Here to honor the essence of Lebanese cuisine is Lï Beirut, Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait’s latest dining venture that celebrates togetherness. Rooted in generations of tradition, Lï Beirut transforms meals into rituals of connection, where mezze plates become conversation starters and traditional recipes carry the weight of memory. From the moment you tear apart the freshly baked bread to dip into heartful mezze to the soothing melodies of live oud music, it quickly becomes apparent that every bite at Lï Beirut is delivered with thought and intention.

We’re blessed to live in a city defined by diversity, and Lï Beirut emerges as a cultural anchor—rooted in Lebanon’s rich heritage and reimagined for Kuwait’s cosmopolitan dining landscape. While we’ve seen several newcomers to Kuwait’s Levantine dining scene, what sets Lï Beirut apart is its ability to strike a delicate balance, celebrating time-honored recipes while embracing modern sensibilities.

At Lï Beirut, it goes without question that shared meals are paired with ardent conversations. You’re not here for a quick bite. If anything, Lï Beirut arrives as a serene oasis where families and friends gather, connect, and celebrate, away from the city’s hustle and bustle.

Blending sculptural design with natural warmth, the dining experience at Lï Beirut transitions effortlessly from sunlit serenity to moody elegance. By day, the tree-like columns in the outdoors area and woven textures inside create an airy, organic feel. By night, ambient lighting and brass lanterns cast artful shadows alongside the melodies of live oud, setting the tone for a deeply personal dining experience. Guests may opt to sit indoors to revel in the culinary marvels being created in the open kitchen and the live musical oud stylings provided by the live entertainment. Outdoors, the patio-like set-up offers a cozy experience, especially in the early evenings, with immaculate sweeping views of the hotel’s outdoor terraces and pool area overlooking the city.

Lï Beirut’s culinary creativity is spearheaded by Lebanese Chef Mohammed El-Hajjar and his team. A seasoned expert in Lebanese cuisine and with over two decades of experience in Kuwait, Chef Mohammed “Mo” is passionate about infusing classic dishes with an innovative touch. Enter inventive creations like the bold and tropical Tabbouleh Mango and the Lobster and Caviar Potato Kibbeh-both authentically classic, yet elevated to deliver an unparalleled experience. Chef Mo leads with hospitality at the helm, imparting the authentic, welcoming spirit of the Lebanese people. His attention to detail extends beyond the plate, creating a guest experience that is immersive through the vibrant dishes and inimitable musical atmosphere.

We love how Lï Beirut’s menu is serving heritage with refinement, offering tradition with a twist with Chef Mo’s culinary creations. Think of everything you love about Lebanese cuisine but presented in a contemporary light. From the crispiest, flakiest layers of potato in coriander sauce that have forever transformed our perception of Batata Harra, to the most scintillating Wagyu beef and Truffle Hummus, every dish is a conversation between past and present, inviting diners to rediscover Lebanese cuisine through a fresh, refined lens.

Classics remain stellar when original flavors are properly honored. Lovers of Kabab Bl Karaz will appreciate Lï Beirut’s authentic rendition, as the house-made sweet and sour cherry sauce perfectly complements the perfectly seared Kabab.

From the traditional to the ultra-contemporary, the Znoud Al Sit De Mama Mere brings delicious baked meat rolls in crispy pastry atop a bed of yogurt mint sauce, brought together with the satisfying crunch of mixed nuts.

No Lebanese culinary experience is complete without a sampling of coastal dining, and Lï Beirut’s Shrimp Beiruty offers expertly grilled shrimp served in a delectable shakshouka sauce with pine nuts.

At Lï Beirut, no meal is complete without the traditional Lebanese diyafeh, where fresh fruit and dessert round up an inimitable dining experience. If you do venture deeper into the dessert menu, you will discover playful creations like the zesty Saaj Millefeulle, which brings together layers of lemon cream, pecans, and apricots, an incredible take on the French classic, alongside Kanafeh Sambousek reimagined with Jallab sauce and pistachios. The showstopper, though, has to be the Pastel De Tres Leches, celebrating Rose and Cardamom, with raspberry sorbet and a refreshing rose espuma.

Whether savory or sweet, Lï Beirut presents Lebanese cuisine as both a nostalgic journey and a contemporary experience. Find Lï Beirut at Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait open daily from 12 pm to 12 am. Follow @Libeirutkuwait and @FsKuwait for the latest updates on Instagram.
