The Berdawni River begins in the snowy mountains ofthe Bekaa Valley and courses right through the heart of Zahle, endowing the area with an unrivaled natural coolness. Restaurants line the river on the eastern side of town, offering the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful meal, while listening to the soothing sound of running water.

Long walking street with cliffs down to river on the left and restaurants and shops on the right. Lots of restaurants over the river as well, quite a hidden gem both in the bekka and in Lebanon. Would definitely recommend a visit to Zahle to see this

It is a nice and peaceful area in the heart of Zahle... You can find many Lebanese restaurants as well as coffee and ice cream shops... It is a pedestrian area... You can have a walk and smell fresh cool air in the summer... It is advisable to visit it in the summer because in winter it is called and all the restaurants are closed except Arabi restaurant that has an indoor place in winter... It is highly recommended when you visit Zahle...

I was invited on my first evening to Zahle by a Lebanese couple. The visit meant a head start for me in appreciating the Lebanese cuisine. The restaurant lies along a small river which forms a sort of pass between two high hills. On the terras one enjoys watching a wide variety of passers-by: from very conventional dressed Muslim to ultra modern dressed young ladies on stiletto high heels.
The latter view did not take my attentuon entirely away from the fine quality of appetizers. After a few glasses of Arak I admit forgetting the main course , but again the icecream for dessert was supper.
Parking some 10 min away. Prices quite medium and up.

Our tour stopped here for and you could tell that the staff are used to catering for masses of people! Everything was set up ready to go, and the food was delivered to the table within 5mins of us all being seated. We had a selection of mezes followed by grilled lamb and chicken as the main... no surprises there! The food was fairly decent although the mince kofta was too rare for my liking.

Located on the berdawni river sides , near the amazing sound of water, restaurants are on both sides with a beautiful old cafe that serves delicious ice cream and dessert :) the place is really fresh to have a walk in summer or in winter to visit the Christmas market
Taste the traditional drink the arak made from Anis with the famous Lebanese mezze

I went with friends twice within 10 days to Mhanna in the Berdawni. Excellent food and service, average price per person approx. 25-30 USD, very delicious fruits. Toilet and restaurant clean. Picturesque seating.
My last visit to Zahle was approx. 20 years ago. Mhanna is still the same

Bardawni means Zahle in a way or another...so if you have the chance to visit Zahle and don't eat in berdawni restaurants it's like you haven't been in Zahle believe me...many restaurants that offer lebanese traditional food...best two restaurants there are Casini Arabi and Casino Mhanna...go there you won't regret it!!!

From what I am told Berdawni is a Zahle staple and the source of many childhood memories for the locals.
For me, the food was good, the servers were nice and the sound of the river is relaxing.
Definitely worth the stop if you are in the area.

We were in a rush (our coach was late) and the staff was very efficient at getting us fed and through in good time. The food was enjoyable and I imagine it is a very popular place in the high season, with large terraces by the river.
