Orenda Beirut

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!"

A cool, chill, and a must-visit vegan spot in Mar Mikhael, Orenda opened its doors not too long ago to welcome everyone looking for a truly unique experience. 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 (check out the vegan cooking books!).

The menu is all-vegan and incredibly delicious. If you're one of those people who think vegan food is lame, Orenda will definitely change your mind. Take a look at their drinks menu if you plan to have a long yet quiet night, or head out to one of the many pubs in Mar Mikhael if you're looking to turn it up with your squad. If you're a non-drinker, ask for the virgin version of the sangria.

The staff is extremely friendly and always ready to answer questions, make sure to ask them about their to-die-for desserts too!
