One of the worst seafood experiences I’ve had in Lebanon. I went to Le Pêcheur after seeing a food blogger recommend it—honestly, what a disappointment.
We ordered:
Half a kilo of shrimps (dry and overcooked)
10 pieces of mussels (super oily)
A small seafood plate
A soup (the only decent thing)
Two sparkling waters
The total bill? $210. Yes, you read that right—210 dollars. Like we were dining under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, not on the coast of Lebanon.

While the shisha was good, and the service, cleanliness, and view were excellent, I came for great seafood and didn’t get what I paid for. the quality of the food was simply...
Read moreI had a great experience at this seafood restaurant. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, which made us feel comfortable right away. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, with a nice variety of seafood options. The location by the seaside is beautiful and adds a special touch to the overall experience.
The place could use a little bit of decoration or updating, but it’s nothing that takes away from the enjoyment of the meal. One lovely surprise was the complimentary dessert and fresh fruits at the end – such a thoughtful gesture!
Overall, it’s definitely a place...
