Delicious place with a great service. Would definitely revisit again when i am in beirut. I suggest to try the tacos as they are amazing they may look small but they will make you full. And if you sit outside you will be visited by a friendly high end cat that only eats salmon and wagyu 🐱

27$ for 2 tacos that are extremely tiny. While they may have been delicious the prices are simply unreasonable. I am not sure who their clientele is but I can certainly say that it is overpriced and overhyped. If I pay 27$ for tacos I expect them to be mind blowing and satisfy my hunger unlike these which required me to order more food. Would rate it 1 star if the food wasn't good.

So pleased to find this fabulous place, amazing view, lovely sandy beach, fantastic food and service. Very welcoming. Thumbs up for meet the fish in Batroun.

Seafood focused place next to Saifi Village, so that is what you will get in different forms (soups, salads, breads, grilled etc.). From coffees only espresso is served. The seating outside looks lovely but is not comfortable. Service was not very effective. Prices pretty high.

"Meat the Fish" in Beirut meets global standards with its exceptional food quality. From succulent salmon to exquisite fatty bluefin tuna, flavorful seabass, and tender meats, the flavors are unforgettable. The ambiance and attentive staff complete the outstanding dining experience. A must-visit for food enthusiasts.

Loved the place! Highly recommended for raw fish eaters. Slightly expensive for whoever is looking for an economy meal. I would definitely go there again (lunch only) I don’t think it’s suitable for dinners.

Experiencing high quality and the best ingredients in Lebanon!

Meet the fish is probably one of the most overrated restaurants in Lebanon . The food was really normal and there was nothing special about it in addition to the the fact that portions aren’t even good for an average person . Also , prices there aren’t logical at all considering portions and ingredients .

Nice place to visit ! It was coffee time and the service and the waiter was very professional !

Nice ambience. Great food and drinks. Service was the only thing slightly letting the place down

The place is nice!! The food is good especially the tacos, but the whole eating experience is not exceptional!! Overpriced (expensive) compared to the place style and food quality. We came as a group of 4 (from Jordan) and we paid 330$.. very overpriced for a restaurant in Lebanon.

Delicious food, great staff.. and super cute oyster ashtrays! Definitely try the shrimp tacos and oysters.

It should be a nice and chilled place, but it is unexplicably expensive. I mean the place looks nice and unpretentious. You get in it's chill. You can chose the meat and the fish (from plastic packages in a freezer) and the you eat it with regular side dishes likemashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, whatever. They have some real nice appetizers like oysters and all, but it definitely doesn't look like the size of the bill you'll get. It would get five stars easy if it came out at a third of the price. If I'm willing to spend that much money, I'm going to one of the many upscale restaurants in town. If I want a chill place, I'd go to one of the many cheap restaurants in town.

The prices are tooo expensive and wine prices By glass is a trap . The food good but the cost is disaster

Meat the fish is a must visit restaurant when you’re visiting downtown Beirut. It is one gem of a restaurant. The problem with this place is that you gotta squeeze yourself inside because the place is tiny and even outside because you gotta sit on a narrow sidewalk. And although the food is amazing the prices are sky high. Sometimes it’s worth it, but sometimes it’s not!

One of the top places i town however Today the black bao bun - It had some hard flavour that left me and my wife feeling a littlr sick for 3 hours afterwards (not sure if we are over sentsitive to a certian ingredient or something was off..) Beef tacos are always amazing though so are the raw fish items and salads

Every time we go, the food is consistently great and the atmosphere is amazing. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming

If rating the food only I would say a really good place as the burger were amazing. However once you factor in the price of the various items, it becomes ridiculously expensive 37$ for a very tasty tiny burger, 7$ pr oyster etc

I got salmon from Meat the Fish. Simply put it in the oven with olive oil n herbs. Divine! Amazing quality.

I really loved the food it is very delicious you must try when visiting Beirut. Try these two dishes black-cod donburi and miso eggplant.

The food was good. The service was appalling. Shame.

(Translated by Google) Nice place, the concept is not clear enough, difficult to make a choice (Original) Endroit sympa, le concept n est pas assez clair, difficile de faire son choix

Small portion compare to the price, noisy, service ok

Good food limited options

Fantastic place, the personal sow friendly

What i loved the most is the trattoria feeling and enjoying the international meal, come back stronger guys

Amazing place food is superb a unique experience overall

A must try experience, the food is just amazing, the salmon is extra tasty! The outdoor seating is nice but not that comfortable.

The food was really tasteless, and didn’t feel or taste fresh. On top of that it was very overpriced. We ended up paying $200 for 3 people. Wouldn’t go there again for sure

Love the atmosphere but the food delivery took its sweet time and the menu is over priced. Food was fresh especially the salmon, salads and avocado.

Nice fresh seafood , fast service & good staff Big menu best market salad , nice taco Mixed menu seafood & meat

We were here for early light lunch. They have fresh fish every day and the avocado toast with smoked salmon is delicious. Definitely worth going and very close to the mosque if you are around in this area

This place remains one of the best places in the world for me to get the freshest , best quality, and tastiest food. With everything happening in Beirut, they are still operating on a whole different level. So proud of establishments that hold true to their values and what they set up to do.

Among the Best in matter of sea food and meat as well ...

A little overpriced (over $60 per person) but every penny worth it to be honest. Ceviche wasnt great (we ordered it with smoked salmon) but as usual, the sashimi platter and market salad were amazinggg! The cucumber starters they brought were also really good. They didnt have many items, so we ended up ordering the fish and ships as a main. The sauce was a yuzu ponzu mix and was interesting with the fish. The fish was tiny and quite a bit overcooked. I’ll be back to try their bizri and definitely for that sashimi. Melts on your tongue. Also unrelated but that bathroom is the cleanest public bathroom ive ever seen. Love it ✅ love that the standards here dont change.

Great quality fish

Always fresh and healthy food. Specially like the Grain Bowl on Fridays. But all salmon dishes are also excellent. Nice presentation.

Little over priced and worth it! Sea food at best also can find cud ; mussels and of course a great selection of oysters!

Cozy place with a very simple menu to indulge in sushi and fresh fish. Prices are a bit higher but it's so worth to try the delicious specials of the day. Table to be shared or nice seating by the window.

Modern food , great ambience

Great, cozy and creative

Great food. Scallops were melt in your mouth good. The roast beef sandwich was heaven. A bit pricey, though.

Pretty chill spot where my friends and I like to hangout when we don’t know what we’re in the mood for exactly, be it coffee and/or nibbles that might evolve into full on lunch or dinner. Vegetarian options. Located in the Quartier des Arts in Saifi village, the surroundings are of a polished Beirut charm. They have a lot of imported goods, some good dessert stands (recommend the Rouba Khalil cookies, peanut butter and salted caramel popcorn and the coconut ice cream lolly from the fridge). A bit overpriced and trying a bit too hard with the niche imported goods on the shelves.

Slightly overpriced for the dishes served. Awkward setup. Quality of food is good but seating is uncomfortable, the items served in bowls and treys need more space than the bar seating can provide. Some dishes are hit and miss, a lot are sub par. General room for improvement with flavors because the quality is good.

Fresh, great taste, expensive but mostly worth it.

Healthy tasty food

Good but overpriced

Extremely expensive for the amount of food served. The dishes are prosaic and not worth your time. Also, it is not a fish restaurant.

Amazing food selection

I love it

It’s a cool hangout and the food is great. Unfortunately, the prices ruin the whole experience.

Very ecpensive

(Translated by Google) Small ultra fresh fish restaurant. It is also possible to buy fish or other products to take away. The restaurant is very nice especially when we visited the city under the heat because it is very cool. The atmosphere could be reminiscent of a restaurant in Scandinavia. The decoration is raw but corresponds to the atmosphere. The dishes are very fresh and excellent. A very good place to recommend. (Original) Petit restaurant de poisson ultra frais. Il est possible également d'acheter son poisson ou d'autres produits à emporter. Le restaurant est très agréable surtout lorsque l'on a visité la ville sous la chaleur car il y fait très frais. L'ambiance pourrait faire penser à un restaurant en Scandinavie. La décoration est brute mais correspond bien à l'ambiance. Les plats sont très frais et excellents. Une très bonne adresse à recommander.

Excellent and light menu

Amazing place u love the food , service is great .

Food is over priced but getting ur fish there for home cooking is great

Good food but too expensive. 20$ for avocado toasts and coffee, really too much. It is rich district, but bit of equilibrium is needed.

Love this place

Overpriced and boring. They haven't changed their menu in ages and I can't understand how people pay so much money to sit on a sidewalk. A place to see and be seen.

The quality for cost isn’t worth it neither is the negligent service. The casual atmosphere on the other hand is pleasant. 3 out of 5 of us got sick after having seafood here.

Amazing. As usual!!! Not overpriced for the quality it offers :)

Quality isn't as expected and the service is not only slow but also poor. Meet the turtle.

Perfect

Truly one of the freshest and yummiest seafood places in the saifi area. Always fresh , hot and delicious, this place serves its seafood at reasonable prices , prompt service and optimal hygienic conditions too.

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is Lebanese but the prices are American (Original) المطعم لبناني لكن الأسعار امريكاني

Great place, fresh fish, excellent Oysters, highly recommend

Light, tasty food. Excellent Sashimi.

I actually never reviews but I thought this was absolutely necessary to. Yes I'm western so my comment may seem it. But if you're looking for a nice, upscale place, with ACTUAL AIR CONDITIONING in Beirut, this is it. Not typical European/Lebanese bar service either. Bartender very attentive and helpful. They also take credit card, not many in Lebanon right now do. I had a dozen oysters that were surprisingly fresh! And you can pick the meat right from the fridge for them to cook. Sure it's pricey but for a reason. 5 star

We were there at around 3:00 ish....it was 65% full on a Monday...i started with oysters then shared the Salmon Sashimi platter ...and then Bagel cream cheese and Lox ...The oysters were out this world Fresh , i still have the Ocean taste in my mouth..my wife got the the Brie, avocado Turkey on rye sandwich which was a little dry..but Overall ..i would definitely recommend this Bistro in Saifi village to all..i will be going there for sure next week to try out their other hidden treasures....maybe King Crabs and Lobster.. ? if available.
