Essential restaurant from all I have visited in Beirut. Extraordinary in many ways, it’s the one that would jump to my mind when recommending something in this city.

Not for the faint hearted

Em Sherif is a wonderfully overwhelming dining experience. With 33 courses, this meal requires stamina, humour and a large dose of hunger. While we enjoyed nearly every single one of the dishes and certainly all of the desserts, by about the tenth dish in, we were stuffed and tried to convince the friendly and very amused waiters to bring less, to no avail. Well worth it for a full blown Lebanese dining experience but be prepared to eat...A LOT.
