Al Beiruti

Al Beiruti Downtown is a Lebanese restaurant on Omar Daouk Street in the Minet el Hosn area near the Downtown waterfront, rated 4.9 on Tripadvisor in a 2026 listing with hundreds of reviews. It serves classic Beiruti home cooking, including mezze, grills and daily dishes in a traditional-style room. Its location between Downtown and Zaitunay Bay makes it a handy stop for travellers who have visited the Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque and the waterfront. Reviewers praise welcoming service and good value compared with Downtown's tourist restaurants.

Visitors should confirm opening times by phone or Google Maps and reserve on weekends. A taxi from Hamra is short, and from Downtown it is walkable.
