Gilgamesh is a Lebanese restaurant located on a pine hill in Antelias and serving American food. The place is peaceful and calm. In fact it is ranked as one of the delightful restaurant in Lebanon. It is obviously clean and organized. The platters look appealing as they well served delicious and well decorated.
The only inconvenient I find in that place, is that the ingredients written on the menu does not match with the food ingredients once they’re served. It happened once that my boyfriend and i ordered chicken fajita and chicken avocado sandwiches. The surprise was that the sandwiches tasted so much alike as the ingredients were almost the same with not a single trace of avocado in the chicken avocado sandwich!!
It’s unfortunate that such a restaurant treats this issue foolishly…

A new restaurant opened 2 months ago on Dbayeh Highway, Living Colors… Actually the place is warm , sophisticated and its colors really match. I’ve been in that place twice. The first time the food was absolutely amazing, which was not the case the second time! I ordered fish and chips, the chips were delicious unlike the fishes which were not crunchy at all!
The place attracts mainly families as it contains a variety of games for kids in the second floor and in the backyard! That’s one of the reasons why it becomes overcrowded during the weekends. From this perspective, I believe that this restaurant should maintain a certain level of quality in order not to keep its clients especially that it was recently opened.
Chinese food is becoming widespread in many parts of the world. Each Chinese meal is prepared in bite-sized so it would be easier to pick up using chop sticks. Traditionally, every individual gets a bowl of rice while main dishes are served in common plates.
If you ever wanted to have Chinese food in Lebanon, there is one place to go… CHOP STICKS!!!
This restaurant knows all the rules about good hospitality. It is the place to eat!
I had the chance to visit three of its branches: Dbayeh, Dekwane, downtown Beirut.
The service in the first two branches is excellent! But I was disappointed when I experienced the Beirut branch. The service was very poor although the place was not overcrowded. Our welcome drinks arrived 10 minutes late; we waited about 30 minutes to order, and another 30 minutes for our food to arrive:
The food was good but not as good as it was in the other branches!!
When it came to desert, it was UNFORTUNATELY one of the worst deserts I’ve ever had in my entire life! I guess it was made about two days earlier, not fresh at all with a weird smell and taste!
I was wondering if that was the result of a lack of staff, but rumors has been flying since then that they had probably changed their staff… I hope they worked on improving their service.
