Why celebrate at Beirut

We opened on Nicolson Square in August 2010, the first Lebanese restaurant in Edinburgh. Christmas here is food to share: mezze for the table, then a main each from the charcoal grill.

All our food is halal, and both menus have vegetarian and vegan dishes. Bring your own wine if you like. The restaurant seats 90, and the private room takes up to 21.
