A very interesting and cozy place to have a good glass of wine on a chilled night. Setting is very warm and gives a homy feel. The service is very good and the food is exceptional. It is definately a Place to visit in every trip to Beirut.

You will enjoy the cosy, calm, and romantic atmosphere. The food is great, the service is familial, and the available wine range is so wide. Hint: the local lebanese wine is great and shouldn t be missed.
