    On a dark Friday night we decided to have dinner at margherita mare for comfort food. The place is located in the old souk, by the sea. We ordered the diavola pizza ( 129 000 LBP), the insalata con caprino e mela verde (75 000 LBP) and the minted lemonade ( 15 000 LBP) The food was delicious, the service friendly and the ambiance super chill.

    This place was one of my favorite Italian restaurants in Jounieh, and still one to be visited. Unfortunately and with the worsening situation in the country, place is not up to its previous standards. Though understandable yet my rating has to be honest: Food: 5 ⭐️(delicious and fries were fresh) Service: 3-4 ⭐️ Staff friendliness: 3 ⭐️ Speed: 4 ⭐️ Price: 3 ⭐️ (very overpriced with the situation in Lebanon and the state of the place) Cleanliness: 4⭐️

    Italian atmosphere at the beach. Great Italian background music, exquisite food and a view to die for. While you dine, you can see the waves hitting the shore and rocks at the beach. Add a formaggio e fungihi pizza with Almaza beer 😋

    A real Italian food finally !!! This place is so cosy near the sea and good for couples and big group and sure for families, prices are good and the food is so Italian and so tasty specially the pizzas , Note: don't forget the Italian rule, don't add ketchup to your pizza or u will be insulting the chef 😉🙃 cause as u know he spent so much time preparing the pizza sauce .. drop a visit and u won't regret . Cheers

    Beautiful branch for sunset lovers near the beach. Bruschetta Al Pomodorino e Basilico is my favorite appetizer. It consists of a toast bread topped with cherry tomatoes and pesto sauce. As for pizza, I tried Pizza Marinara which is a very basic pizza. It contains tomato sauce, garlic and oregano. You can add parmesan cheese with hot oil which makes very delicious. For pasta, we tried Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, it was good.

    Nice place and food is tasty but could be better if they introduce new plates. The service was slow while the restaurant was mostly empty. I love Margherita Mare and I recommend it.

    The 5 stars go to the food and the relaxing view and atmosphere. Service is quick but the staff need to be more jolly and friendly. The food is soooo delicious like seriously so yummy. Italian wine is so good too. We sat just by the water and it was the perfect sunset view and the most delicious Italian meal we've had in a while. Highly recommended if you're a fan of Italian food and sunsets.

    Amazing italian restaurant in an old lebanese charming house, with tables right on the beach, and the amazing view of Jounieh's bay. The food is delicious, especially the marguerita pizza, the prociutto y funghi pasta, and end it with a true Italian Tiramisu. Perfect for couples, tourists, first date, or even family gatherings. Recommended for dinner.

    Same franchise as margherita, same menu but with a wider selection of seafood salads pizzas ans pastas. The best asset of this restaurant is the outdoor seating as their balcony is right besides the beach. When the waves are high you'll even get wet. Wide selection of desserts and great taste. Friendly staff

  • 2/5 Sarkis Bou N. 4 months ago on Google • 43 reviews
    The ambiance and atmosphere were good as a new Italian kitchen style. The service was acceptable, and the waiter was friendly. But when we gave them the review, they didn't care about our opinion. We ordered: 1- Bruschetta Al Pomodorino E Basilico: There were too many tomatoes with domination of thym taste inside the pesto. 2- Insalata Caesar Con Salmone Affumicato: The quality of salmon and parmesan was good, but the taste of the dressing was only mayonnaise without any spices. 3- Pizze Bresaola: it was very good, and it was made with a wodden oven with the good Italian taste. 4- Tagliolini Al Tartufo Nero: It was a disaster. The dish was too oily.

  • 3/5 Andre A. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place and location if you are seeking a restaurant by the sea in Jounieh But i found the food and sea smell not to be so fancy when you are aiming for a dinner in fact. The service is moderate and the price is a bit high for the quality you get.

    (Translated by Google) the boys need refreshments. served a risotto 10 minutes before the piszza de l'autee client. (Original) les garcons ont besoin de rafraichissements. ont servi un risotto 10mn avant la piszza de l autee client.

  • 4/5 George J. 4 years ago on Google
    Not bad the food. But i think the staff should be more often checking the tables and if there are any needs for customer. Staff service i will say 3 stars but for the food 4 stars. Dont wait the customer to call you check theyr tables and ask 1 in a wyle how things are going !! This is my advise. Good luck

    Amazing hidden gem in Jounieh by the sea. An amazing Italian cuisine that you shouldn’t miss. The food is of great quality, clean, the staff are super helpful and friendly. Ideal for lunch, dinner and sunset drinks. While sitting outside you will enjoy the beautiful sea view. Highly recommended during summer days and nights.

  • 5/5 Jad A. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best pizza places to try in Lebanon! It's located in the heart of Jounieh Old souk, right by the sea. Have a delicous wooden pizza while enjoying the cozy atmosphere and beautiful views!

  • 4/5 Elias B. 2 years ago on Google
    Don’t let the somewhat the entrance fool you, this place is really nice. The pizza is excellent and stays faithful to its Italian roots. Best crust and cheese along with an enormous variety. Don’t skip this spot, probably the best pizza in the bay area

    It was a sunny day and I love the sun. It stood there shining, seducing us to go outside, so lunch at Margherita Mare it was. Right beneath the restaurant lies the majestic sea and we have enjoyed its salty taste in our mouths several times before. However, when you sit indoors, you are seated underneath beautiful stoned arches; this gives the eatery a warm earthy setting, in my opinion. First, a bread basket with tomato dip is placed on the table to welcome you. The bread was fluffy and the dip had a nice tang to it. We started out with the mixed fried calamari and prawns with vegetables. The shrimps were the best thing on that platter, but I have tasted a better version of this dish elsewhere. We then ordered our favorite pizza at Margherita (and one of our favorites in the country): the Saltimbocca. Their smoked mozzarella is really delicious. We also had pasta with shrimps; I appreciated that they made the sauce pink for me with no fuss, and I liked that their penne was al dente. Unfortunately, none of their desserts called out to me, and with the restlessness of my fidgety toddler, we concluded that it was time to leave. As usual, lunch was pleasant at Margherita and it wouldn’t be our last.

    Inconsistent quality. Sometimes it's superb and sometimes mediocre. Reluctant to go back, not sure how that night will go.

  • 1/5 Joelle M. 1 year ago on Google
    Obvious regression of what used to b my most-liked restaurant. Fried Calamari chewy ... the cat enjoyed the most. Gnocchi in 4 cheeses sauce .. mushy gnocchi coated with flavorless sauce. turned to be margarine and milk (low quality) literally tastes like mhalabiye. Spicy aoli spaghetti. Not spicy.. no taste. Just swimming in oil. Yet what disappointed me the most... the Manager who doesn’t respond well to criticism , very stubborn, unprofessional and bad mannered ... who kept on kicking a poor cat in front of everybody . Never again!

  • 5/5 AbdulRahman A. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely atmosphere and quite romantic. We got tagliolini pasta with salmon, a plate of rigatoni, and a great bottle of Chianti wine. Would definitely recommend this place to get out of Beirut, enjoy the sea, and excellent quality Italian food.

  • 5/5 Hisham T. 3 years ago on Google
    A lovely place nestled in the heart of the old souks of jounieh. The food is good and the service excellent. But the best thing about it is its location.. it is quite an experience dining there, right on top of the seashore, with the view of the bay of jounieh for you to enjoy (granted you get a seat at one of the seaside tables).

    It seems it is not the same place, it's like they serve frozen pizzas nowadays, the dough was wet. We also ordered pasta which has 0 taste. The food was delivered extremely fast we knew it wasn't prepared fresh.

    Pizzas were excellent. We had a sample of 5, so it was quite representative. Great scenery as well, right on the rocks, seaside. Would have granted 5 stars if the men's bathroom were clean, they were very unpleasant, especially during corona time.

    One of the best Italian restaurants in Lebanon. This branch is situated along the Jounieh Bay and includes an amazing outdoor seating area near the sea. Food and service are great as always. Recommend the eggplant bruschettone, the pizzas, the raviolis and the tiramisu for dessert.
