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!
