a week agoOne of my favourite places to eat in Beirut. The quality of the food is fresh and flavoursome. The service is wonderful. Try the watermelon salad it’s so fresh and great for summer. Chicken was cooked perfectly and the rib eye steak just melted in my mouth.

2 weeks agoThis food is the best food I've eaten while in Lebanon. All the dishes have their own unique taste. Only restaurant that really deserves a five star

5 months agoBaron has a great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a fancy feel—definitely a nice spot for a date. However, the food was too expensive for what it was, and some dishes were disappointing. The Soujouk Dates were delicious and a must-try, as was the Calamari, one of the best I’ve had. The Ribeye was amazing but the fries with it felt raw. The Feta dish was exceptional. On the other hand, the Cauliflower needed more roasting; the end stem was raw, and the flavor was nothing special—just like having cauliflower with tahini at home. Overall, while some dishes stood out, the portions and taste didn’t justify the high prices.

a week agoThat ribeye was one of the best I’ve ever had. Even the shank, which I usually enjoy, couldn’t come close to how delicious the ribeye was. The only downside is that the prices are on the expensive side

6 months agoOverpriced for the size and the taste. The ambience is very nice, very suitable for a date or a fancy gathering. However, the food was disappointing, we came to taste Michelin quality food, some dishes were but others were definitely not. The cauliflower was tasteless and needed more roasting ( the end stem was basically raw and the sauce needed a bit more flavor to balance the dish), the ribeye steak was soo fatty ( I know it is expected but it proportion of meat to fat was very very low it was basically eating fat and butter with barely any meat). The date dish was really good ( no wonder it’s their recommended one) and the calamari dish was exceptional as well and definitely the feta dish was soo good. I would come back just to try the other dishes and give it an absolute fair opinion but I tried to try their most famous ones.
