• 9:00 AM — Pickup from hotel in Beirut Your personal food guide meets you at your accommodation, starting the tour in Hamra, where Beirut begins its day in a unique fashion. • Manoushe & fresh juice — Hamra The first stop is a well-known bakery in Hamra, a neighborhood staple that has been serving saj since before dawn. Enjoy your manoushe straight from the griddle, featuring za'atar, cheese, or a mix of both—an unforgettable Lebanese breakfast. This is paired with a freshly pressed juice—pomegranate, avocado, or a custom blend—showcasing Beirut's authentic flavors before the city fully awakens. • Hummus, falafel & Lebanese sweets — Downtown Visit a celebrated hummus establishment in Downtown Beirut, where the chickpeas are soaked overnight, tahini is ground fresh, and olive oil is served generously on warm plates. This level of Lebanese hummus is extraordinary, unlike any store-bought version. Accompanying it are freshly fried falafel—crispy on the outside and herbaceous on the inside—and an array of traditional Lebanese sweets: rose water syrup-soaked baklava, mamoul dusted with icing sugar, and halawet el jibn, a warm cheese pastry rolled in cream. • Shawarma & street bites — Mar Mikhael Explore Mar Mikhael, Beirut's most vibrant neighborhood, known for its creative energy and historic street food traditions. Your guide brings you to a highly regarded shawarma spot frequented by locals, where spiced chicken or meat is thinly sliced from a rotating spit and wrapped in fresh bread with toum, pickles, and tomatoes. On this private tour, your guide can introduce additional street foods based on the day's offerings, a chance for unique neighborhood discoveries that a larger group may miss. • Knefeh & Armenian specialties — Bourj Hammoud The highlight of the tour takes place in Bourj Hammoud, Beirut's lively Armenian quarter, known for its rich culinary offerings. The focus is on knefeh, Lebanon's famed dessert—warm shredded wheat with soft white cheese, drenched in rose water syrup and topped with crushed pistachios, served fresh from the tray. Additionally, enjoy an exclusive assortment of Armenian dishes—sujuk sausage, mante dumplings, Armenian pastries, and homemade preserves from local delis—showcasing what group tours often lack due to time constraints. • Sit-down lunch — the full Lebanese table The tour concludes with a leisurely sit-down meal at a restaurant selected by your guide. This meal features a lavish spread of Lebanese mezze, reflecting everything sampled throughout the morning in a single, generous meal. Enjoy cold mezze—tabbouleh, fattoush, moutabal, labneh, and vine leaves—followed by warm dishes, grilled meats, and fresh bread, complemented by Lebanese arak or soft drinks. This is an opportunity to savor the Lebanese table at its best, designed for enjoyment and conversation. All costs are included, with no additional payments required. • Return to hotel — approx. 1:00 PM You will be dropped off at your hotel in Beirut approximately four hours later, having visited five neighborhoods and indulged in more food than anticipated—a personal and flavorful way to engage with the true essence of Beirut.
