This Hidden Gem Is Named After That One Melhem Barakat Song

Who remembers that iconic Melhem Barakat song that goes like “La thezzi kbouch el touti, ma b7ebbik law betmouti”? That was the first thing that came to mind when we stumbled upon this hidden gem in Mechmech. Now that song is stuck in our head…

When you think of a Sunday lunch with your family, then you’re probably going to picture this: wooden tables and chairs, tasty mezza, Arak, and those perfectly rustic Lebanese vibes.

Cooking up traditional Lebanese cuisine, Kbouch El Touté is a wonderful spot on the hilltops of Mechmech. With a homey feel and amazing landscapes to keep you company during your visit, this is literally the perfect spot for you and your family’s next outing.

They boast a charming seating under the trees and nearby swings that overlook the gorgeous view. Their outdoor playing area will keep the children busy while you’re ordering endless plates of mezza to fill up your table.

Apart from traditional mezza, your family lunch won’t be complete without mouthwatering mashewe and exceptionally presented platters of la7me nayye. Feast on their generous portions and wash them down with a glass of cold Arak.

An affordable spot with a taste of home, Kbouch El Touté is worth a try – and worth visiting again! Whether it be for their authentic flavors or spectacular views, this is a Mechmech gem that is easy to love.

In case you didn’t know, Joe Noun, a victim of the August 4 explosion, frequented this restaurant. It has since continued its operations hoping to bring joy to those who visit to honor his life.
