    Restaurant located in downtown Beirut with an indoor and outdoor seating. Went there for a coffee/drink and did not try the food. Was really disappointed when we received the check. Some items were priced more than the digital menu and the nuts and carrots that we did not order and are usually offered when ordering a beer, were charged.

    On a springy day, where the taste buds are blossoming like flowers, eager to new experiences, I went to catch up with my friend over lunch on the terrace. I called earlier to reserve, and a sweet host booked me a table. Upon arriving, a professional staff with genuine smiles welcoming us and guiding us to our table. The terrace is beautifully set, a simple decoration and light touch of color. First things first, one of the tastiest bread baskets I had, and a side of olive and walnuts tapenade. What I loved the most was the professionalism of our waiter Houssam; besides being knowledgeable of the menu, he was very helpful in the modifications we requested in our order. We had: Regular garden salad, that was not on the menu, yet was prepared to us Grilled salmon salad with raspberry vinaigrette: generous bunch of greens topped with the flaky salmon strips, the flavors marrying perfectly together; recommended dish. Not a fan of avocado, I requested additional veggies on the side and was not deceived! Shrimp orzo: a lightened version of risotto, aldente with a tomato sauce and crowned with shrimps with basil. Chef you are very creative! A highly recommended restaurant with reasonable prices and lovely service.

    Lily's Café is a great spot in Downtown Beirut to have a coffee, catch up with friends or enjoy a delicious meal! The place has a stunning interior design and a lovely outdoor area. They serve breakfast items, salads, sandwiches, main courses, desserts and a big selection of hot & cold beverages.

    Well worth a visit. Located in down town area it is a nice place for breakfast, lunch and late afternoon snacks. The area is very popular and the location is very accessible and parking is not too much of an issue. Pass by there when you are in the area.

    On a beautiful Friday down in Beirut, sitting on the sidewalk and enjoying fresh sunny spells and a refreshing sea breathe, I felt transported into another dimension, like if I traveled to the St. Germain street in Paris. A busy city, people chitchatting, women discussing their family problems while I dreamt... it felt good to sit here for a lunch meeting while enjoying Beirut, the future city of business and leisure. Located in the heart of Beirut’s triangle d’or, try Lily’s, a restaurant and cafe trotoire which is also a bakery and pastry shop. It starts by the details; the blue parasols, the marble tables with metallic frames, the design plates specially produced for Lily’s and the fully dressed waiters. Inside is another setup, more luxurious with two classy displays for bread and cakes. This restaurant reminded me of the restaurants up in the Trocadéro in Paris where one could eat and grab a bite for home.

    great food and price, sometimes they do mistakes but they fix everything. even gave me a free fruit plate which is great because i could not eat deserts. managers and waiters need a raise. 👍🏼🙏🏼

    The service has become a little bit slow with no notice of new people walking into the shop (it was not crowded or peak hour). Food and drinks are exceptional as usual. Prices need to be revised as the cappuccino costs more than a salad. Very pleasant atmosphere in both summer and winter. Tried desserts this time, tiramisu in a cup with multiple layers of biscuit was brilliant and the baba au rhum tasted like a proper original one!

    (At the ABC verdun branch) Very bad pancakes; dry, flaky, and taste like they were re-heated. Almond croissant was very good.
