Abdel Wahab El Inglizi

Near the nightlife district of Monot, this stylish restaurant serves some of the city’s best Lebanese food. In the glass-fronted room and on the terrace, guests dine on impeccable renditions of dishes like tabbouleh and grilled kebabs. The restaurant offers a strong list of local and international wines and arak, a potent pastis-like anise spirit.

We loved: Fatte—layered dishes of garlic-spiked yogurt, grilled meat or vegetables, fried bread and pine nuts.
