ElSoussi Restaurant

This place is a must visit when in Beirut. Great place for authentic Lebanese plates. I’ve been a couple of times for breakfast and I was impressed, highly recommended.

Elsoussi is a must-visit spot in Beirut, particularly if you're seeking an authentic Lebanese breakfast experience. While it may not boast fancy embellishments in terms of service or location, the focus here is solely on delivering the best traditional Lebanese breakfast. I highly recommend trying the fattie!

Don’t go and expect a fine dining experience. Small old almost ancient shop. The same old man still makes the food himself. He is full of positivity and very welcoming. The fatteh is absolutely amazing! We ordered fatteh, beid bi awarma, hummus, fried asbeh (liver) and foul. Everything was phenomenal except for the foul, it was average.

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.

I think that was the most delicious breakfast I’ve ever eaten in Lebanon. Hummus, scrumbled egg with meat, salad, side dishes.. Everything was truthfully perfect. If you have an opportunity to visit Beirut, you have to eat here.

Great place for Lebanese traditional food. Fair price. Friendly staff. Must visit. Sharing plates. Quick service. You'll fill having breakfast with the neighborhood.

This world famous restaurant is a MUST VISIT place when you’re in Beirut. It is amazing that after all these years of running and with all the attention this place has received, it is still being run by the same person at his age using a single burner. The food served is quite spectacular and the guys running the place are super nice and friendly. Make sure you head early in the morning as all the tables will be full by around 9 AM.

El Soussi is an old and a traditional Lebanese breakfast place since the 1900. Back in 2013, it was selected as one of the The World's Best Breakfast by CNN. El Soussi is located in a narrow street in Beirut so finding a parking spot is a bit hard. The place has an indoor seating area as well as few tables on the sidewalk. As for the hygiene and cleanliness, there is always room for improvement. The menu is limited and consists of the usual foul, hummus, Fatte, eggs and Msabha as well as Fweregh and Nkhaat. We have tried: - Foul - Fatte - Msabha - Eggs with Awarma - Sawda The breakfast was served with bread, olives, pickles and a selection of vegetables on the side. The foul is tasty. The Fatte is superb. The chickpeas are soft with just the right amount of yogurt topped with fried bread and nuts. The Msabha is balanced and really good. The eggs with Awarma is tasty and well seasoned. The sawda is the highlight of our breakfast. Its very tender and is highly recommended Few items aren’t always available as they go out of stock immediately. As for the prices, they are pocket friendly however the portion is small so we had to double the order. The service is good and quick with friendly and down to earth staff.
