Tawlet, Souk El Tayeb, Beirut, Lebanon

If you’re ever in Beirut and craving a freash, authentic meal that lets you
sample the flavours of Lebanon, you should hop in a cab and head straight
for Tawlet. Part of the open-air, weekly Souk el Tayeb farmer’s market, this
restaurant – which I believe is a permanent set-up even if it is technically
part of a market – is a truly unique concept.

Tawlet: Lebanese Locavore Love

On my first visit to Beirut’s Tawlet, I stopped to ask a shopkeeper directions. “Tawlet?” she verified.
I nodded. “C’est très bon,” with a delicate flutter of the fingers accompanying her très, before she
pointed me in the right direction. I’d heard great things about Tawlet for quite some time. The
shopkeeper’s gesture was the icing on the cake. I knew the way I know my own name that this meal
was going to be exceptional.

Bringing the deliciousness of Palestine to Beirut

BEIRUT: Almost two dozen women circled around a long kitchen table. Wearing
plastic aprons and gloves, they emptied bowls of onions and began to chop.
It looked like a cooking class, but the professional chefs were asking questions,
not giving instructions.

Eating in Lebanon: Tawlet Restaurant

I had been to Beirut once before but left with unfinished business:
I hadn’t eaten at Tawlet, the unusual home-style restaurant that I
kept hearing about. So when I was recently nearby, at a World
Economic Forum meeting in Jordan, I made a quick dash to the
city, landing, luckily, right in time for lunch.

Beirut’s Farmers’ Market

A pyramid of plump, purple figs rests on a wooden crate next to a row of
football-sized pumpkins, some sporting amusing growths and still covered in
the soil they grew in; tell-tale signs they were never destined for a supermarket
shelf.
