   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-05-15 Nice restaurant and concept ! Amazing food! Seriously, they use the good stuff. Fresh ingredients make all the difference. You can taste the quality in every bite. Their cocktails were nice and the service friendly and quick. We shared 6 kinds of toast bites, keshek baklava (this was really good), spinach croquette, ravioloni (both were marvelous) and the artichoke halloumi dip (that’s he only thing I don’t recommend).

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-04-09 I have not been in Beirut since 2012 and coming to Dragonfly really made me feel nostalgic. It reminded me that this city has a style and a mood that no other city has… and I have literally been around the globe. Cheers. Dragonflies, with their iridescent bodies and large multifaceted eyes, are captivating insects known for their aerial prowess. These ancient creatures are master predators, snatching smaller insects mid-air with remarkable agility. Their life cycle involves aquatic larvae, called nymphs, that undergo multiple molts before transforming into winged adults. Dragonflies play a crucial role in ecosystems, controlling insect populations and serving as indicators of water quality. Their beauty and efficiency make them fascinating subjects for observation and scientific study. Gouraud, Bayrut, Lebanon

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-01-22 Yesterday we decide to try this authentic old restaurant in ashrafieh. We went for a dinner we had roquefort salad was amazing with nice after taste, gnocchi a la pesto was average, escalope was delicious too. The service was amazing and super professional. Very cozy and beautiful ambiance in this restaurant. A little bit expensive but comparing of the experience its nice.

   ---

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-06-03 The Beirut Cellar is a blast from the past. One of the cornerstone’s of fine dining in Beirut is back and better than ever. A trifecta of great food, excellent service, and a relaxing joyful atmosphere nestled in the most vibrant yet relaxed parts of Beirut. It should be on top of your list whenever you’re in town.

   ---

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-01-10 A heritage place, one of the oldest in town for good steak. The place has kept its good quality. The menu is new, with a lot of selection. Food is always good. Many good options such as steaks, beef carpaccio, mushroom pasta, good salads… Staff are trained and friendly. The place is quite, suitable during the week for a working lunch.

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-01-05 I visited this restaurant for an early lunch meeting around 1 PM and was left underwhelmed by the experience. I ordered the grilled chicken breast with a green salad, and while the chicken was well-marinated and tasted decent, it was surprising—and disappointing—that it didn’t come with any sides considering the price. I had to pay an additional $5 for sautéed potatoes, which were just okay. The green salad, however, was a letdown. Despite adding the provided dressing, it was bland and lacked any real flavor. Portions were adequate, but the overall taste of the food didn’t justify the steep prices. To make matters worse, the dishes were heavily seasoned with pepper for no apparent reason, which caused me to cough and tear up while eating—hardly the experience I’d hoped for. In the end, the meal was disappointing, especially for the price point. While the chicken was decent, the lack of included sides, unappetizing salad, and overuse of pepper made this a place I wouldn’t rush back to. If you’re looking for good value and flavorful food, this might not be the spot for you. street, Bayrut, Lebanon

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-04-12 Ales and Tales fell short of expectations, with limited beer options and an overpriced, overrated atmosphere that didn't align with its name. While the sour draft beer was decent, the overall ambiance left much to be desired. Disappointing experience overall. Good luck!

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2023-12-27 Went on weekdays, the mood and playlist are really good , the bar tender advised us depending on our preferences .

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2022-04-17 5 star review for the awesome staff at this place. Here you feel welcomed, with genuine kindness and smiles, overwhelmingly friendly mixologists and waiters. This place is precisely the spot where you could meet kind people and mingle, get out of your cocoon and release the social butterfly within you. Drinks are delicious and are done with a nice little show done by the bartenders. This bar has 3 floors, best one obviously is the bottom one and they also have a yellow van just outside the bar where you could sit and socialize. Highly recommended!!!

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-05-05 Disappointing Experience We were initially drawn to The Barn for its charming vibe in the heart of Gemayzeh Street. However, our excitement quickly turned to disappointment due to several issues. Cleanliness Concerns: We were given cups for water that had a strong, unpleasant odor. Although the staff replaced them with less smelly cups after we brought it to their attention, it raised concerns about the restaurant's attention to cleanliness. Food Quality 1. Chicken Caesar sour dough: My dish was enjoyable, with a good balance of flavors. 2. Steak meal: Unfortunately, my husband's steak meal was a different story. He ate nothing else that day and subsequently suffered from food poisoning, spending the evening and night feeling nauseous and vomiting. Given the unfortunate experience with food poisoning, we would strongly advise against eating steak at The Barn. The cleanliness concerns and severe food poisoning issue overshadowed the restaurant's pleasant atmosphere. We will not be returning to The Barn and would caution others to be mindful of these issues.

   ---

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-01-17 We had brunch at the Barn with a group of friends. The platters are generous and the proposed mixes are tasty. You feel like ordering all the menu. The place is kids friendly and the staff is really welcoming and efficient.

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-01-23 Awesome idea for a restaurant, they serve really good breakfast for whether you are watching your calories on wanting to cheat. The prices are a bit on the higher side but you get what you pay for. Nice and fresh ingredients, special flavors and combinations.. The opening times are a bit weird, but afterall its a breakfast place. I would go there again to treat myself :)

   ---

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-09-17 Delicious place for breakfast/brunch or lunch! I tried the chocolate-mango oatmeal, which was very tasty, filling and full of fresh fruits. My coffee was great and they have non-dairy options. The carrot juice was also fresh. Best breakfast I had in Beirut so far and at a very good price compared to other places. The service was polite and friendly. The place is clean and lovely. I really recommend this place and will definitely go back if I have time!

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-09-08 It is a very cute restaurant in gemayzeh proposing healthy food options perfect for breakfast or brunch. We had several sandwiches and chia bowls. I loved the goat cheese with fresh figs and the fresh tuna sandwich. Everything was fresh and tasty. We really liked it ! Seating outside is not enjoyable as you are literally sitting on the road but the cute interior decoration makes up for sitting indoors. the alleyway، Gouraud, Bayrut, Lebanon

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-02-22 We had a very disappointing experience at Amelia Restopub. Before going, we confirmed twice over the phone that there was no minimum charge—just à la carte ordering. However, at 11 p.m. as a group of 14, the hostess told us our bill was “too low” at $300 and insisted we order more food and drinks or face a $70 per person minimum .When we explained that this was never mentioned during our calls, she was rude, especially to the birthday girl. Most of us weren’t hungry because we had eaten before arriving—we came to drink, dance, and enjoy the music. One couple was even on a strict diet but was still forced to order food because of this ridiculous rule. The birthday girl was extremely sad; I’ve never seen her this upset. She had told everyone there was no minimum charge, only to be put in an awkward position where she had to go back and tell her guests they had to order more. No one wanted to eat, but we were forced to order food that we didn’t even enjoy because it wasn’t what we wanted. The service was also poor. A waiter tried to take my half-full drink to refill it without my request, seemingly just to increase the bill. The place was overcrowded with no space to move, the music was terrible, and the overall experience was frustrating. This place is dishonest and has terrible service. I do not recommend it and will never return.

The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to recommend their favorites. The cocktail selection was also impressive. I can't wait to return!

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-11-17 dining experience at prices that truly stand out given the quality of the food and the cozy, elegant seating. We started with the Caesar salad, which was hands down a 10/10—perfectly crisp with a rich, flavorful dressing. The edamame was a surprising delight, seasoned just right to keep us going back for more. The bresaola pizza was a blend of fresh ingredients and great flavors, and the poulet mariné was tender, juicy, and absolutely unforgettable. To top it all off, the service was beyond amazing—friendly, attentive, and fast.

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-09-29 I recently dined at Society Bistro in Beirut, and it was an absolutely outstanding experience. The food was super amazing, with a delicious variety of Italian and French dishes that were not only flavorful but also presented beautifully. The ingredients used were of a very good quality, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable, making it a great value for the high-quality dining experience. This place is my all time favorite for the last few years and it retained its value despite all the changes of the restaurant business in Lebanon I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Beirut. The combination of great food, excellent value, and a pleasant atmosphere makes it a standout choice.

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-08-25 Granted some may say that service was better before but all in all I don't think any place in Lebanon has better value for your money than society bistro! The food tastes good, the variety is big and can accommodate the many craving and the service is quick ( yet not super friendly and attentive ). We had the Caesar salad ( not wow, but ok ), tagliatelle mushroom ( rich and very creamy), salmon, two kind of pizza ( dough can be improved is my only point) However , even if some points ( service , food ) are not 100 percent yet at the price you pay it's still sooooo recommended! Society encompasses the intricate web of human relationships and the organized structures that govern them. It involves shared norms, values, and cultural practices that bind individuals together within a specific geographical area or group. It encompasses institutions like family, government, and education, which shape human behavior and social interaction. This dynamic system constantly evolves, influenced by factors such as technological advancements, economic shifts, and diverse cultural exchanges, leading to ongoing social change and the complex interactions that define our collective existence.

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-01-28 I went to Riwaq this morning hoping to have breakfast there after I found the place near my Airbnb on google maps. The staff were so rude, the service was really slow, and the breakfast I was served took one hour to arrive and was bland (cold bread, no taste…) I asked for sugar for my tea, the girl who works at the bar got me some then she came back without asking me and took it off my table. I wouldn’t recommend this place, complete disappointment.

   ---

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2018-04-04 Riwaq is definetely one of the loveliest spot in Beirut. I tried their traditional lebanese breakfast which contains a large variety of yumminess choices : Labne, Halawa, apple jam (was my fav), white cheese, green olives, thyme, served with warm pita bread and fresh vegetables. It was as delicious as i expected it to be. I was disappointed for they do not serve American coffee but that was okay since their espresso coffee was delicious too For the atmosphere, it was very lovely and cozy. The downstairs interior brought me good vibes especially with the cool authentic music and amazing posters which had guarantee a good humour. For the staff, they were very friendly and welcoming, and easy to communicate with. I ve spent at Riwaq couple of hours (or more), and will definitely come back again. I highly recommend it

   ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2024-06-07 Riwaq is a great spot, it has a riwaq vibe, decent cocktails, an events space, definitely worth a visit.

    ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-04-19 I was really looking forward to trying this place, especially given its stunning location. Tucked away in the heart of Achrafieh, the setting is genuinely beautiful whether you’re seated inside or outside , a true hidden gem in terms of atmosphere. Unfortunately the food didn’t live up to the surroundings. We ordered a wide selection of dishes, but overall it was below average. The only standout was the chicken, which was well-prepared and flavorful. The sweets at the end also managed to leave a good impression. Thanks god It’s a shame because with such a charming spot, you’d expect the food to match. I truly hope they work on improving the menu because the potential is there.

    ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-02-06 The interior architecture and decor are one of a kind, especially the arcades. However the place can get super noisy whenever only a few tables are taken. No background music whatsoever. The savory dishes are mostly pretty nice, with a twist, and very well presented. Desserts are nothing exceptional, apart from the meghli eclair which was really nice. Prices are a bit on the high side, however understandable given it’s a high-end restaurant.

    ☆☆☆☆☆ ★★★★★ 2025-01-28 Located in an Lebanese Heritage home, that is beautifully decorated with indoor and outdoor seating. All items from tableware to farm to table dishes are local products. Proceeds go to Beit Al Baraka (not sure for how many years). While the food is well presented and tastes good, not the best available. But eating for a good cause makes it worth it. There is a mooneh boutique and and artisanal boutique with beautiful products from different regions from Lebanon that are very reasonably priced. Our waitress was polite but a mix of "curt" with a smile. We had Hummus; Artichoke with Hindbé; Chmandar w jibne (beetroot and cheese) tasted more like yogurt, interesting blend. Kibbé Nayé, had too much bulgur to our taste. Forgot to take pictures of the makanek, kibbe Halounieh (not waow) Crispy Haloum, we found the latter "heavy" to digest. Will be back Sursock, Bayrut 20631111, Lebanon
