Fish Your Own Lunch at this Fish-to-Table Spot in Lebanon

Why wait for your food to come to you when you can just go catch it yourself? This Lebanese fish-to-table spot lets you fish for lunch and then feast on your own catch.

Simar Al Jabal is known for its traditional Lebanese food and signature fish dishes. Located in the heart of Bcharre, the restaurant decided that the best way to stand out is to let visitors swap the menu for a fishing net. And that’s honestly pretty cool.

This family-run restaurant and fishery operates a fish pond where you can catch your own meal. The restaurant will help you reel in your catch and prepare it just the way you like—fried, grilled, or raw.

Simar Al Jabal offers rainbow trout, a species of trout that is grown in Lebanon and represents a major part of Lebanese aquaculture. Rainbow trout are considered superfoods, and they’re among the healthiest and yummiest fish to eat!

Apart from their beloved fish dishes, the restaurant also serves delectable Lebanese food. They also make the famous kebbe shmeliyye, and it looks absolutely mouthwatering. Is it truly a Bcharre restaurant if it doesn’t serve kebbe?

And the fact that it’s surrounded by so much greenery makes it the ideal spot for a family lunch! Homemade flavors, amazing views, AND delicious fish? This could easily become a go-to spot when you’re visiting Bcharre.
