A 10-minute and sometimes much longer drive outside of Beirut, La Creperie is discovered within a n 18th Century villas with some of the best waterfront views in Lebanon. What feels like Ravello or Cap Ferrat, La Creperie was built from a family home in the 1960s and into a summertime dining institution that slowly fell to neglect and abandonment over the late 1990s. Now, Sky Management has revamped the space into a posh playground of fine dining once more with dramatic coastal interiors by Beirut-based designer Maggy Monsef. Outside, a manicured garden of expanded gardens, white roses and lavender surround a 1,000-year-old olive tree perfect for late-night alfresco dining.
The Food
A thoroughly French dining room offers a modern coastal menu for lunch and dinner. Appetizers of grilled asparagus, Bresaola with parmesan and homemade burrata compliment actual crepes available in a selection of savory and sweet chocolate options. Main course delivers veal scaloppini, steak frites and roast chicken with compliments of fresh pasta and variety of sides.
Last Word
Elegant mountaintop eatery serves-up French brasserie cuisine in a historic setting.
