Make use of the radiant sun this weekend and head to one of these 10 restaurants for a nice lunch overlooking the mountains or sea. We have rounded up a list of places across the country with a view that you’ll want to stare at for hours and hours. Check them out!
1. L’Os Restaurant
Established in 1964, L’Os Restaurant is famed for its delicious traditional Lebanese cuisine and spacious outdoor seating. Their renowned garlic bread, a freshly baked baguette filled with garlic, coriander and butter is simply unmissable. Add to that a panoramic view of greenery and you’re surely in for a treat.
2. Al Sultan Brahim
Sultan Brahim has been serving fine seafood to the Lebanese public for nearly half a century and a beautiful sea view for the complete oceanic experience. Make sure you fill up on their decadent mezza, but be careful not to dishonor the restaurant (and its name) by not trying their namesake fried fish.
3. Falamanki Raouche With traditional Lebanese decor, beautiful tiled floors, and a menu that accentuates the glory of old Beirut, you’ll enjoy your arguile in the garden oasis or spacious interior. Falamanki has become a very popular post-night out location for partiers to get their late night saj and arguile fix complete with most pristine view overlooking the Pigeon rocks.
4. La Creperie
La Creperie fuses French and Mediterranean cuisines in a magical setting. This restaurant is ideal for both romantic dates and large gatherings and it offers an amazing view overlooking the Mediterranean.
5. Pierre And Friends Ranked once among the best beach bars to try before you die, Pierre and Friends is famous for its laid-back atmosphere, feel-good vibes, tasty seafood, crazy parties, and last but not least the gorgeous view from the beach terrace at sunset, best enjoyed with a bottle of ice cold beer.
6. Tawlet Ammiq Put aside their generous buffet piled high with all the delicacies you desire, the truly most enjoyable part of this spot is their sweeping views of the valley. Simply breathtaking!
7. Abou Joseph Restaurant
Located in Wadi Annoubine in the heart of the valley, Abou Joseph is the perfect pit stop after a long hike or walk in Qadisha. Don’t get too fancy because Abou Joseph is very laid back and will feed you all the Lebanese traditional dishes you’re craving, plus the eye-pleasing view.
8. Al Jammal
Founded in 1981, Al Jammal Restaurant serves fresh seafood with a variety of cold and hot mezze, and salads. One of the most popular attractions for tourists and locals alike, this restaurant’s specialty is THE WONDERFUL SCENIC view that you can enjoy with your feet in the water.
9. Margherita Mare
What differs between this branch and others is the “mare” in Jounieh. Indulge in your favorite Italian dishes by the water, or better yet, have a late sunset luncheon for an extra romantic ambiance.
10. Mir Amin
Offering panoramic views of the Shouf Mountains, this restored 19th-century palace offers air-conditioned rooms with antique furniture. It has a spacious terrace and a restaurant overlooking Beiteddine Palace. In the summer, Italian-inspired cuisine is served at the restaurant, while traditional Lebanese dishes are available in the winter.
