    Visit on Friday 7th of February, 2020. The food was amazing and delicious. Great service. Shisha was very good too. We ordered appetizers such as zaatar salad, moutabal, Bait fish, octopus grill, and octopus fried with garlic lemon sauce. We had local fish "Mallifa". Super yummy taste. A great experience and highly recommended.

    Appetizers are below average, fried fish is tasteless. Grilled fish was not cleaned well, the bones were still in it. Employees are disinterested and somewhat rude. There are many other good places to go in the city. Don't waste your money.

    In the frame of the Lebanese hospitality, we enjoyed dinner by the sea in Amchit. Chez Zakhia was on top of the recommended spots and we did not regret the choice. The location is appealing: just by the sea a huge restaurant spread over two floors: indoor and outdoor where you can almost dip your toes in the emerald sea. With enchanting voices of the waves clashing and the sky reflecting over the water shadowing the playful tiny fish we sat and enjoyed our dinner served by amazing staff. A Lebanese mezze spread to satisfy the eyes and the stomach: Rich sea food salad that could be a meal on its own, as citrusy as you like it Creamy moutabbal and hummus Shnaklish with onions, tomatoes and parsley to mix and indulge Stuffed vines leaves like mom cooks them Tajin was tasty but would have preferred more fish in it, I am greedy! Shrimps à la provencale cooked to perfection Sabbidej melting in your mouth as tender as ever Fried fish rolls and fish kibbe: rich in flavors and crunchy Batata harra: my least favorite as it was too oily Ending the meal with both fried and grilled catch of the day fish both enjoyable Lebanese hospitality in such renowned restaurants goes on to the offering of seasonal fruits and traditional desserts to end the meal with a huge smile. It is a must try! Come and enjoy a very relaxing eve savoring sea food and other tasty creations by the sea!

    A solide five star restaurant. The food is amazing and the service is excellent. When compared to other Lebanese seafood restaurants, the value here is very good because you get superior quality food at a fair price. Highly recommended whenever you’re visiting Jounieh.

    Went there on Sunday for lunch, welcoming staff, polite waiters and helpful, clean place and attractive, original decoration, indoor and outdoor seatings, relaxing atmosphere with breathtaking view, fast service, delicious food and fresh but could be better, affordable prices, recommended.

    The food was below average, seafood appetizers tastes like outdated , fried fish was super oily. However, the service was great and the ambience was so relaxing which made us sit there for hours. All in all its not a place to be re-visited.

    We went for dinner on a weeknight, the restaurant was out of all seafood mezze. We ended up eating salad hommos and potatoes. The service was really bad, that we literally had to beg for bread to eat the hommos 10 minutes after the hommos was served. I guess maybe working on a proper par-level and training the waiters to pay attention to the small details would turn it into a better experience . It is really a shame because the view on the bay is really majestic.

    Loved the experience at Chez Zakhia especially after being away from Lebanon for 4 years. The food was amazing. We had the shrimp provencal, and Sultan Ibrahim. Both were exceptionally very good! Also, portions are big and fulfilling. Highly recommended 🫶🏽

  • 4/5 Maarouf F. 11 months ago on Google
    The place is nicely designed with traditional lebanese stone and a beautiful sea view . The waiters are extremely friendly and knowledgeable. the food used to be much better I will give it 3.5 out of 5.

  • 2/5 claude b. 11 months ago on Google
    Very disappointing lunch! the ashtray was dirty, the salt holder was sticky and dirty. the waiters didn’t inspire cleanliness, the calamar was rotten we sent it back and we got a hair in the salad!! we had invited people and felt terrible with this place! the only good thing was the seating close to the sea will never return !

    Good seafood with a view, service is excellent and fast, the food is very good but not top notch will visit again to taste different menu items.

  • 4/5 Maria-Elena K. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful setting. The food was nice, the staff is very friendly. If you can sit outdoors by the water, it's absolutely worth it.

  • 4/5 Sabina N. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the good seafood places in lebanon for a nice lunch/dinner out. A nice vibe with an amazing view. Service isn’t the best.

  • 1/5 Mazen G. 1 year ago on Google
    As my first time in there and after checking the Menu we made our order including a fish soup listed on the Menu which we were told it's not always available and it's a seasonal thing 😀 While eating our lunch 4 people came to sit on a table next to us and to my shock they ordered 4 plates of soup and they brought for them the soup that is a seasonal thing, And when I confronted the floor manager about it, he started making excuses about them calling before coming and ordering it which is a lie because I heard them ordering when they came... Oh well, guess You have lost a customer

    We thought that we will have good dinner experience, since chez zakhia have good reputation, but infortunatly it was disaster. All of us (8persons ) we agree that it was so awful in all meaning ....

  • 2/5 Toros S. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was slow and bad, we visited ches Zakhia for a late lunch but it seemed that none of the employees were willing to serve! I talked to the manager and he told me that the service is not as anticipated since its between two shifts and he did nothing to help

  • 1/5 Arz L. 1 year ago on Google
    The worst food and service, you could ever get in Lebanon, even with the involvement of the owner and his son we still received the worst experience. It's a shame Chez Zakhya

  • 1/5 Omar F. 1 year ago on Google
    I went to it today. They were not so welcoming. The service was not so good, it took them some time to serve us what we ordered. We even found hair in the food. We lift running from this place! I don’t recommend it at all.

  • 2/5 Alan 1 year ago on Google
    The food is still good but it used to be much better. It was very hot and fan not working/damaged. Service was very good, the fish tasty.
