My friend called me and told me “I found the perfect place for you! Meet me at Bread republic in Achrafieh”. I head there — it’s a hidden place in the heart of Achrafieh, you’d think it’s small until you step inside and it’s actually quite the place.

Let’s start with the decoration that gives a farm/fresh feel with pumpkins everywhere, fresh bread and its smell as well… everything looks delicious! You can choose whether to sit at the bar with a street view or inside at the tables. It’s also a house of wine, with a menu of either local or international wines, and let me tell you one thing: they have the best options!

I went for bruschetta pomodoro — well, you gotta try the bread at a place that has the word “bread” in their name — and a pizza vegetarian and a green salad. All to share. Everything was made to perfection, with the helpful waitress that made the experience even better. Let’s not forget the desserts that were heavenly!
