2. Khan Jbeil
As you stroll through the marvelous souks in Jbeil, you can’t help but stop at the smell of delicious food. Khan Jbeil is a restaurant that specializes in authentic Lebanese cuisine, an experience made ten times better while surrounded by the walls of the old souk.
Their crunchy r2a2at jebne and zesty wara2 3enab are a must-try, and their mixed grill platter is spiced to perfection. Grab your friends and enjoy a Jbeil-style mashewe ma3 l shabeb!
3. Le Phenix de Byblos
Anyone else already planning their beach visits? This wonderful resort is everything any summer lover could ever ask for: amazing sea views, green spaces, and more than enough sun to get that tan going. We’re only planning memorable summer days for 2023, and Le Phenix de Byblos will guarantee nothing less.
Sipping signature cocktails by the pool is the only thing on everyone’s mind this worry-free summer. Grab your bikinis, swimming trunks, and tanning lotions (but please don’t forget SPF)!
4. Croissant Bar
Those who have a soft spot for flaky and filling croissants will fall in love with Croissant Bar. Their perfectly rolled buttery treats are known to be the best in town, so make sure you grab a few flavors before heading out to explore the city.
Sweeten up your day with their lotus and milka croissants, and maybe order a creamy latte for a dip and bite. Did you know they also sell mini-croissants?
5. Even
Located in a 300+ year old house, Even is the perfect place to sit back, unwind, and sip on a sweet marshmallow chocolate bomb to give you the dopamine boost you’ve been looking for. This quaint spot enjoys a homey feel, with its cozy interiors and earthy vibes.
If you’re looking for some peace and quiet, you can stop by on a sunny day and soak in the rays as you catch up on your latest read. While Even is an ideal hangout spot, the relaxing atmosphere allows you to enjoy a day all to yourself.
6. Snack Mike
No one does it better than iconic Lebanese snacks. You can’t miss this pocket-friendly gem in the heart of the city.
Chef Mike has been the talk of the town for over 30 years with his signature Chicken Sub that will keep you coming back for more. Don’t believe us? Try it out yourself.
7. The Broad
The Broad, one of Jbeil’s most loved sunset destinations that deserves a spot on the list. The ultimate hangout spot for you and your friends, you can enjoy an impeccable view, make amazing memories, and watch the sky turn into beautiful pink and red hues before nightfall.
The spot is also pet-friendly, so your furry pals can tag along and enjoy the sunset too. The spacious outdoor seating is every dog’s dream.
