Kissproof Beirut
Brunch destination
If there's one thing I'm addicted to, it's is brunch on Saturdays -- the food and day drinks that for some reason we don't feel guilty about afterwards. And what's better than a good hearty Bloody Mary to satisfy all your cravings on those sunny days (and after a Friday hangover of course)! Kissproof is by far the best place to be for brunch -- for the endless eggs options they offer, from an egg burger to sunny side up to poached on top of an avocado toast...
But it doesn't end here, for you may find some vegan and vegetarian options on the menu, and of course, if you're a meat eater, you'll order the bacon on top of everything as my friends do. Now, who wouldn't like a mimosa with all that? After all, what's a brunch without a bottomless mimosa, right? And a huge selection of beers, draught or bottled, local or others, you name it.
Kissproof is my go-to cafe/resto almost every week, for the funniest and professional bartenders that work there, the yummy food and the cool vibes.

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".

Molo – All day coziness
The menu includes some local bites, but Molo is best known for its pizzas, served on a wooden plank. The menu is also rich with different types of hot tea, coffee, and signature cocktails.

Orenda – A love affair
Tucked away in a small alley at the end of Mar Mikhael, the pink walls and soft music is unmissable. Orenda boasts an outdoor garden and an indoor space with a room reserved for their gift shop!

Souk El Tayeb – It's got everything you need!
Some personal favorites are the hot Saj, locally produced peanut butter, jams, and other snacks such as Carob flavored cookies and of course, fresh fruits. It gets crowded, items run out fast so hurry up!

Beyt - Mar Mikhael – Tradition meets trendiness
On the inside, Beyt is all about the traditional vibes, with an Arabic-style lounge area, a balcony overlooking the street with two small tables that seat two people each, and a gift shop packed with local goods!

Score Bowling and Games – Fun for everyone!
I hadn't been to an arcade since I was a teenager, and I only used to play Dance Dance Revenge, but this time, as an adult, I can safely say I had as much fun as a teenage me would have!

Ramlet El Bayda – Unmissable sunsets
The beauty of Ramlet El Bayda lies in its sunsets. Grab a coffee, grab a friend, grab a snack, and be amazed by the colors. You can also catch the same sunset from one of the many coffee shops in Raouche or Manara!

El Paseo – Tapas all around!
My personal favorites are the mango shrimp salad and the chicken provolone, both are scrumptious. They have signature drinks, mocktails, wine, and others to also quench your thirst!
