Beiruti Grand Café

WONDERFUL FIND!!! Atmosphere, presentation, selection, service, and taste was AMAZING!!!
I had the Mediterranean pulled chicken pita with Broccoli salad with 70% Dark chocolate gelato for dessert. Had to box the salad because I couldn’t finish it there but enjoyed it immensely later.
My husband had the Classic steak sandwich with vegetable soup and the Salted caramel gelato.
Fantastic!!! Every… single…bite!!!

Came in for a late lunch.
Ordered:
— 6 pastries @$ 6 each.
— Ashta crêpe $ 9.
–Sharazad cocktail (gélato) $ 10.
— large coffee $ 2.50
— gourmet pita $ 10.
The ambiance made the food worth it.
All their sandwiches/​pizza look «gourmet» and not ordinarily seen in coffee shop like Starbucks, Ikea cafétéria or Panera Bread.
Priced from $ 8 — $ 14.
The washrooms are very WHITE clean and similar to public washrooms that can be found in hotels (Le Château Frontenac without the key entry/​Skydome Hotel… etc).
It is a better place to have a cup of coffee and dessert… over Starbucks ANYTIME!

Great food, atmosphere and service.
Had the lamb sandwich with the soup of the day, lentil and pasta soup. Deeeelicious flavours! The lamb was tasty with very fresh vegetables and a spicy sauce on the side for dipping-​a nice touch. The soup was excellent, first time having soup with mint in it and it was a really good surprise. The service was excellent; very friendly and handed out samples of crepes and other items. Atmosphere is modern and clean. An upscale cafeteria format. Lots of food options and some really beautiful desserts! Tried the pistachio cherry cake, nice and light, and the chocolate almond raspberry tart, chocolatey and rich. Neither were too sweet. Looking forward to returning and trying the flat bread and gelato!

I love Beiruti Grand Café. The neighbourhood was in dire need of a good gathering place. You can meet your friends for coffee and deserts or have a bite to eat. Everything is delicious and beautifully presented. I haven’t had a bad meal or desert yet. It’s become my «go to» stop for lunch for a delicious and healthy meal — and I never leave there feeling guilty about what I ate — it’s all good for you and prepared with quality ingredients. I used to grab my lunch at Pusateri’s in Bayview Village and now I drive the extra 5 mins and get a much better quality lunch!
It’s open for dinner too so I find myself picking up dinner a couple of times a week when I am looking for something light and healthy and I will often meet up with friends for coffee and deserts on weekends or evenings.
My favourites; the double smoked trout salad, the lamb sandwich, the steak sandwich, the Beiruti chicken… pretty much everything I have tried has been delicious — you can’t go wrong! And the coffee is amazing! Favourite breakfast item: egg white omelet and multigrain croissant, although the manaeesh (thyme flat bread) is really good too.
For anyone who eats lunch out, the prices are in line with (if not better than) what you would find at other café’s or stores (like Pusaterie’s or McEwan’s) and I find the salads and sandwiches much, much better at Beiruti.
Can’t wait for more menu items to be added.
If you encounter any growing pains, just ask to speak to the owner — they are very supportive and welcome feedback.

Today was my first time visiting Beiruti and I’ve wanted to go since it opened! Let me start by saying the ambiance is amazing. I love a place with beautiful fixtures, it adds a lot to the experience and I am passionate about interior design so it makes a difference to me personally. Food wise; Their trout salad was good. I found their selection of food limited as mentioned by others, but hopefully they will expand as they grow as a business. This place has a lot of potential in my eyes. In terms of dessert, their gelato flavours are interesting: I like the mix of Middle Eastern influence with traditional gelato flavours. For example, their rose water pomegranate flavour (which complemented nicely with mango by the way.) Or their ashta flavour! Their macaroons are also great. Good consistency and good flavours. I tried the Coconut Mango (my fave!), Cherry Vanilla, and Lemon Raspberry. Though a bit pricey (If you went often it would run your bank account pretty dry), I loved the fusion of «French-​Lebanese» with «Modernized Café».

Pro:
–Ambiance is amazing! Brand new, place is very trendy but yet cozy. Cool light fixtures, raw wood tables, mis matched chairs, very inviting.
–I had the Croque Monsieur which was yummy and it comes with a side salad. The sandwiches seem to be pre-​assembled then pressed/​heated
–Gelato is quite delicious. I was lucky to have the opportunity to try about 6 flavors and they were all tempting… even the sorbet! Try the mango sorbet. But I had the 70% chocolate and I dont even like dark chocolate, but it was a good choice. Also, it is made on premises +++
–the staff! Very warm and friendly. Huge shout out to Mia! She helped me book our reservation and was helpful right until we left.
Con:
–nothing to complain about… I think perhaps the selection of food could be greater, however, since it is a new establishment, I foresee them expanding their menu.
Will definately be back

Terrible customer service. They made us wait and served other people first.
Prices are expensive for the location.
Great venue.

My coworkers and I were delighted to try Beiruti since there aren’t a lot of good restaurants around our workplace. I’ve been to Beiruti a few times and overall, I really like it. You have to line up to order, pay and you’re given a number to place on your table and the food is brought to your table. There’s a fair selection of wraps, sandwiches and salads. I’ve had the mushroom sandwich and it was delicious, the steak sandwich was ok and the trout salad was pretty good. The sandwiches come with your choice of a small side salad or soup. The desserts are DELICIOUS and if you get it for take out it comes in a pretty cute container. However, I would like to see more mediterranean desserts and food other than manaeesh (the manaeesh is pretty good though!) The venue is nice, clean and spacious, and has a lot of free parking. The staff are friendly and welcoming. However, I do find it overpriced.
