I walked through the area on the way to Beirut Souk. I had my bag searched up entering but the ubiquitous security and armed forces that cover the city. The streets and nice enough and there is plenty of food options available to you. With the lack of through traffic the area lacks any real life to it so it is not somewhere I'd want to spend a long evening meal. The buildings are pleasant donut is worth walking through if your in the area.

A lot of Restaurant, seating available on both sides, outside and inside seating area.
Very nice & safe area for families & groups. The staff speaks many languages and are very friendly.
Food serve great Lebanese tradition food, like Fattouch, Tabouleh and Kebe & many more.
Main courses are great in taste.
When you visit Beirut , you must visit this palce.

Restaurant with seating available both outside and inside. The square is in a very safe area popular with families. The staff speak reasonable English and serve great Fattouch, Tabouleh and Kebe as starters. Main courses are more international in taste.

This is what Beirut should be. A community mosque, humble, elegant and integrated with its surrounding ... Jno imperial ambitions tied to it
