    Delicious food and dessert. The place was perfect. It has an amazing view of Jounieh, and the overall entrance and design are really nice. Prices are fair. They also have a small playground for kids. Highly recommended, you should definitely try it, and make sure to leave room for dessert 😋😋

    2023.09.03 Dinner at Amar restaurant. The view of Jounieh City was awesome. It was very busy on a Sunday. Better reserve. The food was very tasty. The service was OK but it could be better. The place was crowded.

    Amar Harissa قمر حريصا Harissa Highway, Lebanon Serving authentic lebanese cuisine food items only. On the grill items along with hot and cold meza with a good selection of appetizers and sides. Along woth drinks and desserts options. Offering and seascape view, would be perfect at sunset for outdoor area. Staff is friendly but not that attentive. Food taste and quality were good but not outstanding. Valet parking available at location. There is a small kida playground outdoor when kids enjoyed their time. Would somehow recommend it, will appreciate the view more than the food itself. Salads, fattoush and Tabbouleh were excellent. Humus and moutabbal were below average. Hendbej and fries werw just okay. Items from the grill were very good.

    I loved this restaurant. Very delicious food, and the view is amazing. I visited in November 2021, so the windows were closed, but I am sure in the summer would be open for an unbreathable scenery. The waiter was very friendly and welcoming. He overheard my daughter getting excited about the pomegranate seeds on the baba ganouj, so he got her a plate of pomegranate seeds, and was thrilled. Would love to visit again.

    Lebanese restaurant located on the main road leading to Bkerke / Harissa. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating areas and has an amazing seaview overlooking the Jounieh bay. Food was really tasty and personnel friendly. Highly recommended!

  • 4/5 Christian H. 3 years ago on Google
    Lebanese restaurant with with beautiful view on jounieh bay. Few tables with a view in the indoor section, the outdoor one has much more places. The food is average and good. We loved hummus and shrimp penne. Taboule and sejok can be better.

    First they don’t answer the phone when trying to reserve. Second, there was no electricity. Third, the service is very slow. Fourth the menu has very limited options. The food was average. I expected to have a better experience.

    Went there on Sunday for lunch, nice location, wonderful view with outdoor playground, welcoming staff, clean place and attractive. We ordered some items between cold and hot mezza and bbq, the service was fast and the food was delicious, affordable prices, recommended.

  • 5/5 Joudy 9 months ago on Google • 56 reviews
    The food is amazing. I’ve never had such tender grilled meat. It truly is very high quality. Their tabbouleh is perfect (i usually always have something to criticize about a restaurant’s tabbouleh). Even their desserts are really good. Go there right before sunset to see the wonderful view (make sure to reserve a table by the sunset). The only thing I can criticize is their lack of fans at our table since the weather was pretty hot and the sun coming right at us, so we would have appreciated some cooling.

  • 2/5 ETIENNE R. 7 months ago on Google • 34 reviews
    The place was not clean. The table also were sticky. We went thinking the kids could play in the playgroug but it was not safe at all neither clean nor the starirs to the kids area were safe. Cats were crawling between our legs. The foor was of a very poor taste. The samboosek was awful the meat in it was disgusting. The arayes also had the same disgusting meat as the sambousek and barely had meat in them. The chicken came in raw and they tried to convince us that it is normal that the chicken color be reddish, they then replaced it with taouk that was the only thing eatable. The prices are expensive. Not recommended at all.

    We commenced our journey in Lebanon with an exquisite dinner at Amar. The cuisine was exceptional, the service top-notch, and the view simply breathtaking! We wholeheartedly recommend this experience and eagerly anticipate our return. Warm regards from Germany.

  • 3/5 Ghadi Al G. 2 months ago on Google • 16 reviews New
    Food: we ordered slightly a-typical mezza (hindbeh & fatte for example) and were positively surprised, however the typical mezza was disappointing. The cheese rolls weren't good (the cheese is tasteless), and the hummus & batata harra were very average. Service: it was great, the waiters were very friendly and always passing by (sometimes a bit too much, they took away a plate of hummus that wasn't finished yet but it's an understandable mistake - we were too shy to tell them to keep it as it wasn't worth it). Atmosphere: it was a Wednesday night in February so only indoor seating and the place was at 20% capacity max. I can imagine it's nicer in the summer when there's outdoor seating.

  • 1/5 Mohamad Al H. 3 years ago on Google
    Simply put, not worth it. The one star is for the view. Extremely overpriced and with mediciore food and service We ordered a BBQ chicken that was 35000 lbp (very overpriced). The chicken came with no fries or salad which cost another 35000 lbp. Even worst the chicken smelled old and was cold. When sent back the management refused to provide another or to remove it from the bill (though it remained untouched since it simply reaked). Instead they wanted to know when did it start smelling and to investigate the issue. Won't come back again and wouldn't recommend it either.

  • 4/5 Anthony C. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic views of Jounieh. Food is pretty good and service is acceptable. My only remark is about the bill. The waiter wanted to collect the bill in cash, which I thought was a cheap shot! Anyway, eventually paid with a cc. Recommended!

    Amazing food, excellent service and on spot, and definitely a breathtaking view to go with the chill atmosphere. Arabic mezza was tasty without exceptions, and the mixed grill as well. Was not able to find one dish not done well and deliciously, to be honest. Must visit!

    Great restaurant with a lot of lebanese dishes which was amazing. They also have all kinds of dirnk.. Alcoholic and non alcoholic. The view from the restaurant on the mountain in Jounieh area is really amazing and breathtaking, very calm and cozy place you must try. Also the waiter was very friendly and funny with us specially when he knows that we are from Egypt. Nice place and great vibes and sure good food and beverages with reasonable prices.

    A very nice restaurant with an amazing view at jounieh bay.The food is delicious and the service is good. Reservation is better especially to enjoy the best view. Enjoyy

  • 3/5 Hilal C. 1 year ago on Google
    I can rate this restaurant as one of the best in Lebanon, regarding the view (breathtaking panoramic views from Harissa mountain over Jounieh bay) and regarding the quality of food (excellent Lebanese food). I used to rate this restaurant as 5 stars but today i will give them 3/5. Although i had a reservation one day before coming and i insisted to have a table with a view, and the employee on the phone accepted my request. But they were so unwelcoming when we arrived and refused to give us such a table and they said they cannot give a table with a view for only 2 persons! And when we decided to leave, Mr Rodolph solved the problem and seated us on the table that i want. One more negative thing is that they don’t offer complimentary fruits and desserts after lunch or dinner like other well known restaurants.

  • 4/5 Amalia S. 1 year ago on Google
    Could’ve easily gave 5 stars the only issue was the seating. We made a reservation before just for the view but ended up with a table without a view. Eventually the problem was solved. All the staff was very understanding. So thumbs up from us. The food was top tier. Everything was super tasty and well presented. 6/5 on the food quality. Will definitely be coming back

  • 5/5 clarissa k. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an exceptional culinary experience at Amar. One of the best lebanese restaurants. Everything was amazing, from the quality of the food, to the presentation, the taste, the customer service, the staff, the ambience, the music, ... The dessert was super good. A must-try.

  • 4/5 Lebanese T. 9 months ago on Google
    Amar Harissa is a Lebanese restaurant located in Harissa, Lebanon. The restaurant is known for its traditional Lebanese cuisine, including hummus, baba ghanoush, shawarma, and grilled meats. The service is friendly and attentive, but the prices are on the high side. The restaurant is located in a beautiful setting overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The interior is decorated in a traditional Lebanese style, with whitewashed walls and terracotta tiles. The outdoor terrace is a great place to enjoy a meal al fresco.

  • 5/5 Elias H. 8 months ago on Google
    The staff was very kind and respectful. Amazing view. It was my girlfriend birthday so they started clapping and made it fun! A bee was flying over our table so they came with something to make it go away and i am very happy about their service! And i recommend this place it has a great ambiance!

  • 4/5 Jawad E. 9 months ago on Google
    We had a delightful time at your restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the view from the left side of the restaurant was breathtaking. However, we did encounter a slight issue with the waiters not being able to see us promptly, which led to some delays in service. Nonetheless, we appreciate the effort put into creating a wonderful dining experience, and we look forward to visiting again to relish your mouthwatering dishes and take in the mesmerizing view!

  • 5/5 Maya M. 6 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Our visit to Amar was for a late lunch so we can catch the sunset view which was incredibly amazing. With a warm welcoming and great service we had joy trying hommos pesto, batata harra, asafir (OMG), cheese stuffed triangles not fried🫡 chanklich, soujouk and rocca halloumi salad all the listed were so delicious and never forget to have arak with these amazing dishes🧘

😠 Service was good but the stuff aren't trained well and not professional enough. For the food, compared to the price the portions are very small, miserable food. Very disappointing experience. The only good thing was the view of jounieh. They need to improve a lot.
