Beirut / Dining / International


 

Casablanca is famous in Lebanon, and trendy as hell – a place to be seen. Full of atmosphere, built into an old Lebanese Villa right on the seafront it does a great Sunday brunch and is decked out with contemporary art and different coloured walls. The food is East- West fusion and experimentation with good fresh fish and lobster and organic vegetables.

 

L’O, which stands for original, is another of the fusion cuisine restaurants so popular in Beirut. Located on the main street of Gemayzeh, it is hugely popular and shaped like a cylindrical tube in what used to be an old cellar. The lights change colour at night giving L’O a constantly changing feel and the food is excellent.

 

Relaxed, earthy and tasty with an organic delicatessen in part of the restaurant, Olive is one for the foodies and a very different venue on Beirut’s outgoing scene.
