    The place is in the heart of Beirut down town! French cuisine, the food is so delicious and it is presented in very nice manner. It's a fancy place and you're in for a treat. Don't forget to have dessert at the end, you won't regret it!

    Paname’s location in the heart of Saifi is really iconic. It’s a sweet escape from the city while still being the heart of the city. Their food and service is really consistent. We love it every time we go there. Make sure to get the ceviche and the branzino!! The whole chicken is extremely juicy and delicious.

    A fantastic restaurant boasting a delightful ambiance. Impeccable service awaits amidst a newly redecorated interior that attracts a vibrant crowd. The menu boasts new additions, among which the excellent steak and fries shine brilliantly. The classic tomato salad is a refreshing choice, and one must not overlook the indulgence of the pavlova for dessert.

    Extremely overpriced, I feel I am in a London terrace with these prices Food is average nothing on the menu they really stands out, small portions. Staff is cold and not friendly Beautiful terrace, perhaps for a coffee it can be a good experience

    Parisian vibes done best at this Saifi restaurant. Really felt transported and with the great service the experience is complete. I would recommend however changing the seats outside into more comfy ones. As for the food we ordered: The beetroot carpaccio with goat cheese salad: very tasty and beautifully presented The shredded greens kale with the salmon sashimi on the side: again the outstanding presentation and good taste with asparagus: fulfilled any salad fan crave The special green salad with asparagus and almonds Balanced flavors and laid back atmosphere, would definitely come back to try more as it was recommended

  • 4/5 Rodolphe G. 5 years ago on Google
    Great. Waw. Excellent location, feels like being seated in a cozy chic parisian plaza. What amazed most is the meticulous attention of staff. I.e. a friend dropped juice on her mobile, the waiter immediatly offered help to clean it up. Food is great, we ordered a collection of entrées. Marinated salmon is full of taste, fruity back taste. The salad was delicious too. I loved the burger, a generous portion of tasty meat. Steak meat was not the greatest. Guys you are great. Keep the great work.

    I don’t usually wait so impatiently for a restaurant to open, but that was the case with Paname. The reason for this impatience: Chef Youssef Akiki. For me, Burgundy’s chef is one of the best, if not the best chef in Lebanon. When I saw the opening announcement, my heart skipped a beat. I had to reserve. Finally, I was walking around in the pleasant Saifi environment with this Almost French restaurant as my destination. When we arrived, we were greeted with people casually sitting outside and a very friendly staff. We were led to our table and given our menus. I scrutinized all of the listed items and wanted to taste as much of the variety provided as I could. We ordered the Seared Bluefin Tuna Ceviche and Scottish Salmon Carpaccio as starters. For mains, we ordered the Spaghetti with Speck, the Wagyu Beef Burger, and the Grilled Plaice. We wanted to order the Grilled Black Angus Tenderloin but it was unavailable. The first items that were placed on our table were a basket of bread, and the wines we had asked for. Then, it really began. The appetizers arrived. The presentation was beautiful; it was reminiscent of Burgundy’s finesse. Both the salmon and the tuna were delicious. The seasoning was well-balanced and the combination of flavors all coming together in one bite was delightful. I loved how the mango tidbits complemented the tuna perfectly. We proceeded with our main dishes soon after. The spaghetti was cooked just right and the sauce was light and creamy. As for the burger, the doneness of the meat rendered it juicy and succulent, making it stand out despite its simple flavor profile. The fish was also extremely tender and moist, and the other components on the plate along with the dressing enhanced the taste even further. When it was time for dessert, the waiter informed us that they would be complimentary. They even refused to charge us for an additional dessert we wanted to pay for. We had the Strawberry Panna Cotta, the Tiramisu, and the Chocolate Mousse. The sauce smothering the cream in the panna cotta was fresh and intense, and the Tiramisu was rich and tasty. Honestly, I preferred both to the mousse dessert, although it was still really good as well. All in all, the service was great and I enjoyed my meal from beginning to end. My taste buds were left widely awakened and longing for more of those creations with flavorful ingredients, especially those fishy appetizers that will keep me coming back for more.

    In the heart of Saifi, the chic quarters of Beirut comes Paname, a French bistro or almost as they like to call it. Paname is the newborn of “Burgundy”, Lebanon’s best restaurant. Simpler and less fine-dining, Paname welcomes you for a French experience with inspirations from Italy and flavors from Lebanon. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, Paname promises an enjoyable culinary experience from the chef behind Burgundy, the one and only Youssef Akiki. It’s the terrace, a space in the heart of vibrant Beirut, a transportation or the streets of Paris and back. Oh my God! That bread! The crunchiest envelop our there embraces the most tender and softest bread ever. Air nominales, moisture and a load of flavors. That’s not a bread for the faint of heart. Bread, left me impressed. Multi-cereal is even better, the fine crunch of cereals each adding a touch of flavor.

    An excellent restaurant, service, location, crowd and surely food. The down side, desserts are not that good and the restaurant is a bit more expensive than what it deserves.

🫤 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 th...

👍👍 Somehow fancy place. You will find new sophisticated dishes. The portions are small but the dish will definitely make you full. Prices starting 85,000 LBP per dish, up to I think around 650,000 LBP per dish. You should pass by the place as it represents a new style. The seatings are really nice and...
