    As the weekend rolls around, many of us here in Lebanon look forward to gathering with friends and family, and what’s better than doing so over a weekend brunch?

    It’s the time of the week where we don’t have to be up at the crack of dawn, so why not have eggs at 12 o’clock? If you’re planning on brunching but don’t know where to go, we have eight great suggestions for you!

    #1 The Happy Prince (Mar Mikhael)

    Named after an Oscar Wilde’s short story, this whimsical nook off of Armenia Street in Mar Mikhael is a popular brunch spot on weekends, so you better make a reservation to ensure your place!

    The atmosphere at The Happy Prince is a perfect blend of old and new, and the menu reflects that, as well. You can enjoy brunch classics like eggs benedict, a monte cristo, or buttermilk pancakes with a new perspective and all the fixings.

    They also do their own twist on the classic bloody mary by incorporating green juice! Too soon for alcohol at brunch time, maybe, but worth the mention.

    Dar is a great place to brunch, especially in the warmer months, as it has a lovely green-scape patio, and a little bit of everything on the menu, from eggs and sweet concoctions to sandwiches and everything in between.

    If you and your party always have a hard time agreeing on a cuisine, Dar is excellent for satisfying a range of cravings. In addition, if you’re a bookworm, you should check out the well-curated collection inside the bookshop. 

    #3  Z I M I (Gemmayze)
