting and reading in silence.

L'Appartement

Bistro Bar

Make sure to try the beetroot carpaccio and the tomato bruschetta as snacks. Their signature cocktails are delicious and I also fancy their minted lemonade.

Emotions

Pâtisserie & Artisan Glacier

My favorite treat at Emotions is the "chausson au citron" - lemon turnover, which tastes simply yummylicious: not too lemony or sour, not too sweet, not too small.
