4.7 / 5.0(1,027 reviews)
Bebabel is a refreshing take on Lebanese cuisine, a place where tradition meets modern flair in the most tasteful way. Located in the heart of Beirut, this restaurant redefines what it means to enjoy Lebanese food “with a twist.” Every dish feels familiar yet reinvented, with flavors that stay true to their roots while surprising you in the best possible way. From the moment you step in, the atmosphere feels both elegant and relaxed, a perfect blend of Beirut’s contemporary energy and warm hospitality. The service, however, is what truly sets Bebabel apart. The team goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, attentive without ever being intrusive, adding a personal touch that elevates the whole experience. Whether it’s the perfectly balanced mezze, the modernized kibbeh, or their signature fusion dishes, every bite at Bebabel feels crafted with care. Pair that with their stunning presentation and inviting ambiance, and you’ve got one of the city’s most enjoyable dining experiences. Verdict: A must-visit in Beirut. Bebabel offers the best of Lebanese cuisine with a modern twist and service that’s simply exceptional. Highly recommended. Bebabel never disappoints with the taste and quality of the food. The staff were very welcoming. Abdulla who served us was very attentive and always had a smile on his face. Elie the manager is very friendly and made sure everything was as per the standards of Bebabel. The food is as usual delicious and every ingredient is on point. The outdoor seating area has a very nice vibe especially when the weather is nice and breezy. Always our first choice in Beirut. The food was decent overall. The hummus was well-prepared and definitely worth trying. The meat was tasty, but the potatoes were just average. The portion sizes are small, and the restaurant is a bit pricey. The main drawback for us was the lady at the reception; she did not seem in a good mood to greet guests.
