Le Mikado Beirut
My go-to flower shop
Samira from Beirut
Le Mikado has been providing its customers with flowers since the 1950s, and the fact that they adapted to the new era and preserved such an intimate customer service shows how much passion they put into what they do!
Antoine, the current owner, inherited this trade from his father who dedicated his childhood and adulthood working in this business. The fact that Antoine's daughter is working on flourishing their Instagram account reflects the family business that beholds an amount of respectful devotion.
I personally always get my dried flowers from Le Mikado because I simply like their display outside the shop in a huge variety in colors and types.
Their creativity in arrangements/bouquets and going over the expected with providing a monthly flower subscription was the first in Beirut. They even do dried flower hairpins and bands! Get me a flower shop in Beirut that's as creative as that.
