Em Sherif café is great place food, either snacks or lunch and dinner, great shisha. Located very close to Four Seasons hotel, nearby the best Shopping areas in Beirut on the same street as Seray Beirut. This is one of the safest and most upscale areas of Beirut, very clean and safe.
We tried different food but their Hommos with meat, raw spicy kebbeh and Fattouch for light lunch.
In Beirut the food is so good that sometimes you need to rest with good shisha.
Their shisha and shisha service is top (they replace your coals every 10 minutes).
Their 10$ mint lemonade is expensive but Mamma mia - it is one of the best ever I've tried
