We didn’t see the rooms so we cannot comment on them. But the food was really good and the service equally good. The portions were good and well presented. The small shop has a lot of local items for sale at reasonable prices. The seating overlooking the street is very pleasant if you can get it, usually they are full so they might not be available.
A casual and nice place located in the heart of Mar Mikhael.
It is an old house, furnished casually with old and traditional furnitures.
They have an indoor and outdoor.
They have a light menu and a variety of beverages and alcohol.
A good place to meet, work and read.
Came here for breakfast, ingredients were simple yet fresh. We arrived at 9 am and it was packed by 10 am so I would advise coming earlier to ensure a good outdoor spot. We enjoyed the lovely interior and the service was great as well.
This place is beautiful and cozy, it’s a shame they don’t have wifi nor encourage remote workers. I would have loved to be able to sit down there for a bit with my laptop. I do get the point of them wanting to keep it as a social café as opposed to a digital nomad hub, though.
We went to Beyt Cafe in Gemmayze for brunch on a Saturday morning at 11 am and found two open tables outside. The place looks like an old Lebanese house with a small garden-like terrace. It's a nice break from city noise, especially if you like sipping coffee surrounded by greenery.
We ordered espresso, americano, cappuccino, and lemonade. The first three were tasty, but the lemonade was pretty basic. For food, we got a ham and cheese omelette (a bit too salty), a good mushroom omelette, and a vegetable omelette that needed more salt and flavor. We also ordered a labneh dish with veggies on the side.
The prices were okay, and we paid around $43 for everything. The service was a bit slow. We had to go inside each time we needed the waiter, but at least the food came on time. We gave the ambiance a 4/5 because it's a charming place. For food, we rated it 3/5 – good but could be tastier. Service got a 3/5 too.
Oh, and it's a pet-friendly place!
It is amazing how a small door and a stairs can lead you to such garden.
A really authentic Lebanese architecture, with a seating areas and a shop that sells homemade jams and even wine.
The coffee options was fantastic. And the calmness of the space is what attracts you the most.
However the lace of Wi-Fi makes it the worst thing about this beautiful space

Hidden gem in the Mar Mkhael area. This coffee shop is located on the first floor of an old building with traditional architecture and has an amazing rear garden at the rear. The place has also a small selection of food items, mostly pizzas and salads and a few appetizers. Highly recommended for a coffee meetup or to work / study.
It is kind of hidden in terms of place so i hope they add a sign outside. The food is 5 stars but the service is so slow. I think the employees were kind of bullies because i wasnt hearing them well (hearing issues) and they were like really rude laughing.
Anyway, I don't think i liked the experience but had a great company so ata3t.
This place is a quiet haven. We were working in Beirut from UK for a week and visited here every day, either breakfast or afternoon for coffee. Sometimes both. Staff are great. Surroundings beautiful. An oasis. Can't wait to return.
