Lebanese Cuisine

Lebanese cuisine includes a wide variety of dishes, and many traditional dishes are vegetarian. I was lucky not to lose significant weight while in Lebanon. In contrast, I did lose 4 kilograms in 11 days in Japan.

I usually prefer vegetarian food, but sometimes to get a sense of the culture, I try meat. Seafood upsets my stomach, so I avoid it, especially when traveling solo in a foreign country.

The cost of food in Lebanon is reasonable. While street food culture is prevalent in Tripoli, other places offer reasonably priced restaurants. My recommendation on food:

Dishes:

  1. Falafel
  2. Fattoush
  3. Tabbouleh
  4. Baba ghanoush
  5. Hummus
  6. Kibbeh
  7. Shawarma
  8. Manakish

Drinks:

  1. Arak
  2. Ayran
