Lonely Planet review for Le Chef

A Beirut institution that's a must for its low prices, charismatic head waiter, and great old-world atmosphere. As the Rue Gouraud eating scene develops around it, this daytime 'workers' café' keeps faithfully dishing out huge platefuls of cheap and cheerful Arabic food, with a menu that changes daily and has unusual regional specials thrown in.

If they have it, don't miss the allegedly aphrodisiac moolookhiye (fragrant rice with chicken, lamb and mallow). Vegetarians will also find themselves well catered for, with tasty spinach pâté, soups and melt-in-the-mouth aubergine stew, served with rice.
