Le Mikado Beirut

My go-to flower shop

Samira from Beirut

About Me I am a reflective wanderer who turns her encounters into stories to be told during her walking guided tours in Beirut. I am passionate about discovering hidden gems, attending art exhibitions, having oral history conversations about the recent history of Beirut, and discovering specialty coffee shops. Why Beirut? Beirut is the city that all the Arab countries have...
""Le Mikado" in Beirut has been providing customers with (dried) flowers and arrangements since the '50s. I just love their display outside the shop..."

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.

Beirut is the city that all the Arab countries have always needed, whether culturally, politically, architecturally, or artistically. This city is a melting pot of almost all ethnicities and those who wander its streets would feel so, just as authors ...
