This Beirut import serves granny-style rural Lebanese cafe cuisine adapted for the 21st century: light, healthy and fresh. The homey decor more than dabbles in the vintage department with its patterned wallpaper, crisp tablecloths and floral crockery. It's also a nice spot for breakfast and shisha.
