Though there is no shortage of hip & happening restaurants in Beirut, we think that Baron may be the cream of the crop. They focus on modern iterations of traditional Lebanese dishes that pack a powerful flavour punch.

This shop is nestled on a very quiet street in Mar Mikhael. Come here to buy beautiful handmade slippers in velvet or suede & traditional Lebanese interior design.

If you're in the market for hip, sleek street wear, we definitely suggest you head to Pop Up Concepts. They have the trendiest clothing for men from cool designers - both local and international.

Housed in the former Théâtre de Babylone, Maison Rabih Kayrouz combines a store, atelier and couture salon. The airy space boasts original floor-to-ceiling windows and holds many a treasure.
