At Hanna Mitri, be prepared to indulge in the best ice cream in Beirut—maybe even the world. Founder Hanna Mitri has been freshly churning bouza, Arabic-style ice cream that has a satisfying stretchiness to it, for over 60 years. This hole-in-the-wall ice cream parlor is a sweet-tooth landmark for visitors and locals alike who’ve fallen in love with flavors like apricot paste, caramel croquant, and rose water.
