2. Head to Cinéma Montaigne for “Le Grand Week-end du Cinéma Français”

A little French cinema makes for a pretty good weekend plan. Catch a selection of French films, including Lebanese premieres, at Cinéma Montaigne. Screenings run until November 15, with free admission upon reservation.

3. In the French mood? Try Bunman‘s burger of the month, the French Onion Burger

It looks like the new Bunman tradition is dropping the Burger of the Month, and this month’s burger is a great way to get into the fall mood.

Their team decided to turn a classic seasonal dish into a burger with The French Onion Burger.

4. Learn a new skill with a leather notebook workshop at Riwaq

Fancy making something with your own hands? Spend part of your weekend learning the art of leatherworking and creating your own notebook at Riwaq.

A nice little activity to try something different and take home something you made yourself.

5. Make new friends at Tilt33‘s Open Mic

Looking for a reason to get out and meet new people? Tilt33 is hosting an open mic night that welcomes music, comedy, poetry, storytelling, and anything worth sharing with the crowd.

6. Tap into your inner baker with this baking workshop at Barzakh Bookshop

A bookshop baking session sounds like something we’d be down for. Head to Barzakh for a hands-on baking workshop and spend your weekend picking up a new skill, getting creative in the kitchen, and hopefully enjoying something delicious at the end.

7. Pretend you’re busy at Vanilla Bean and sample all their fresh bakes

You don’t really need to be busy to actually be busy. A trip to Vanilla Bean and a taste of their fresh bakes is something definitely worth clearing your schedule for.

8. Shop local at the Souk El Tayeb Farmers’ Market (and bring your dog)

Make Saturday morning a little more interesting with a trip to Souk El Tayeb. Stock up on seasonal produce, homemade mouneh, Lebanese treats, and handmade finds while supporting small farmers and local producers.

And if you decide to bring your dog with you, make sure to let them socialize with fellow four-legged friends.

What are your plans this weekend?
