Meet The Veganz Beirut

Vegan "Junk" Food

"Make sure to try their Bitchin Friez, they are crunchy and cheesy. And the cheezy bites are scrumptious, just the way I love them. You got it, I am a cheese fan!"

I became a vegetarian in January 2020 and I was very happy to discover Meet the Veganz a few months later. I was at work and hungry. I craved a burger but I don't eat meat or poultry. I searched online until I found this spot and decided to give it a try. Since then, Meet the Veganz has developed their own app for your orders and you can also grab your mouthwatering bites at this spot on Armenia street, in the Mar Mikhail neighborhood.

Make sure to try their Bitchin Friez (at 4 USD): they are crunchy and cheesy. And the cheezy bites (3 USD) are scrumptious. Just the way I love them! You got it, I am a cheese fan, haha. The Hakuna patata (3 USD) are also potato wedges with a garlic dip you will revel in. They also make different salads, I only tried the Roasted veggies one and it was delightful (6 USD). The sandwiches look delicious and the Veganz Club (11 USD) can be ordered in half a portion. I absolutely savored the Pulled Fork burger (6 USD), because of the mushrooms of course!

Meet the Veganz also have cookies for dessert. And they claim that all the packaging they use is plant-based and biodegradable. This is also important for environmentally conscious people. Make sure to visit this spot when in Mar Mikhail!

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!

Jardin D'azur

Plant paradise

This is one of my personal go-to places for gifting, as every plant expresses a different type of emotion and could mean many things to different people.

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!

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!
