My road trip through Lebanon continued in the city of Batroun, a beautiful beach town roughly one hour north of Beirut. We were going to do a mix of food and historical sites this afternoon. Come with me as we explore the Lebanese food in the city of Batroun!
We began at Hilmi’s House of Lemonade, a lemonade museum and spot where you can try fresh lemonade. It’s the world’s most iconic lemonade spot, and the world’s only lemonade museum! It dates back to 1888!

There are lots of displays showing the history of Hilmi’s. The three Hilmi sisters were the first to sell lemonade in Batroun. Later, Chez Hilmi founded the Hilmi brand in 1962. This museum was founded by Rana, Farah, and Nour Hilmi.
There’s also a gift shop and a room where you can try their different lemonades. They have over a dozen varieties, as well as smoothies, other fruit juices, ice cream, and more.
I went with the original. It was tart, cold, and icy. It was half-frozen. They also have Red Moon lemonade, mint lemonade, Strawberry lemonade, and more. They even have one called On Fire, which contains tequila!
It cost 30,000 LL, or about $1.50 USD. Back outside, the rain cleared up and we set out to explore the city. We could see old stone houses with medieval architecture. The stones were massive!
The houses were being renovated. There were also several restaurants and older buildings like churches. I recommend coming to Batroun in the summer, as many spots are closed in the winter.
