Em Sherif Beirut

Em Sherif sits in Beirut, a fifteen-minute walk from the Beirut Souks. The restaurant serves traditional Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine, and the room runs smart and elegant. It holds a ranking of no. 7 on The World's 50 Best MENA.

This venue offers a more formal experience than the typical mezze spots scattered throughout the city. While the local scene often favors quick, casual service, Em Sherif commits to a slower, structured pace that rewards those looking to settle in for an entire evening. You choose this place when the standard quick-fire dinner feels insufficient and you want a deliberate, full-service approach to regional staples. It captures a specific, traditional style that has become increasingly rare in the contemporary Beirut landscape.
