It’s finally Friday and we’re low on energy. Fuel up before your weekend plans at these cool spots!


1. Souk El Tayeb


An open kitchen where cooks curate different meals that tell different stories from their respective regions. Enjoy a hearty breakfast or delectable lunch at Tawlet Mar Mikhael.

(Breakfast is served from 9 AM till 1PM on weekdays, and until 12 PM on Saturdays.)


2. Tota’s Sunday Market


This market hosts a variety of vendors and artists that sell everything from plants and books to upcycled tote bags and second-hand clothes! This Sunday, they’ll be joined by DJ Uppercase who will be playing some groovy tunes while you shop.


3. Barzakh


A bookshop for the soul and the ideal quiet escape. Find a good book, enjoy a hot cup of coffee, and do some plant shopping!

In the evening, you can stick around for some cool events which include gripping musical performances.


4. Multiverse


A haven for board and card game fanatics, cool collectible-seekers, and comic book lovers. This is the best hangout spot for you and your friends to get a little competitive!

5. Kawaii


What better way to fuel up than enjoying the fluffiest Japanese cheesecake you’ll ever get your hands on? Pair this cloud of a dessert with your favorite hot beverage and enjoy!


6. Luna’s Kitchen


The must-try vegan spot in Beirut that combines hominess with a little fun. This pet-friendly spot hosts the occasional open mics, music events, and even thrift pop-ups! Grab your furry pal and spend a day at Luna’s.


7. Uptown Beirut


Uptown Beirut pays an ode to the golden days of Lebanon with décor like no other. A place like this will ease your nerves and fill your belly – the best way to spend your day. They serve all-day breakfast and have an impeccable Lebanese menu!


8. Cantina Sociale


A Beirut-based wine shop and café that is the ideal space for creative souls who love the occasional healthy bite. We recommend trying their BLT Saj and Spinach Dip!


9. B. Hive


While B. Hive is for the productive bees looking for a work/study spot, their outdoor seating is the perfect place to sit back, enjoy a slice of carrot cake, and redirect your energy.
