From Sydney to Batroun: Bar Biscotti By The Beach Makes a Splash This Summer in Lebanon

This summer, Lebanon welcomes a fresh new pop-up that blends laid-back coastal charm with world-class coffee, tropical treats, and breezy vibes. Bar Biscotti By The Beach, the sun-kissed spinoff of Sydney’s beloved Bar Biscotti, is now open in Bahsa, right on the stunning coast of Batroun.

All the Way from Sydney

The family-run venture is bringing coffee, summer drinks, and delightful bites to the heart of Batroun. It’s the brainchild of Ameer El-Issa and his family, part of Dream Hospitality Group, the creative force behind one of Australia’s most beloved neighborhood cafés.

This new seaside concept follows his recent success with Bar Baker, Dbayeh’s bold New York–Italian-inspired bar. Now, he brings a slice of Sydney’s beach culture to Lebanon, with a uniquely local twist.

What’s On the Menu?

Coffee lovers can expect expertly brewed cups courtesy of Sip, one of Beirut’s most respected roasters. On warmer afternoons, summer specials take the spotlight. Like their lemon sorbet served in a chilled lemon and coconut sorbet in whole coconuts, the ultimate frozen refresher.

The menu also includes fresh salads, light bites, and a curated selection of alcoholic beverages, perfect for cooling down as the sun sets over the Mediterranean.

“We wanted to bring the spirit of Biscotti to Lebanon – unpretentious, high quality, and full of heart – but with a twist made just for this incredible coastline,” says Ameer El-Issa. “Think morning espressos, barefoot brunches, sunset drinks, and a few surprises along the way.”

The pop-up is now open and will run throughout the summer with rotating specials and weekly music nights. It brings the kind of relaxed energy you can only find when you’re right by the sea. Whether you’re a Batroun local, a Beirut weekender, or a tourist soaking up the summer heat, this spot delivers. Bar Biscotti By The Beach is where your best summer moments are made.
