    Cute little place to get work done or have some drinks! You can sit inside or outside. The decoration is so cute! Note: music can be loud inside but I'm sure they can lower it for you if you ask ;) Service was wonderful as well! Loved the iced latte and chocolate peanut butter cake! One thing I didn't like is that the ventilation was not very good, so inside it smells like anything they are preparing in the kitchen. So If you don't like the smell of food, choose to sit outside!

    I am not a vegan and I really enjoy good quality meat. Went there with a vegan friend and the experience was pleasant from start to finish. The place is very cozy and romantic, and the staff is casual and friendly. The biggest shock for me was when I tasted their version of a bolognese pasta fully vegan. The dish was so delicious I forgot to stop and take pics for it! for sure this dish is a must when you go there. As you can also see from the pictures, I tried their vegan burger that has fresh ingredients, but which doesn’t really stand out like the other dish. Also their guacamole is tasty served with some nachos. Just go there when you re in mar mkhayel, order that pasta dish, and I am sure your opinion about vegan food would change for sure. Thank you guys for making that night enjoyable

    One of my favorite spots in Beirut. It is charming and cozy, perfect for the day or at night. The Pink Señorita cocktail is one of the best cocktails I’ve had. Our server Mike was very friendly and was a hustler (he was the only one there, so he was busy but managed all of the tables well). It is a dog friendly place, and they have a picture of dogs on each table that are up for adoption, which I thought was kind. For food, I tried the summer rolls, which were delicious. I can not recommend Orenda enough!

    Beautiful hidden spot in Mar Michael street, it's a place where you can have a nice cup of coffee and have delicious vegan food. They also have excellent cocktails, i recommend trying the sangria 👌. You'll definitely notice the cool design of this place as it shows great artistic work in it. Also check out the shop inside where you can find lots of cool vegan-type products. Highly recommended

    Orenda has definitely earned its title of « Beirut’s hidden gem » . It has become the equivalent of home for me in lebanon. Everything about this place is beyond adorable. The owners are insanely welcoming , the staff is amazing , the food is excellent (for someone who is not even vegan) I haven’t missed a dish on the menu and I am always spoiled for choice, even their drinks are out of this world. But more importantly than all of this , it’s the feel of the place, the details that you see in every single corner, the beautifully designed garden, the energy you get the second you step in and the overall atmosphere. You can’t beat that even if you try and it doesn’t hurt that it’s dog friendly ans has the cutest items to buy form the concept store. Orenda definitely lives up to all its reviews, can’t recommend it enough. It has been my happy place back in lebanon since its opening.

    Orenda is an amazing café in Mar Mikhael, with a charming interior and a beautiful garden! You can come during the day for a coffee in a relaxing atmosphere or at night for some drinks and lovely vibes. As for food, they serve Vegan items sush as sushi, tacos, bowls, toasts.. Also, the place is pet friendly so don't hesitate to bring your pets.

    A surprise find that proved it's weight in gold! Love the atmosphere, the ambiance and the overall vibe! The staff is wonderful and very helpful. Let's not forget the food!! I had the burrito and it was delicious! If you're in the area, you shouldn't pass this hole in the wall! A true gem!

    One of the places that I'd call a hidden gem. The staff are absolutely wonderful, friendly, and very welcoming. The food is great, and the coffee is okay. Best part about this place: you can come in and spend the day with your laptop, grab your coffee, a great meal, and finish it with a drink! The music is really nice as well, perfect for work or chatting with friends. I definitely recommend this place!

    (Translated by Google) It's my first time in this place, the burger is very tasty! Because of the situation, they are only serving to go, but I would have loved to have the experience in the restaurant, it looks very nice (Original) Es mi primera vez en este lugar, la hamburguesa esta muy rica! Por la situacion solo estan sirviendo para llevar, pero me hubiera encantado el poder tener la experiencia en el restaurante, se ve muy lindo

    My favorite place in Lebanon, has a warm atmosphere, nice music, lovely staff, very interesting concept store and tasty food! Quiet and peaceful for coffee and work during the day. The cafe lattee with coconut milk is sooo good.. i would also recommend to try the cakes with your coffee. Charming and cozy for an amazing dinner experience. The burger and salmon sushi are my favorite!! Lets not forget the alcohol.. pink señorita all the way!!!

    Great place overall... Cute set up, staff is super friendly, and the food was beyond expectation, and probably the best vegan meal we've had in lebanon... Highly recommend

    Orenda is the perfect hidden gem and one of my favorite spots in Beirut. This vegan cafe has a lovely garden, chilled out atmosphere, friendly owner and staff, creative and tasty food - and it’s dog-friendly! I’ve met friends here for coffee/lunch/drinks and always had a nice time. I will definitely be back the next time I visit Beirut ❤️

    That cute little spot inside an alley in mar mkhayel is a little magic potion, music, colors, staff, nature and more. From their famous neon sign and swing to the conservation of the authenticity of the place. Give them a visit to try their vegan dishes and speciality shots

  • 5/5 Anthony R. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious vegan food I recommend

  • 5/5 Yara Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious!!! We tried the vegan sushi, burger, and burrito. Absolutely everything tasted spot on! Can’t wait to go back and take some more photos and more importantly lol try all the other dishes! So happy to have such good vegan food in Lebanon.

  • 5/5 Nicolas S. 2 years ago on Google
    A cozy nest hidden in the busy Mar Mikhael. The atmosphere there is lovely, the service is excellent, the drinks are very good especially the sangria. Lounge and slow tempo music, not too loud, it's perfect. Nice terrace. The prices are high.

  • 5/5 vanessa n. 2 years ago on Google
    I simply love this place. Beautiful chilled music with amazing food. The drinks are pretty good too! Definitely give it a try 🌈

  • 5/5 Johnny Z. 2 years ago on Google
    I forgot to take pictures of the food 🙄 I'm quite a heavy meat eater and generally hate or at least have 0 excitement for vegan, but for the first time I can honestly say that vegan food is delicious 😆 and I mean DELICIOUS! Ambiance is wonderful for friend gatherings and dates, location is really nice and the service was awesome - staff are super friendly, available and happy to help. Definitely on my list of favorites!

  • 5/5 Chip P. 1 year ago on Google
    Without a doubt a must visit for vegetarian/vegan. Carnivore will love it also. Sign on the main road points you down an alley and it’s on the right. Visit on a warm night and sit out in the cosy courtyard. The cocktails were delicious. Every dish we had was fresh and packed full of flavour. Our waiter knew everything and made recommendations. It was quiet when we went so service was very attentive. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Hus N. 1 year ago on Google
    Went with my family. It was WOW! Seriously, the chef is extremely talented. Never tasted so many flavours, working together. Nothing compares. Even non vegans would fall in love with Orenda. Mallow in London was my favourite restaurant anywhere, but now that's at No.2. The restaurant is quaint with beautiful decoration and the service was perfect. This restaurant is why I love vegan restaurants, theyre attentive to detail. Pros: The best food worldwide, The best deco worldwide, The best service worldwide Cons: That I don't live in Lebanon 😔

  • 4/5 Hadil C. 4 years ago on Google
    It’s a really nice vegan place. The waiters are very welcoming and friendly! The menu has very interesting options which I’d love to try on my next visit. In our first visit, we went for the vegan burger and the salmon sushi. The vegan burger was absolutely amazing! So juicy and full of flavour. The sushi was a let down because it didn’t taste anything like salmon and the rice was undercooked. They could have just named the dish sushi - no need to fake a salmon flavour :/

  • 2/5 Lina S. 3 years ago on Google
    The place is cozy and relaxing.. We ve ordered 2 lemonades and 2 poke ... I didn't like the food nor the drinks.

  • 5/5 Johnny Hanna Y. 3 years ago on Google
    By far, food taste and service, by far the best we have experienced in a vegan restaurant in Lebanon! And personally the best vegan Lahm Baajeen i’ve tasted in leb.

  • 5/5 Lara W. 3 years ago on Google
    Very charming place in Mar Mikhael with an outdoor garden great for daytime coffee & work. I also loved it during the night, very chill atmosphere. Their food is a must try!!! The burger is out of this world. My favorites were also the sushi and eggplant toast. Definitely coming back!

  • 3/5 Yara A. 4 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and charming setup for a daytime coffee. Shared a farmers bowl and the vegan bolognese- i appreciate the effort for both. The bolognese was not bad- lacking some salt and was a little watery. The same with the farmers bowl- lacking flavor and the rice had a staleness to it. I ordered kombucha that was on the menu but it wasn’t available. I then ordered an oat milk latte on the menu which also wasn’t available. Finally i settled for a sparkling water- WHICH THEY ALSO DIDNT HAVE. The waitress was super sweet and courteous. Food wise theres a lot of room for improvement and flavors as well.

👍 A small yet homely place to enjoy German food and beers. They have indoor seating but the doors can be opened to have a semi outdoor. It is right at a busy intersection so the noise can be a little much. They have a good selection of beers and German food.
