I read a review about this restaurant in one of Amex-Canada magazines where the author was raving about the concept of having a guest chef on weekly basis from the various Lebanese villages, whereby each would bring his or her flavors and style. The idea of eating off non professional chefs is intriguing and genuine and I made it my... More

We had seen Tawlet on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations and decided to try this place out. It was amazing and was by far the best dining experience that we have enjoyed. The food was straight-forward, but innovative, incredibly well put together and tasted amazing. There was such variety in the dishes at the buffet, and while we had had versions... More

Being a buffet style you can eat as much or as little as you want. Leave room for dessert. Had a great strawberry sponge cake. Will definitely... More

Great food, great people, and reasonable pricing! It is also really nice that Tawlet is also composting and conscious of their impact on the environment. This is rare in Lebanon

Tawlet is a lovely restaurant set in the Ashrafieh neighborhood, which is leafy and relaxed, resembling a coastal European city. The restaurant is airy and bright. There is a buffet on offer at lunch, with a total of eight to ten dishes, most vegetarian. The food is fresh and delicious. There are various desserts on offer as well as fruit.... More

It is not the cheapest choice but the food is really nice and homemade. Perfect for lunch as well. It is an open buffet with a fixed price which includes dessert as well and you can eat as much as you like.
