Amongst the many restaurants available in Beirut, we decided to go to Couqley, Delicious food, pleasent atmosphere and friendly staff. Wide selection of wines @ affordable prices. Although this was not my first experience at Couqley, I would strongly advise it to anyone that appreciates fine cuisine. A guaranteed Yes.

The spicy calamari salad, steak tartare and mousse au chocolat and creme brûlée are excellent. Bruch menu (eggs benedict) is to die for. The only thing is that it... More

Good food, authentic flavors, good service. A little pricy, but fair. Can't say I adore the place but it's good.
