12 Cozy AF Spots Around Beirut That Match This Weather

After a loooooong summer, we’re ready to welcome rainy days. The best way to enjoy this kind of weather is at some cozy AF spots, and Beirut is full of them.

1. Cupola, Gemmayze

Stop by for delectable Italian meals that will keep you warm on a stormy day. Their décor boasts a homey feel to ensure that you enjoy their dishes from the comfort of your second home, Cupola.

2. Ôtrottoir, Achrafieh

Ôtrottoir is the newest addition to the Achrafieh scene, a Lebanese bistro with gorgeous décor and wonderful menu to match. A glass or two of their London Mule and a plate of their pumpkin kebbe will put you in the fall mood.

3. The Cavern Pub, Badaro

This family business has a passion for making unforgettable drinks to perfect a night out with friends, and we’ve got a passion for their cozy Margaritta. Pick something off their fall/winter drinks menu to keep you warm!

4. Wild Olive, Badaro

The dark and cozy atmosphere at Wild Olive will call out to you on a rainy day. A sip of their red wine with a few bites of their hummus meatballs will comfort you this season.

5. Tom&Mutz, Mar Mikhael

This Italian-American spot’s love language might be kinda cheesy, but we’re here for it! They will serve you the most exquisite dishes, and then some.

6. Le Relais de l’Entrecote, Monot

The iconic French restaurant serves just one thing: steak frites—all you have to do is select the cooking temperature. You’ll start your meal with a delicious butter lettuce salad, then you’ll chow down on two helpings of steak and fries with their exceptional secret sauce. Dunk baguette slices, sip wine, and repeat in their beautiful and winter-y space complete with warm lights and red decor.

7. La Ménagerie, Clemenceau & Achrafieh

A flower shop, restaurant, and concept store all rolled up into the cozy spot of your dreams. Spending a day at La Menagerie means surrounding yourself with beautiful smells and perhaps enjoying one of the flowery inventions on their menu (yes, you can have a pasta made with edible flowers).

8. L’Autre Bistro, Hamra

A wine bar that was made to be enjoyed in this weather. A glass of their rich wine pairs best with the risotto canard and savory spinach quiche, and you can end the night with a taste of their sweet fondant.

9. Bavaglino, Achrafieh

This spot is for lovebirds and hopeless romantics who want to cozy up over a generous serving of their seafood linguini, but you won’t be able to resist trying the other appetizing dishes on their menu. Their penne alla vodka will surely keep you warm.

10. Dragonfly, Gemmayze

A night out with friends doesn’t have to be soiled by a change of weather. Dragonfly is a cozy bar in Gemmayze that will keep you warm with its assortment of tasty drinks and welcoming atmosphere. The rock music is a big plus, too.

11. The Sage Parlour, Achrafieh & Manara

Stop by for a yummy breakfast tray to kickstart your day or catch up with a friend over a cup of coffee and some fresh bakes. They’re ready to serve you starting 7:30 AM, so if you’re an early bird with a love for cold weather, head down to The Sage Parlour. While their Manara spot is beautiful and just as great, this Achrafieh space is the cozier of the two.

12. Bn Coffee Bar, Badaro & Gemmayze

We would do anything for the love of coffee, even if it means waking up and heading to Bn Coffee Bar at 8 AM. From an unbeatable coffee selection to some of the creamiest cappuccinos you’ll ever taste, you’ll find this spot irresistible.
