The sushi menu at O&C includes a Lebanese sushi that is made of Philadelphia cheese, avocado, crab, cucumber, and mango, all wrapped in Lebanese bread!
Does this qualify as sushi? It’s more like a sandwich cut into small chunks.

Breakfast at Bonheur du Pain Verdun
Bonheur du pain is located in Verdun’s main street right next to Leila. Their breakfast menu is basically very close to what Paul offers but at a less price.
The cheese omelet I had was very good, but if there’s one thing I could improve it would have been their croissant, which are really not bad, but you usually expect pastries to taste no less than excellent at places like Bonheur du Pain.
My overall experience there was good even though their staff were acting clumsy… which is probably because my visit was shortly after their opening…
Breakfast at Bread Republic Hamra
It was good, but it definitely doesn’t beat Paul.
Ramadan in Tripoli
Tripoli is one of the cities that I personally can never get bored of. I was there last Sunday and about to come back to Beirut at around 3:00PM when I decided to waste some additional time at any random souk since there was still plenty of time till Iftar.
And so I went to Al Tall souk (the same one I previously visited) to see how does it look like now in Ramadan. Needless to say, I was encountering sweets and juice vendors everywhere in the small souk, in addition to huge stocks of vegetables in the small stores since everyone gets crazy about buying them in Ramadan, and of course the place was much crowded than last time.
The guy in the left image is selling Kharroub, a sour juice that I disliked a LOT! While on the right image the guy is selling Moghrabiyyeh platters for 3,000 L.L only!
My next stop was at Abdel Sattar Al Tom sweets in Al Zahriyyeh.
Maamoul bi ashta, Kneifeh bi ashta, and Mafroukeh! *Yummy*
Across the street from Al Tom, there’s anther shop that sells almost all kind of kaak and bread. My favorite is the kaak that can be grilled with cheese stuffed inside (it’s called Alleeta there) which can be the best souhour in Ramadan!
I might be going to Tripoli again next week and probably the week after, what other places do you recommend that I go visit?
