Eating in Tripoli (Lebanon)
Eating in Tripoli (Lebanon)
Tripoli is famous all over Lebanon for its sticky oriental sweets. Many Beiruties visit Tripoli en group on Sunday mornings to have breakfast at "Hallab". Confusingly to tourists, many sweet houses in Tripoli carry the name "Hallab" in one way or another. This is either because they are legitimate descendants of the famous nineteenth century sweets maker of the same name, or simple free riders trying to profit from the name's reputation. Two however stand out: Rafaat Hallab 1881 , and Abdel Rahman Al Hallab . A visit to either will satisfy the most demanding of sweet teeth.
In the beautiful, wide and trees-planted ElMina Road, you can find many cafes and restaurants to satisfy your hunger.
Seafood Sandwich Shop, El Mina foreshore (It has little dolphins jumping on either side of the name - that is in Arabic). Don't miss the seafood sandwiches in El Mina; there's spicy-fish, crab, crayfish, and more! Next to a corner-shop with Pepsi signage. There are a few swarma restaurants in a row by the waterfront next to the port. Try the one that is packed with people waiting - there's a reason for that. There are a few casual seafood restaurants further along. �
