Best Restaurants in Tahiti

Of all countries which boast a ''Mediterranean diet'', Lebanon is one of the luckiest when it comes to the richness and variety of its fresh produce. Top-quality Lebanese restaurants are spread throughout Beirut - pick one where the produce is on display, as the freshness of the food is largely the point. The traditional Lebanese meal known as ''Mezze'' consists of up to thirty hot and cold dishes, including salads such as tabbouleh and fattouche, dips like hummus and moutabal, bite-sized lamb pies known as sambouseks, stuffed vine leaves, and the ubiquitous pita bread. You should definitely also try mankoushe (Lebanese pizza), ka''ek (massive, thyme-flavoured bagels), and the huge variety of Lebanese sweets that get turned out whenever there''s a religious or national event going on. For those who prefer international cuisine, don''t worry, Beirut is famously cosmopolitan, and has a huge array of high-end international dining options (most of them located in the Ashrafieh district, just east of Beirut''s CBD). International fast food outlets also abound in Beirut, for those times when you need to grab something in a hurry.
