Looking for the best and flakiest croissants in Lebanon? Whether youβre reminiscing about that buttery croissant you had (or would like to have) in Paris, or just love a good croissant with a cup of freshly brewed coffee for breakfast, these five incredible croissants in Lebanon will definitely hit the spot!
Visit at any time of the day and Biscuit will warmly welcome you with that oh-so-delicious bakery smell which completely takes over all your senses. Visit in the morning; that smell is three times as strong with the freshly baked goods just coming out of the oven. Stay focused, weβre here for the croissants! Among these delectable goodies are the croissants: from zaatar (thyme) and cheese toΒ almond andΒ chocolate,Β together with my personal favourite, plain. Biscuitβs croissants are golden, flaky and buttery, with a soft center; the way theyβre supposed to be. They also make mini croissants on request, which I love since I get to have more of those crunchy crumbly edges!
I visited the newly opened La Petite Table for brunch recently and it has definitely landed on my list of favourite breakfast spots. Not only for that decadent chocolate bread pudding (featured here, but for their delicious flaky croissants! The croissants are wonderfully rich and buttery. My favourite was undoubtedly the plain version.
Just a few minutesβ walk away from Paul Bakery, Le Grenier Γ Pain offers an absolutely delicious almond croissant with such a lovely presentation! The nutty, flaky croissant encloses a luscious sweet crΓ¨me pΓ’tissiΓ¨re (custard) filling and is topped with sliced almonds, powdered sugar and more custard.

Okay, so technically youβre not coming to Sibon for the croissant itself. Youβre coming for their Chocolate Croissant Knefe, or βCronefeβ β yes itβs a mouthful, and yes, I mean literally. A very delicious mouthful! The βknefeβ is topped with a thick and creamy chocolate spread instead of the syrup we call βaterβ. It suffices to say that you wonβt be eating anything else for the rest of the day (and the next). Whoβs in?
