Makan

Beirut


Makan’s serene space, bursting with antiques, is a feast for the aesthete as much as it is for the gourmand. The mostly Asian menus rotate weekly, the art seasonally, so no two visits are alike. A Lebanese and Sri Lankan buffet lunch in the garden, under the shade of grape vines, is a particular delight. There’s a great selection of Lebanese wines.

Reserve in advance for dinner. There is no sign on the street; look for the wall of vegetation and turn where it says Baffa House.
