Quinoa is a thing of the past. Move over Kale, because weβve got some new tasty food trends to indulge in. Here are 8 food trends you absolutely must try in Beirut (and more importantly before new trends replace them)!
Have you ever had the unfortunate experience that is βthe dreadfully dry sandwichβ? This is where French dip sandwiches come in to save the day. Your meal is served with an actual (deep) sauce dip to dunk your sandwich in!
Why canβt local favorites be part of the latest food trend? Master Chef Maroun Chedid has already added Lebanese favorites like knefe to chocolate fondant and even halewe to his layered cakes! The flavors are mind-blowingly exceptional. Even our favorite 555 biscuit maker, Gandour, has made a new biscuit sandwiching a layer of halewe.
Asian cuisine fans can rejoice! Specialized in delicious ramen and donburi, DON Eatery has finally opened in Beirut. If you havenβt given that a try, nowβs your chance to experience Asian cuisine without actually packing your bags and traveling East.
Where to get it? DON Eatery
5. Truffle

Weβre seeing it more and more on new menus and updated menus of the restaurants we visit, but have you truly experienced a good truffle dish? We like it with ravioli and pizza, Iβm sure many of you have already ticked this one off your list; if you havenβt, shame on you.
Where to get it? Almost everywhere now since itβs so popular, but our top picks are the exquisite Truffle Ravioli at SUD and Ritage by Maroun Chedid
Before breakfast all day, brunches were a thing – and they STILL are a popular weekend trend! Brunch is basically breakfast and lunch combined. If you like to sleep in on the weekends, brunch is your best option for a delicious late breakfast, followed by lunch favorites. They usually last up to 4 hours, so take your time to indulge.
What do normal cookies look like? I donβt think the Lebanese society can ever get back to plain olβ chocolate chip cookies after these stuffed cookies came into town. Get your cookies filled with Oreos, KitKat, Nutella, you name it, they do it!
