Old Beirut lives on through clever recreations such as this chic coffeehouse, which is designed to evoke the city's 'Paris of the East' past. The menu features mezze and a choice of platters (burgers, shawarma, brochettes, falafel), but many head here for coffee and a nargileh, making good use of the cafe's backgammon sets and packs of cards.
