    Great ambiance with new management. Definitely reservation is needed. Bar staff very accommodating and keen to show skills. They have also an inside PDR for group reservations. Great spot for a drink

    I usually am the type who doesn’t write reviews even if the restaurants is bad, But this time I am extremely disappointed that I wanted to share the experience I had today in Villa Badaro. We went for a dinner for three and ordered 3 veal fillets, The waiter came and insisted they would put them in one large dish with a very good presentation since if you order apparently multiple similar plates they combined them, we insisted we wanted them separate but he really borderline forced it to put it in one plate, that it became really annoying to even debate. And when the plate came, behold how horrible it was, just few minces of meat and a large potato in the center with sauce all over it to hide the fact that this was for 3 people and 750,000 LBP and barely it could be for one person. Really shame, we had to order a pizza to satiate ourselves a little. The pizza was good though, I now will stop recommending this restaurant they really have messed it up this time especially that profiteroles were also bad, but i don’t want this review to go any longer.

    We went to this restaurant to celebrate my sister’s birthday. We were so disappointed, two of the staff were so rude and kept starring at us. We left the place earlier because we felt unwelcomed and uncomfortable. Otherwise the food was tasteful with tiny portions. One of the waitress named Ziad was friendly and helpful, ask for him if you wanna visit this resto. In my opinion, the place is overrated.

    One of the most quite places I’ve been to. The ambience is fantastic. Good music in the background. Friendly staff and waiters. Food was served very quickly. One of the best truffle pizzas i have ever tried. Credits to Eddy as well for helping us choose the best dishes and serving us with a smile😊 Recommend for couples or a small gathering.

    The garden outside is the main reason for my repeated visits to Villa Badaro. Service is friendly and efficient, but drinks and food are not up to the same standards. The restaurant can benefit greatly by reducing prices on drinks and improving the quality of food. I will still go back because the garden is pleasant and there are very few in Beirut that could compete!

    Its an old villa in the heart of the city, offering tasty dishes and a great service. The Australian steak they serve is just perfect and up to your expectations. Only one note to be taken, which is that the sauces in salads and other dishes need to be a little less so the course doesn’t lose its main taste. Rock shrimps are also a must order starter!!

    The setting is amazing. Super calm space away from city turmoil. The atmosphere is healthy and refreshing. I was greeted by Eddy, the bartender. He offered me a drink and we had a nice chat. The other waiters were very friendly, especially Bob. I liked how they were personally interested in our comfort. We ordered the Sweet Beef and the Mini Burgers. The presentation was good. The portions are very generous. The sauce was very well done. The fries were YUM and super CRISPY. However: the prices are too expensive in the appetizers and drinks section. The Sweet Beef meat was nothing close to smoked meat. I've had smoked meat before but this tasted like un-cooked "rosto". The sliders meat was a bit chewy... AND the tables were very dusty...

    Probably the best new restaurant I've found in years! Great service, very nice food. The menu is interesting with a few unusual items that actually turned out to be totally delicious (the the shrimp and carrot puree starter!). Been for lunch and dinner in winter - great atmosphere in the garden, which is where most tables are. It is covered and heated.

    A third visit with a different experience enhanced by the hospitality of Tarek and the knowledgeable waiter Patrick. A better reception and service. Ultimate food recommendation, taste and presentation. The garden decoration is back and better then before. We ordered: - Nappa chicken salad: a perfectly balanced mix of vegetables, rice noodles and chicken coated in a a sweet and sour Japanese dressing - Goat cheese salad: i loved the dressing and the creativity of the beetroot sauce however the texture of the goat cheese was not pleasant. - Tuna tataki; huge difference from last time: fresh slaw, and the same tasty marinade - jumbo shrimps over carrot puree: i appreciated the freshness of the puree yet i did not like the taste. I preferred the tasty marinade that was equally used as glaze. The sweetest end of the meal was crowned by the chocolate chip cookie served sizzling hot in a pan with scoop of vanilla icecream and beautifully decorated with a cinnamon stick: A MUST TRY! The bartender customized a ginger minted lemonade for me and an old fashioned for my friend.

    Beautiful pub concept in Badaro! I tried A BIT OF HEAVEN (raspberry infused smirnoff black with strawberry puree) and MANGO IN THE JUNGLE (smirnoff twist orange, mango puree, mango syrup, and lemon juice). I loved more mango in the jungle.
