Cantina Sociale Beirut

A wine shop and café concept

"Cantina Sociale is a wine and coffee shop concept located in Beirut. If you’re a fan of wine and chill, modern spaces then you need to hit it up..."

If you’re a fan of wine and cozy, chill, modern spaces then you need to hit up this place. Cantina Sociale is a wine and coffee shop concept located in Ashrafieh.

This is a great place for a quick brunch with friends or to just enjoy a chill evening and a glass of wine. It's also a great working space to open discussions and enjoy being cozy while productive. Promoting the education of wine, they own a wide selection, varying from local to foreign. The place is self-service with an all healthy menu, so the food is very tasty and fresh. You can also purchase your wine by the bottle or enjoy your bottle/glass in-store.

I used to hit up this place every couple of weeks after university classes for a quick brunch or for a chill night of studying with friends. The environment is very calm, fresh and cozy, so if you’re craving a quick bite with a good old glass of wine, this is certainly the place to go!

Salud

Best Mexican in town

"Salud" in Beirut is a happy Mexican bar-restaurant, one of my favorites in town! You have to try their beef burritos together with a pitcher of Margarita!

Farrouj Zaghal

1966 Chicken Restuarant

What makes the chicken sandwiches different at Zaghal's is that they're wrapped in a "Marqouq bread" which was not popular in Beirut back in the 60s...

Grand Meshmosh

Lowkey spot to chill

Very charming in a very simple manner - nothing too extravagant, yet very cozy. I love that Grand Meshmosh is never too loud or too crowded, but just perfect.

Raseef Beirut

Cozy, Homey, Beautiful

One of my favorite places in Hamra is Raseef Beirut, originally a small sidewalk restaurant and pub – hence the name: “Raseef”, which translates to “sidewalk".
