5 MASSIVE Food Portions You’ll Find In Lebanon

We all have that one friend who always asks you if you’re hungry, and in that moment, we know you’re thinking whether or not you’re even friends. The answer is always yes. But can you handle these MASSIVE food portions in Lebanon?

1. Crazy Croissant, Hamra & Wata El Msaytbeh

We don’t know how much you love croissants, but do you love them enough to eat a super-sized one? Their giant croissant can easily feed like four people, so maybe you can put in an order for your next family brunch. They serve all the basic flavors, like zaatar, cheese, and chocolate, but they also have different options that are a little more…creative.

Phone number(s):

Hamra – +961 71 562 958

Wata El Msaytbeh – +961 70 980 986 / +961 70 923 060

2. New York City Pizzeria, Kaslik & Broummana

Known for their giant pizza (and we really do mean giant), this 72cm beast is one to beat. We highly doubt that you’ll ever find a pizza this size, but do you think you can actually finish this? Maybe you and a few friends can go over when you’re in a pizza mood and go for their holiday offer: an XL pizza, fries, wings, and garlic bread for $78.

Phone number(s):

Kaslik – +961 79 114 115

Broumana – +961 24 860 786

3. Hunger Bunker, Kaslik, Jnah & Batroun

Have you seen this massive burger that can quite literally feed six people? Hunger Bunker became popular for their Hunger Bucket concept (they basically hang a bucket of cheese over your burger for you to pour), but when they dropped the Hunger Beast, they really pushed the limits of every burger lover.

Phone number(s):

Kaslik – +961 81 14 14 46
Jnah – +961 81 14 14 47
Batroun – +961 79 10 18 66

4. 57, Jounieh & Jal El Dib

Do you think sandwich lovers are always left out of the foodie conversation? Anyway, 57 is a sub shop that sells long and loaded subs. And by long, we mean 57cm long (hence the name!). Maybe this is the more reasonable option on the list because if you’re feeling extra hungry, you might just be able to finish this one on your own.

Phone number(s):

Jounieh – +961 76 157 757 – +961 9 915 757

Jal El Dib – +961 76 157 757 – +961 4 722 157

5. Hunchie’s, Saida

Now we’re back with another over-sized croissant creation. Hunchie’s is a beloved dessert shop in the heart of Saida with some of the sweetest and most mouthwatering delights, and even if you’re not tempted to challenge yourself to one of their giant croissant rolls, you won’t be able to resist their other (normal-sized) desserts.

Which of these massive food portions in Lebanon do you think you can actually take on? Or better yet, who are you inviting to enjoy them with you?
