After arriving back in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, I set out to explore the western part of the city. Come with me as I try some insane Lebanon street food in western Beirut, Lebanon!
My friend and guide Nico and I started at Ichkhanian Bakery, one of the oldest bakeries in the country!

At Ichkhanian Bakery, they make lots of amazing dishes, including lahmadjun, subberek, and manti. Lahmadjun is a baked flatbread topped with minced lamb, vegetables, spices, and other ingredients.
The lahmadjun is super crispy. It’s so savory and the lemon juice adds a zestiness! The Syrian style adds pomegranate molasses. It’s sweeter and juicier!
Then, I watched them roll out some dough to make manti. The Syrian-style one was so good, I took one to go.
As we walked through the neighborhood, we saw some old, abandoned palaces, including ones that had been hit with gunfire. We arrived at The Mansion, an old mansion where artists can work for free and exchange ideas.
It’s a 19th-century mansion with high ceilings and free WiFi. It’s a great place for Lebanese artists to get work done. There are more derelict 18th and 19th century mansions here alongside modern skyscrapers.
