The menu was not great, the flavours of the food offered were bland, and the bill was surprisingly high

I substantially agree with "Linda C" words: lovely space, easy to find, service very good, food came out fast......but I agree also with the concerns about the "lebanization" of Armenian tastes. Some of the plates were interesting (the vine leaves, the armenian sausages and the kebab with tomato sauces, the imitation of tabbuleh served with crude cabbage as bread) and... More

Went by myself as I was on business, but suggest going with friends so you can order more dishes. Everything I had was extremely good and waddled away very happy. You can't be disappointed in the menu or service. Tad on the expensive side for Beirut, but worth it.

I visited Mayrig on a Sunday for lunch, our table was amongst the first served and we basically ordered a dish or two from every menu section. The taste was great, the service friendly and the atmosphere quite charming. The excellent taste of hot spices here and there in most of the plates made them even more interesting. It's a... More

I am going against the tide here. We visited Mayrig a few nights ago and quite frankly, I was underwhelmed. Firstly, it's a lovely space. It was pretty full and the atmosphere was good. Easy to find but tucked away a bit nonetheless so it felt a bit special to suddenly come upon it. Service was good, food came out... More

Pure and simple, which I'm sure was the mantra of the "mayrig" inspired menu, the quality of food was a wow at every stage-from the mini spiced meat breads to the most exquisite ice cream I have EVER tasted (Haagen Dazs et al, Rose Turkish Delight flavour could perhaps be the greatest ice cream ever made!!) Mayrig is a must... More

So the first time I heard Armenian food, was thinking essentially of deep fried meat and some pretty basic fare. This restaurant changed all that. The food is superb! It as hints of Turkish and Lebanese food but very distinct. It is definitely something to try when in Beirut. The restuarant is tiny and very friendly. There is a singer... More

If it's your first time to try the Armenian food, you'll experience new taste. It's close to the Lebanese cuisine. I love their 'tabla' raw meat dish. They have a wonderful desert menu that you will try it all.
