"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."

Situated in one of Badaro's alleyways is Molo, a cafe, restaurant, and pub with very chilled-out vibes. I first discovered Molo in 2021 and have become a frequent visitor since. The staff members always make sure that the visitors feel welcome. The menu includes some local bites and a Lebanese breakfast, but Molo is best known for its pizzas, served on a wooden plank. The menu is also rich with different types and flavors of hot tea, coffee, and signature cocktails, many of which are infused with herbs.

On the outside, Molo boasts a small garden seating, and on the inside, a cozy and dimly-lit interior. Be sure to make a reservation, as it can get crowded on weekends. Whether on a rainy winter night or during a nice afternoon spring breeze, Molo welcomes everyone in with a smile and a taste of local hospitality. If you're coming by in the morning, continue your day by doing one of many close-by activities such as taking a creative class at Creativenass, visiting Lebanon's local museum, or simply getting lost in Badaro's streets!

Praliné

Coffee and pastry shop

We entered the shop and were greeted by an affable gent who suggested we try out some sweet bites displayed on a black platter. And we did. Delicious!

Salata

Healthy Food Restaurant

A healthy lifestyle requires freshly concocted dishes with seasonal vegetables and ingredients that are preferably sourced locally. This is what the concept of Salata is all about.

Falafel Joseph

Best Falafel In Town

Falafel Joseph broadened his menu and opened a "restaurant" a couple of hundred meters away. The restaurant serves one of the tastiest chicken shawarma in town!

Persian Cup

A Hidden Gem

Their specialty dessert, Persian love cake, is a concoction of cardamon, pistachio, and zest of lemon. It tasted as delicious as it looked.

Terghale

Coffee & Shisha

I usually stop by Terghale for fresh juice and my friends mostly order shisha or coffee, and we can spend hours here sitting and reading in silence.

L'Appartement

Bistro Bar

Make sure to try the beetroot carpaccio and the tomato bruschetta as snacks. Their signature cocktails are delicious and I also fancy their minted lemonade.

Emotions

Pâtisserie & Artisan Glacier

My favorite treat at Emotions is the "chausson au citron" - lemon turnover, which tastes simply yummylicious: not too lemony or sour, not too sweet, not too small.
