Lebanon’s dining scene goes far beyond traditional restaurants. Across the country, chefs and creatives are reimagining how people gather around food, through intimate supper clubs, roaming dinners and one-night-only experiences hosted in private or unexpected spaces.
CENA (+961 3 000 639) by Sary Ladki is an in-home chef’s table offering a Spanish fine-dining experience in Beirut. With seating limited between six and 12 guests, each dinner is built around a shared tasting menu that draws from Spanish gastronomy and Mediterranean traditions, shaped by Ladki’s training in Barcelona and his focus on refined, ingredient-led cooking.
In Ain Saadeh, The Social Table Supper Club (+961 81 570 869) by Jeremy Boudjok and Ghina Boudjok offers a communal dining format centered around a six-course menu inspired by Italian cuisine. Hosted at their home, the concept shifts between indoor and outdoor settings depending on the season, with guests able to join shared tables or book the space privately.
Zur Krone (+961 71 896 804), led by Henry Prütz, is a private dining experience built around curated multi-course menus that highlight creativity and technique. Set in an intimate space, each dinner unfolds in a carefully designed atmosphere, often evolving into a more social and celebratory evening.
ALMA Secret Supper Club operates as a roaming dining concept across the Mediterranean and the Gulf, with locations and guest chefs revealed shortly before each event. Each edition takes place in a different setting—from private gardens to historic or hidden venues—bringing together long-table dining, emerging culinary talent, and a changing sense of place.
Founded by Mariam Baroudi, Sila Table is a seasonal, Lebanese-inspired culinary project that moves between pop-ups, collaborations, and intimate dinners. Rooted in Baroudi’s heritage and travels, it focuses on bringing people together around evolving menus shaped by context, seasonality, and shared experience.
Kitchen Sessions, led by Joseph Khoury, transforms private homes into temporary dining spaces where multi-course meals are paired with curated music. With changing locations and limited seating, each session is a one-off gathering that blends dining with a more informal, social rhythm.
Together, these concepts reflect a growing shift in Lebanon’s food culture—where dining becomes less about formality and more about intimacy, storytelling, and shared experience.
