What typical restaurants, food delivery services, and/or takeout options are popular among expatriates?
Everyone goes to Beyrouth over and over again not necessarily because of the food quality (it's decent Lebanese) but because there are few other options. Plus, I've never gotten sick from eating there, so that's my sole recommendation. Grilled camel is popular among some expats, but I'm convinced it's more to be able to tell people you've had grilled camel, rather than for the quality of the meal. - May 2026

There are several restaurants in town that serve expats. All are only doing take out right now, and some are closed until the whole COVID thing blows over. Delivery requires good French skills, since addresses aren't really a thing. - Aug 2020
No American fast food brands or anything similar. Several local restaurants serve some American dishes. Cost is about 50% more than U.S. for comparable items. - Apr 2014
Say goodbye to fast food. You can get a quick sandwich at some places, but no western style. - Nov 2006
