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.

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.

Whether you sit at the long & sunny communal table or tuck yourself away in a corner, you will certainly enjoy this buffet-style brunch. Be sure to get a slice of cake after for a sweet treat.
