Italy’s Iconic Chocolate & Gelato Spot Venchi Is Now Open in Beirut Souks

Great news for anyone who feels there’s always room for chocolate: Venchi has officially landed in Beirut.

The iconic Italian chocolatier has opened a new spot at Beirut Souks, right across from Stradivarius, bringing its signature chocolates and famously photogenic gelato to the heart of downtown. You’ll spot the large ice cream cone outside the store from a mile away.

If you’re familiar with Venchi, you already know what’s waiting inside: Italian gelato, chocolate bars, beautifully packaged chocolate boxes, pralines, and bite-sized chocolates that are almost too pretty to eat.

Our fave: the dark stracciatella loaded with dark chocolate shards for an extra crunch!

The Souks spot also has an outdoor seating area, making it an easy stop whether you’re grabbing a gelato post-shopping shopping.
