Tucked in a quiet corner of the buzzing Mar Mikhael neighborhood, Tawlet was founded by Kamal Mouzawak, creator of the country’s best-known farmer’s market, Souk el Tayeb. Possibly the most recommended restaurant in Beirut, Tawlet’s daily rotation of freshly prepared dishes, presented buffet-style, features regional recipes from women home cooks around the country. For a flat price, you can fill your plate with the spread du jour, presented by the chef-of-the-day herself. A holistic representation of a Lebanese family meal, the buffet also includes a separate section for desserts. The dining room is bright and airy, with hanging plants and a section of artisanal products for purchase.
