Spring has sprung! With the warmest months just around the corner, let’s go outside and enjoy a good lunch under the shining sun. Here are some of our favorite outdoor eating and drinking spots in Lebanon.
While the melting snow is slowly turning the slopes into a bright green playground, La Cabane du Chef is the perfect sunny springtime answer to the question “How should I spend my Sunday?” The open buffet and sizzling BBQ feast set on their large terrace make this the ultimate place to unwind and enjoy the sun as it sets over great scenery.
If you’re someone who enjoys stunning scenery while sipping extraordinary wine and indulging in mouthwatering food, take a drive up to Château Khoury. The menu includes Lebanese and International cuisines, and you can even take a tour of the Caves.
Overlooking Beirut’s coastline, Sea Salt offers a scrumptious seafood menu and a fresh catch display that will enthuse the fish lover in you. Popular for its fresh shrimps, oysters, and enticing entrées, the place is a great spot for fine dining right by the sea.
Serving authentic Lebanese food and drinks, Beit El Qamar sits on a hill above Deir el Qamar and it is definitely worth the drive. You can eat in the shade of the trees of its garden terrace, have a drink on the roof overlooking Beiteddinne, or just relax in a lounge chair or a bean bag.
There’s no better time than spring to step out on Lola’s picturesque patio for a late lunch, and spend an entire afternoon with friends and family in the outdoors. The relaxing outdoor architecture and the breezy green terrace in the heart of Bekfaya Naas will make this a day well spent.
Ixsir’s sunny afternoon lunch feels like a breezy garden party: while the restaurant pairs a terrific menu with one of the best local wines, you can easily find yourself lingering there all day. And above all, don’t miss a visit to their state-of-the art winery.
With such beautiful days of seemingly endless sun, it would be a shame not to enjoy lunch on the casual terrace of Margherita Mare. While this spot is appreciated for its soothing sea view, the Italian and seafood menu will leave you feeling completely satisfied.
