Summer is over, but we still need to indulge in something fresh in this overbearing city heat! If you can’t escape Beirut, here are 5 desserts which will help cool you down!
SUD offers one of the most delicious cold desserts in the entire country, not just Beirut! You absolutely must try their Vacherin for 4 served in a giant vase with ice cream, meringues, and a touch of lemon zest for that extra refreshing flavour.
If you’re not a huge fan of meringue, fear not, we have the perfect spot for you just around the corner! Also situated in Mar Mikhael, Frosty Palace not only serves some kickass burgers, but also the tastiest ice cream sundaes you will ever have in Beirut! Caramel lovers will die for their Caramel Banana Sundae, otherwise, opt for chocolate, because well #chocolate.
We LOVED the ashta ice cream served at Falamanki’s branch in Raouche. This thick cold ice cream didn’t seem to understand the term “melt” and it was topped with a mountain of Lebanese cotton candy (ghazel banet). Don’t just go to Falamanki for the sea view, food, and fantastic service, but also for this decadent dessert.
Fed up of ice cream? You’re strange, but okay, we have more sweet cool options for you! How about this fruity cocktail topped with ashta, honey, and raw nuts? You’re tempted, aren’t you?
5. Fruits at any restaurant or at home!

Here’s another non-ice cream cool dessert to keep you feeling refreshed: just plain ol’ FRUIT. Yup, we went there! There’s nothing like a table filled with local fresh fruits after a long decadent Lebanese lunch.
For now, enjoy what’s left of the heat, because winter is coming.
