Nothing says fresh sunny weather like an escapade to Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley. Here is a roundup of some restaurants you should keep in mind for a memorable day under the eastern sun!
1. Tawlet Ammiq
Another Tawlet success, Tawlet Ammiq is a spacious restaurant in the heart of the valley with a unique view overlooking the fertile plateau. Offering all that Lebanese goodness made with fresh and local produce, you are bound to enjoy the laid-back a3deh and the fresh air. Your furry friends are the ones who will have the most fun though because the immense greenery space is perfect for “go fetch” games.
2. Mhanna
A strongly held legacy serving delectable Lebanese food, Mhanna will forever be a favorite when you’re craving a mezza spread topped off with some mashewe. Picture this, you’re feasting on batata harra, hummus, wara2 3enab, and lahme nayye, while the Berdawni river flows underneath you. Sounds like heaven to us. Oh and make sure you save up some space for the indulgent feast of fresh fruits.
This spot is renowned for its classic round-shaped potatoes. Drag your family to this traditionally Lebanese restaurant and order away everyone’s favorite mezza. Setting a limit to how many batata ballonet one can eat should be considered illegal. Worst case scenario, just subtly unzip your pants without anyone noticing and bask at the wonderful view of Anjar’s natural beauty around you.
An extra special way to spend a day in Beqaa is to visit the Kefraya winery. Book your tour ahead of time, sample all the wine and have lunch at the wonderful Relais De Dionysos, set in the heart of the vineyards. What’s on the menu? International cuisine at the tip of your hands, don’t hesitate to ask the chef about the restaurant’s notorious food signature. It’s probably going to be a wine infused specialty, sahtein and cheers!
