Visited in February 2026. Lebanon 🇱🇧, Beirut. The restaurant is located in an incredibly beautiful historic building filled with antique details and refined décor. The interior is stunning — it’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design. High ceilings, elegant furniture, and large mirrors create a sense of space and grandeur, making the atmosphere feel truly luxurious. FOOD: This restaurant specializes in traditional Lebanese cuisine, focusing on mezze and grilled dishes. We ordered hummus, the traditional salad fattoush, and a mixed grill for two. The salad was made with fresh, high-quality vegetables — cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes. However, the dressing was extremely acidic. The level of acidity was so strong that it literally stung the tongue, making the salad difficult to eat. Perhaps this reflects the authentic local style, but for our taste it was overwhelming. The staff kindly remade the salad, removing the acidic dressing and leaving only olive oil — and it became very enjoyable. The hummus was excellent. The balance of chickpeas, spices, and acidity was just right. Lebanese hummus is one of my favorites because of this balance, and here it was prepared very well. The true highlight of the meal, however, was the mixed grill. The chicken and lamb skewers were incredibly tender and juicy, practically melting in the mouth. They were perfectly seasoned with salt and spices. It may have been one of the best grilled kebabs we’ve had recently. The kafta kebab was also outstanding — soft, juicy, and made from high-quality minced meat without any tough bits. Grilled meats are clearly the strongest side of this restaurant. SERVICE: Service was friendly and efficient. The staff helped us choose dishes and kindly adjusted the salad to better suit our taste. VERDICT: An excellent restaurant, especially suitable for a special occasion. The interior is breathtaking and makes you feel surrounded by luxury. Combined with delicious food and attentive service, it creates a memorable dining experience. Prices are slightly above average, but for a place of this level they feel justified.

If you're looking to experience flavors unique to Lebanon, this place is definitely for you. Everything is delicious, the dishes prepared with care by master chefs are quite successful, and you'll be very impressed by the ambiance of the place. I definitely recommend it.

A beautiful restaurant with stunning architecture. We visited during the day and the restaurant was empty, it might have a livelier and nicer atmosphere in the evenings. Overall the food was tasty, but unfortunately, the prices felt quite high for the value and quantity offered.

We jumped right into the lively place without reservation and were welcomed! The place has a cool vibe, that's for sure, very well set up outdoors, cozy and quiet Food tastes fantastic, but portions are not generous! For me, it was a proper bite, or could've been better Kebabs were a bit overdone. We've been served bread once, and it was a tiny piece of bread The cotton candy desert was a little bit of a disappointment; overall, it was bland. I've tasted this dish in a way better taste and shape

Went there in the weekend, very attractive place and well decorated, we sit in the garden, very relaxing atmosphere with the low lights, welcoming staff and helpful waiters, we ordered many items from their menu,the service was fast and the food was very delicious and fresh with affordable prices, recommended.

One os the prettiest restaurants in Beirut. It's a villa with several nice spaces differently arranged. Portions are not that big, but food is fresh and tasty. Atmosphere is incredible, staff very professional. There is a huge garden and an elevator takes you one floor up to the restaurant while the art gallery is on the ground floor.

I tasted arak for the first time at Liza’s ;) Here I found myself seated in the intimate courtyard of a historic homestead, jasmine flowering in front of me, a fountain splashing behind me and then this thrilling taste of subdued sweetness of an anise drink on a balmy spring day (1st May). Waiters in ‘Beyrouth je t’aime ’ tee shirts were graced with trays and platters bearing an array of dishes starting with a beautiful artichoke salad tossed with garden-fresh peas,coriander,spring onion :) and ending with a joyful rice and caramel pudding. In between many shared dishes with my friends,Lebanese-style hospitality,there was time to peek inside the alluring Liza mansion and buy one of those ‘je t’aime’ tee shirts to express my reaction to Beirut- a city that took me by surprise. Aside from communicating reviews,the effortless artistry and elegance at Liza’s and astounding authenticity of Lebanon at large,left me speechless.
