We walked in for lunch. Bright. A lot of decor. Maybe the evening atmosphere is more coherent.

As our drinks were ordered, carefully prepared small plates started to arrive to the table. Oh, I thought, the chef's amuse bouche. But no it kept on coming. We were five. And all of a sudden a deluge of deliciously prepared dishes flooded our mirrored top table. We have not seen the menu nor ordered anything. "It is the set menu, sir" after I inquired.

All very delicious, generous, appetizing, well presented and efficiently served.

The variety of the desserts, exquisite. What an amazing experience on all levels.

Yes you need to go there very hungry. And do not miss it.

The prices extremely reasonable for lunch (don't know dinner prices).

Em Sherif, first on the list on our next visit to Beirut.

This is one of a very trendy, classy, Lebanese restaurant in Beirut in Sodeco (Achrafieh) area. It is an old house that turned out to be a restaurant. It is not big, accordingly you need to book a head of time (minimum before a week) in order to find a table there.

They don't have a menu, as you pay around $60 that includes every item in the restaurant. They will start with salads and cold appetizers, then hot appetizers and starters, them main courses, then sweets. Any drinks will be added to the check.

Service, table wares, accessories, and decoration are marvelous.

The food is very delicious as you must ensure you didn't eat anything that day to be able to taste every dish they serve.

I recommend this restaurant to any one who's visiting Beirut and definitely I will return back.

Em Sharif is a place to dine in, when you want a piece of a very special homemade Lebanese food. The Meza platers are great and the plate of the day will Surprise you. As for the Dessert try Em Ali, You won't regret it...
