12 Cozy Spots For A Light Lunch

Thankfully, with the country reopening and our lives becoming somewhat more normal, we can now roam the streets, stop by our favourite spots, and enjoy some light lunches with friends while catching up on over a year’s worth of events.


1. SLD Bar, Gemmayze

Salads can be fulfilling and delicious when made right, and SLD makes their bowls with love. We recommend their Classic Kale Caesar with shrimps!




2. Aurora Garden, Rachkiddeh

Great food (and winery hours) – a perfect stop to charge up!



3. SALATA, Downtown

With a calming interior and nourishing food to match, this place is perfect to drop by to fuel up after running some errands.



4. Mario e Mario, Mar Mikhael

Bringing together two of our favourite things: delicious food and outdoor scenery. Their pasta dishes are to die for, alongside a flavourful glass of wine in the sun!



5. Tota, Mar Mikhael

One of Beirut’s favourite spots is back and we’re ecstatic! Sitting here after a stroll in Mar Mikhael and enjoying a light lunch sounds perfect.



6. The Barn, Gemmayze

Proving that being healthy isn’t restrictive, The Barn has the most delicious food items that you can snack on!



7. SUD, Dbayeh

Lebanon’s designated brunch spot! If you’re looking for something quick to eat just to keep your energy, this is the place for you. Anything off their Brunch menu is absolutely delicious!



8. Newbury Brasserie & Bar, Badaro

If you’re the type of person that needs bread to feel full, this cozy space serves some fulfilling sandwiches!



9. Kalei Coffee Co, Mar Mikhael

A worthwhile outdoor seating with delicious food!



10. The Glow Paradise, Mar Mikhael

Guilt-free and hearty wraps and burgers that will satisfy your tastebuds. If you like pineapple on your pizza, their Hawaiian burger is definitely for you.



11. Paname, Saifi

With an “Almost French” cuisine, this place is not only a gorgeous spot for an early lunch, but their food options are one of a kind!



12. KUN, Minet El Hosn

Apart from their unique dining concept and delicious food items, their seating is very welcoming and makes you feel right at home!
