So many wonderful spots have popped up recently, so now it’s time to find a new Beirut fave! Check out these 4 new spots in the city.

1. Paulie’s, Gemmayze

Delicious street food but make it Italian! Paulie’s is giving you a casual taste of Italy with their yummy street-style twist on our favorite Italian dishes. Aglio e Olio, savory ciabatta, and more await!

Make sure to go on an empty stomach because you’ll be tempted to try everything off their menu. This new spot is located on Gourad Street, right next to Moon’s Coffee Shop and Bakery. You can’t miss it! For more information, click here or check out their Instagram.

2. O’s Focacceria, Mar Mikhael

A place inspired by Italian cold cuts and fresh cheeses, O’s Focacceria is keeping things interesting with their freshly baked focaccia bread to go with your sandwiches. Yes, the bread makes a huge difference.

3. Al Beiruti, Downtown Beirut

One thing we can’t get enough of is Lebanese restaurants. Al Beiruti, with locations all over Dubai and Egypt, has finally come home and opened its doors in the heart of Beirut. Combining luxury and homeliness, the resto-café is dedicated to being your home away from home.

Located in Downtown Beirut next to Cold Stone Creamery on Rafic Salloum Street, this is the perfect spot to visit when you’re in the mood to enjoy a traditional Lebanese lunch with a contemporary twist. For more information, click here or visit their Instagram.
