Last week I had the distinct pleasure of meeting one of Beirut's Finest Ladies. The famous Em Sherif. Soooo sweet.

I arrived early and was introduced. She offered us champagne and food and Arguilleh and all were perfect.

I have eaten at this restaurant and I am sure to return again and again.

The decor. Beautiful
The atmosphere. Great.
The food.....The very best. try it for yourself.

The biggest variety of Mezza plates I have seen in Lebanon. You are literally Flooded.

It is a set menu and boy is it a mouthful. It is sooo hard to pace yourself through the courses to get the main meal but is well worth it if you can.

The meat and Chicken are scrumptious. And the desserts are outstanding. I recommend the Em Ali highly.

Upstairs has no live entertainment although you can hear the band downstairs through the sound system.

The staff are professional and clean cut.

Also may I mention the kitchen and bathrooms are both squeaky clean......I checked

The wedding was a complete success and I couldn't think of a more perfect location for a 50 person winter wedding.

Thanks Em Sherif and Mr. N.

Amazing food and it just keeps on coming... you have to really pace yourself to leave room for the 30+ dishes that will delight you one after the other. Just come with a really empty stomach!!

If you are visiting Lebanon for the first time, and looking for the best Lebanese food that you could get, well search no more. Em Sherif is certainly the place to visit. You just book your table, sit, and enjoy the food. There is nothing to order, simply a flow of dishes being served on your table one after the other. That could take well over an hour, but believe me...the experience is very well worth it.

Luxury , gastronomy, and live oriental music all at one lovely place. The rich set menu leaves you happily full and the ambience is wonderful as well. Highly recommended to visit in Lebanon. Needs prior reservation. A bit expensive but is worth it.

My friend and I tried to make a reservation for Christmas Day. It was a few days before, so we knew it might not be possible, but we emailed in hopes of getting a table. They told us we couldn't make a reservation via email - I quote: "Yes we are open on Christmas, We apologize but we no longer take bookings via email.". We were in East Africa at the time in rural areas without solid phone service, so asked for an exception to no avail. Therefore, my friend went to great lengths - including a pricey phone call and a trip to a local town with better service - to figure out a way to call, only to be told they were fully booked and had been for months. Ridiculous they didn't say this in the email correspondence, as we could have avoided the cost and time to figure out how call them. Also, in our original email correspondence as well as over the phone they didn't offer a cancellation list or anything of that sort, though in an email a couple days afterwards (after my friend wrote them with our dissatisfaction) they said they had a waiting list. All around awful customer service on their part.
