Meet The Master Of Smoked Meat In The Heart Of Beirut
Unconventional, hardcore, and mouthwatering… there’s no better way to describe this Gemmayzeh gem.
Meats and Bread stands out as one of the Middle East’s first smoke houses and Beirut’s very favorite.
In fact, their smoked meat was named the country’s greatest by a pro-squad of foodies and master judges, so who are we to disagree?
As soon you step foot inside the hardcore BBQ haven, the place will speak to you. You won’t get past without getting a hint of its character; the leather banquets, the sleek vintage tables and the wooden framed pictures on the wall all have a story to tell.
But the loudest scream of them all? It comes from their gigantic showstopper smoker in the middle of the place and their hard-core metal grill with a black lever that will manoeuvre your meat to perfection.
The live smoke show is certainly a wonder to watch, it will show you that playing with fire isn’t such a bad thing after all.
The whole place was built following the mantra “give people a piece of your mind” so don’t be shocked when you notice the profanity all around you. Just get ready to feast your senses and devour everything on their versatile – and very honest – menu.
Before your eyes roam over their endless and appetizing options, make sure you take a minute to read their house etiquette, which states the following:
• In this place we are real, we make mistakes, we say I’m sorry and we give second chances. We have fun, we give hugs and we forgive!
• We can’t tolerate rudeness.
• Life is too short for drama. We want you to be happy and enjoy the food, please help us do so.
• Respect the queue, register your name and wait for your turn.
• Our restaurant is small, it’s impossible to book or make reservations no matter how important you think you are.
• Food here is crafted a la minute, which takes time. Be patient please!
• We will never serve well done meat, unless you are pregnant, with an “echo” to prove it.
Cute, right? And now for our favorite part: their long smoked meats and hand-crafted sides.
With a butcher shop located inside the restaurant, you know for sure that your indulgence for the day is freshly-cut, perfectly-seasoned and succulently live smoked! For the ultimate side-dish and a full decadent experience, their animal style fries and nachos are a MUST-TRY.
We also recommend that you try their out-of-this-world WTF burger and their brand new unforgettable UMAMI burger, both equally juicy, messy and delectable.
Steak lovers, don’t tune out just yet! Meats and Bread boast an unmatched selection of in-house cuts that are sure to keep you coming back for more. Whether you opt for the porterhouse, rib-eye, T-bone or tomahawk, you can have your fine cut either wet or dry aged, as long as it’s not well done (they take that very seriously).
So what are you waiting for? See you there!
