9 Beirut Spots Made For Summertime First Dates
Thinking about finally asking out that special person on a date? Here are a couple of ideas guaranteed to give you that extra push:
1. Take a stroll in Mar Mikhael and try the Knefe ice cream rolls at Frooza Booza
Treat your date to this new craze that has been taking the ice cream scene by storm, and make sure to do that during the afternoon when the street’s not so busy.
2. Sunset drinks at Iris
Offering one of the best rooftop views in the city and meticulously concocted cocktails, Iris should be high up on your list. Try to go early – it gets very crowded later on – and grab a place at the bar for you and your date.
3. Milkshakes at Candyfornia Cafe
This coffee shop and bakery in Saifi has all the Los Angeles vibes you can get in Beirut with a merge of Lebanese style interiors. The pink will hit you like a storm at first, and then it’s all sunshine from there. Look at these cute corners! It’s like they were made for lovers.

4. Breakfast at Kalei‘s rooftop
Kalei is one of our favorite places to have breakfast, and couple that with the urban-forest aesthetic, you’ll have yourself a perfect summertime one-on-one outing.
5. Dinner at Hotel Albergo‘s rooftop restaurant
A picturesque garden nestled on top of one of the most prestigious and mysterious hotels in Beirut, offering an amazing view of the city’s skyline and an equally impressive menu. Perfect for the usual first date long conversations to get to know each other.
6. Wine and charcuterie at The Gathering
With this sleek outdoor setting and a night of cheese, wine, and cold cuts, we’re sure it’s not going to be a problem to ask out your person and head to this Gemmayze hotspot.
7. Board games and chill at Cantina‘s terrace
A gorgeous cafe and wine bar with a massive – and we do mean massive – selection of wines. You can chill out on their spacious tables and challenge each other to a game of scrabble while you sip a chilled glass of wine or beer and munch on popcorn.
8. International cuisine at Makan‘s outdoor garden
Take your date to one of Beirut’s secret gardens, and indulge in delicious international cuisine. Make sure to reserve, because they often reach full capacity days in advance.
9. Evening lounging at Phoenicia Hotel‘s Améthyste
Although widely known as a pool in an upscale hotel, this lounge also offers entertainment and ambiance in the evenings as well. Luxurious yet laid-back, this lounge is ideal for just chilling with your date and enjoying the drinks.
