I had the pleasure of dining at El Soussi restaurant recently. The restaurant has been serving traditional Lebanese breakfast for many years, and it is clear that they know what they are doing. The service was also excellent, with friendly and attentive staff who were happy to make recommendations. I enjoyed a variety of dishes, including eggs and awrama, sawda (liver), and fettah. The eggs and awrama were hearty and flavorful, with the eggs cooked perfectly. The sawda (liver) was a traditional Lebanese dish that was grilled and served with onions, tomatoes, and spices. It was also hearty and flavorful. The fettah was a light and refreshing dish of hommos, yogurt and toasted bread. The yogurt added a nice tanginess to the dish. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at El Soussi restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Lebanese breakfast.

This is another famous restaurant in Beirut which has been recommended by CNN and also visited by many celebrities. It is a no frills dining place you don't expect this place to be high end with a proper menu. Recommended to go with someone local who can help you to order the special dishes to try. Got the honour of seeing the old owner himself preparing and cooking my dishes. He is a quiet man of few words yet can see how nimble his hands are and how fast he can whip up dishes. Be in surprise for what you eat cause there might be some 'fear factor' for people who are not used to eating slightly exotic stuff. It was definitely an experience for me eating sheep's brains which I loved it a lot, and also the liver. I don't really eat a lot of liver elsewhere but here it is so well cooked and the sauce packs so much flavour to the meat. If you want to go with the safer options try the hummus, fatteh, eggs with meat or salads. Highly recommended and best to visit on weekdays morning.

One of the most fascinating hidden gems of Beirut, it holds the spirit of old Beirut, everything about the place is old and authentic, including the taste and recipes. It all started in 1890 as a small shack right behind the municipality of Beirut on Wegand street, later it in the 1930s the placed moved to a bigger place, then after the end of the war it moved to it’s current location. The place has won severan awards and has been recognized by world famous food shows and contests. Raji Kibbeh who is the grandson of the late Hajj Mahmoud Soussi who established the place still prepares food at the restaurant now. The man is super swift, fast, and very chatty! Food at Soussi is great, mainly the “Fatteh” along other dishes as well. But make sure you go there early as the place closes at around 2, and on 4 at rare occasions. The place is relatively cheap, around 3 to 4$ max / plate.

FOOD: eggs with awerma was amazing, while fatet with pine seeds was pretty good. Service was fast. Didn’t wait long for food or beverages. PORTION SIZE: very small dish for the egg and awerma, but the fatet with pine seeds was generous. SERVICE: a friendly older man is the chef but also takes orders and talks to customers (he seems to know most of them personally). He is charming and kind and told us about how he makes the food (awerma meat takes 8 hours alone). PRICE: it was 20,000 LBP for the eggs and awerma, fatet with pine seeds, and two black teas. A bit pricey, but well worth it for the eggs and awerma, and authentic Lebanese experience.

Always epic. There's a reason this place was listed first by CNN in top ten breakfasts in the world. Tucked away and not easy to find just adds to the mystique and charm of the place. Eggs and Awarma are a must and I usually don't like this dish anywhere else. Fattet bi Laban is terrific. Exotic foods like sheep testicles are supreme here if you're into that stuff. Absolutely love this place. During the Islamic month of Ramadan they open overnight for suhoor. Perfect for after a night out or before a tough day... It's perfect anytime really.

I always wanted to try the breakfast at El Soussi since watching Food Bloggers especially Dr Anthony (NoGarlicNoOnion). The welcoming of Mr Raji and the staff is the most beautiful thing in this restaurant. Although the restaurant is always full, and Mr Raji is always under pressure, but his smile is always on his face. We ordered the full menu, the order was served quickly. If you want to try an authentic beiruti breakfast, you must try El Soussi. I recommend having Eggs with Kawarma
