The stunning space that is home to delectable fondue and pierrade! Be sure to also try their flammekueche, a crème fraîche and bacon pizza that is to die for.
3. Paname
One of Beirut’s most delicious destinations moves up to the mountains for the season. Enjoy cold cuts, spaghetti, and their impeccable burger.
4. Auberge Le Valais
Salads, barbecue, and amazing fondue! This spot is particularly known for being more quiet than others in the area.
5. Les Caves De Chez Michel
Tucked away in the cozy Terre Brune hotel is this delicious steak house. Think heavenly meats, exquisite salads, premium wines, and live entertainment on weekends.
6.
A cozy spot with ALL the Lebanese mezza staples. This restaurant is very laid back and casual, serving fresh and well-made dishes and barbecue.
7. Tarik el Nahel
Kibbeh cups, fatteh, fresh salads, and delicious bites. Tarik al Nahel won’t disappoint with its satisfying menu and peaceful atmosphere. Their fresh ingredients and beautiful views are ideal for a scenic lunch.
8. Jalset el 3erzel
Jalset el Erzel’s beautiful forest setting paired with their delicious traditional Lebanese cuisine makes them top the list as one of our favorite mountain restaurants in Lebanon.
9. Saj Em Bachir
So this isn’t a restaurant per se, but it is a spot that serves up one of Lebanon’s most delicious manouches! Sometimes, all you need is a good old saj (or two) to fill the belly and elevate your spirits. Head to Em Bashir’s, on your left as you descend past Jalset el 3erzel, where you can indulge in a thin markouk painted with zaatar and olive oil paste and heated to a crisp on a saj oven. It’s bound to become your pitstop in Faraya!
