6 Spots Around Beirut That Are Perfect for Your Next Family Lunch

Beirut isn’t short on restaurants, but when it comes to a laid-back family lunch, not every spot makes the cut. Here are a few tried-and-true places around the city where family lunches feel effortless.

1. Enab, Mar Mikhael

Set in the heart of Beirut, Enab brings the warmth of traditional Lebanese home cooking to a stylish, relaxed setting. The menu highlights classics like warak enab, grilled meats, and fresh salads, all served in generous portions. Its casual, welcoming vibe makes it perfect for family lunches.

2. Roadster Diner, multiple branches

Few places in Beirut balance casual dining and consistency like Roadster. Its menu is a mix of American comfort food, plus enough kid-friendly options to avoid arguments at the table. Add to that the upbeat vibe and reliable service, and you’ve got a no-stress lunch solution.

3. Swiss Butter, multiple branches

Swiss Butter thrives on simplicity. The menu has just four mains, steak, ribeye, chicken, or salmon, served with the same addictive sauce, fries, and salad. Families who hate overthinking menus will appreciate how streamlined it is, and kids tend to love the no-frills approach. It’s straightforward, hearty, and works every time.

4. East Village, Achrafieh & Badaro

For families who want something beyond the usual burger-and-fries combo, East Village delivers. The menu jumps from tacos and quesadillas to Asian-style bowls and classic brunch plates. The space is a good pick if you’ve got a group with different cravings but still want to sit under one roof.

5. Munchease, Gemmayze

Munchease is already a hit with families because of its welcoming vibes. It’s all about comfort food done playfully: loaded burgers, cheesy bites, and loaded platters designed for sharing. It’s casual, wallet-friendly, and doesn’t take itself too seriously, making it an easy choice for a low-key weekend lunch.

6. Tavolina, Mar Mikhael

Italian cravings rarely fail, and Tavolina keeps it simple: thin-crust pizza, classic pastas, and a few appetizers that work well for sharing. Service is quick, which matters when the kids get restless, and the portions are generous without being over the top. It’s the kind of spot that works equally well for a group lunch or just a family of four.
