Emsherif a restaurant about fancy and yummy eating.the decoration is very special,the staff is very polite and always waiting for you to ask for something.It has a special fixed menu where everyone gets the same food.a lot of varieties .you can't eat everything but very very yummy and fresh.it serves Lebanese food but with a little twist.if you want to go there for dinner then eat a very light lunch in order to enjoy everything.

The restaurant itself is lovely, it has great atmosphere and is decorated to make it feel homely and also cosy. There is nothing worse than a blank canvas in a restaurant, especially when the food is so colourful.
Onto the food. Go Hungry, there is lots, I think we had some 42 different dishes. First round is like the vegetarian course, then comes a meat course and then a desert course, bare in mind that the first two courses consist of about 16/16 different each! Small amounts from each dish is suggested, otherwise you just won't get round to tasting them all. In the main I really enjoyed the vast majority of dishes the ones I wasn't keen on only contained ingredients I didn't like, so nothing down to the actual dish itself, for example, I really don't like olives, so dishes with olives in wasn't for me.
They do tell you what each dish is, but they said things so quickly that we couldn't quite understand, but we are English, so I didn't expect to understand all of them. The only thing I would say, is that it might have been nice if they could have taken their time to explain it to us, we did after all look very English. Service was very good in the main. Took a long time to get the bill, but they were packed.
Be warned, if you don't like smokers at meal time, this is not the place for you, as all the locals not only seem to smoke, but are also into having shisha at meal times. It was a little overwhelming if I'm honest, as neither of us smoke.
All in all it is very much worth a visit and you must book. For true authentic food, this is the place to go.

Em Sherif is bar-none, the best Middle Eastern restaurant in Beirut. In addition to the exceptional cuisine, the surroundings are truly beautiful and the service is simply flawless. It is important to have an appetite as the "waves" of delicious plates seemingly keep showing up at the table, ending with some of the best desserts I've ever come across... If you have a special occasion, go to Em Sherif, as you won't regret the decision. This is bar-none, the best in town...
