Chop Suey Beirut

Chinese please

"Chop Suey's menu is rich in flavor and a lot of the items are spicy. The menu features a wide range of plates in each category catering to meat, chicken, seafood, and veggie lovers alike."

There are a lot of different cuisines in Lebanon: Japanese, American, Italian, but rarely do we get to experience an authentic Chinese experience. With Chop Suey, you experience just that. From the lavish interior, fish tanks, and wall graffiti, to the delicious authentic plates, Chop Suey mesmerizes its goers from start to finish. Located in a renovated but old building on the second floor, you can't miss Chop Suey's red lights from the windows and the staircase.

You're first greeted by graffiti on the wall facing the stairs, and then some more inside the restaurant. You'll also notice fish tanks in the wall and a corner with a swing. As for the food, Chop Suey's menu is rich in flavor and a lot of the items are spicy. The menu features a wide range of plates in each category catering to meat, chicken, seafood, and veggie lovers alike.

I didn't personally try their drinks, but I did see some colorful drinks served, and they seemed like a definite must-try! All in all, Chop Suey is a great go-to for a date night or a night out with friends before continuing the party in Mar Mikhael!

An exciting part of this museum is that at some point, if you look up, you'll be looking through a glass ceiling that shows the church right above you.
