Enjoy a glimpse into the 1950s golden age of Beirut at the newly-opened Café Beirut

Café Beirut, also known as Kahwet Beirut, is a homegrown brand that has recently opened doors in Al Murooj Complex Downtown.

A gorgeous outdoor garden area offers impressive views of the Burj Khalifa; while an indoor space is enhanced with the addition of a traditional ceramic water fountain and an olive tree, reminiscent of the 1950s golden age of Beirut. Black and white portraits of the era hang on the see-through domed ceiling, which allows bright sunlight to flow into the main room.
