We stumbled upon this place when visit Mutrah Souq then we found out it's one of the must-visit places. The entrance is quite sketchy, passing through a narrow street filled with stray cats, however once you enter the restaurant, it has a nice traditional seating in the middle and indoor/outdoor spaces. We sat indoors, you sit on the floor, the traditional way. The food is good and the service is nice. Our server suggested we have a mix of Omani sweets which didn't disappoint. On the way out, they will give you rosewater for your hands. Overall nice experience if you're looking for a traditional Omani restaurant
The Sage Parlour
2022 Mar 04
Out of the breakfast spots in Beirut, I was very excited to try the Sage Parlour. It was okay, but let me tell you I left hungry.
We were three people, we ordered three dishes and dessert. Portions are small. The taste is good and there’s a nice variety of options. It’s very sophisticated ashrafieh style cafe. Good for work as well. There’s a nice concept store inside from lebanese businesses.
If you’re afraid of cats though, beware. We made it a point to sit inside and not on the terrace because two of us are afraid of cats. There’s a street cat that enters inside the restaurant and sits under the tables. It’s not very pleasing to see that.
Overall it’s a quaint little place. Good for coffee but not to have a full on meal.

This is my new favorite coffee shop in Beirut.

Located in Gemmayze on the main street, the vibes here are very laid back.

The waiters are friendly and cool.
The selections of coffee and tea are endless.

They have have some salads and breakfast options and desserts too.

Sit outside, it’s much more pleasant.
