FLINT đź“ŤDAHER EL SAWAN
This beautiful hidden gem of Baabdat is especially nice to visit for a charming, comfortable, and relaxed dinner. In addition to the cozy atmosphere and authentic architecture, you can enjoy the delicious food Flint has to offer.
On weekends, they have a live music band to entertain you whilst enjoying your time there! Located in the Daher el Sawan district, Flint is an old & traditional Lebanese house turned into a restaurant. It is an extremely charming hidden restaurant and you would surely enjoy it, especially in winter.
The ambiance is very cozy and delightful. It is a 100-year-old house, renovated by two brothers who designed it with beautiful art & candles. What was super unique for me is its name! Flint, referring to the restaurant, means stone of "Sawan" in Lebanese!
The food is the perfect combination of French and International cuisine. The menu is diverse and fitting for different appetites & budgets! We tried a couple of their dishes. We started off by having vegetarian spring rolls which were really tasty and rich in flavour. If you are a brie lover like I am, you must order their brie cheese in the pan with bread, I absolutely loved it. We also got Moules et frites was alright, it was cooked in the red wine sauce, but I prefer moules with white wine sauce. Their pork ribs were so rich in flavour and extremely juicy and the sauce complements it perfectly. The portions are big for their price.
For desserts, they have a tray with different options for you to choose from. We enjoyed the food with a bottle of Kefraya Comte de M can’t go wrong with this one. Although I didn’t eat that much, I think… I felt so heavy after eating.
The service was very friendly. Keep in mind that Flint isn’t kid-friendly but pet-friendly. They do not accept cards, only cash, and when they have a band playing, they charge per person.
Overall, it’s a really cozy winter place for a date night, the food is good, but not something very special since it is very mixed, Asian, French, and International. The prices are very reasonable though for an average of 30$ per person. I recommend going there for a date night or dinner with friends.
