As my time in Lebanon continued, I set out on an amazing food tour of its capital. Join me as I go on an unforgettable Beirut street food tour in this beautiful coastal Lebanon city!
My guide Nicolas and I started off at Restaurant Joseph, which is known for having the best chicken shawarma in Lebanon and the world! They won the award for best sandwich in the world in 2015!

Inside, I watched them build a plate of chicken shawarma, lettuce, pickles, and fries. There, I met Joseph and saw their chicken, meat, and shrimp skewers, as well as their buffet and sandwich toppings.
The chicken shawarma sandwich contained lots of juicy chicken and the amazing garlic sauce. The bread had a nice crunch, as did the pickles inside. It was like a chicken salad with herbs inside bread!
The beef shawarma sandwich contained parsley and tarator sauce. It was so tasty! They’re both amazing and less than $3 each. The tomatoes inside also blew my mind!
From there, we hopped in the car and drove through the rain to Falafel Freiha, which is the #1 falafel shop in Lebanon on Trip Advisor. They’re famous for their falafels.
Falafels are chickpea & fava bean fritters mixed with bulgur. They’re usually eaten in a pita with lettuce, tomatoes, and sauce.
