D.t. By Downtown - Beirut

Super rediscovered restaurant. Wasn't sure what to expect because I've read that very well and evil. Ultimately, the good is definitely true. At first the bread was just great and I tried the brioche with delicious butter variations. Then the Amuse-Bouche, which were just so delicious. The entrances were all very original, while the main dishes reflected the quality and high standards of the restaurant. We have this with the Eclair and Caramel mille-feuille. Service was effective and discreet, not pushy at all and I enjoyed a very beautiful glass of Pinot. I recommend Kaleo and will be back soon...

If you’re about the innovative decoration of DT, So, Collecting and Memory Lane among many creative designs created by David and Nicolas by Founded’d Group, then you’ll surely love their new signature Kaléo opened last March. With velvet green and flamenco 's pink, the interior is very welcoming. Various seating areas in a relatively small space, which has been cleverly optimized by mirrors and bright colors to reflect a larger space. A creative colorful wall behind the bar area that leads to the wine cave and the bathroom adds a distinctive touch. What the bathrooms, discretely hidden behind a mirror sliding door in Rhym with the elegant comfortable design of the restaurant, all by a touch of marble and soft lighting. Oh, did I mention the little sofa for the ladies' bags? We were three to share a nice lunch experience in Kaléo. The welcome of the restaurant manager Jean Yves is so comforting, discreetly he has accompanied us all through lunch without being imposing. There was a selection of vegetable pears made in their special oven and waiting for us with a beautiful rose on the table. Jean Yves has informed us about the daily specials; we decided to share many articles, and while we wait for our order, the fresh hot bread of Le chasseur d 'Instants Clement Tannouri was served with three types of butter that shaped to Kaléo's logo, with the taste promising a delicious continuity. The triangle, one with fleur de sel, the circle with sun-dried tomatoes, and the cubic with black pepper and believe me, I am someone who usually skips the butter completely, I LOVED THEM! Next was a plate of small tapas: my favorite was the rillette de poisson over a crispy chip, pate à choux with cheese all fluffy and feuilletée au champignon. And the journey began, yellow tail carpaccio: thick circles bathe in delicious juice and decorated with muzzles and basil, with points of citrus reduction and avocado embellishment of the plate: I can say it is the best carpaccio I have tasted, the texture of the fish so satisfying with any bite you tend for more La Burrata with multicolored tomatoes: not your typical; it is chopped and seasoned with salt and pepper with the cut rounded tomatoes, crispy bread and pine nuts on the top: for the first time I was able to enjoy this dish as often. Green salad: Mixing seasonal greens, endives and figs in season all baths in pomegranate vinaigrette: so fresh and healthy it immediately makes less guilty for what will follow! Coming next to the catch of the day: Merou with fennel (read more about their benefits): a clobular fillet over a bed of sawed fennel and dressed with a beautiful edible flower: it was perfectly coupled with caramelized endives and the multi-grass bread or even the wild rice served beautifully in a black Concotte! Saumon, Saumon, Saumon: No, it's not a spelling mistake, no worries, this is an actual dish where salmon is presented in three different ways: in tartaric acid, smoked and garvalax with beet roots, which was tasty and perfectly coupled with the wild spinach; a very special delicious rotation of the regular salmon plate. Wagyu cattle fillet: boiled medium, juicy and delicate, served over a light purée and can also be enjoyed with their fries Pavlova aux fruits rouge: architecture in dessert! Layers of red fruits with pistachios and passion fruit ice cream, a base of white chocolate and crispy mountain of medals: this contrast in all textures and flavors was so fresh and special Baba au Rhum tahiti: fluffy and syrupy THE BEST mi cuit chocolate tarte fondant: Godiva chocolate fill a crispy almond tart base, top with gold leaf and coupled with cocoa ice cream Bonus will be open in the afternoon to enjoy their coffee and desserts! La Petite

Luxery place and cozy to visit. The food portions are small but very deliceous. Recomended to visit but not so often as his prices are a bit higher than other places

A fine dining room jewelry for a very affordable price. Complete meal for 2 with magnificient amuse-gueules (beetroot chips are to die) and 2 glasses of wine for 140USD. You can have a gourmet menu for $100 per person. The restaurant itself is small compact and what is remarkable is its design that you can see from the street. Colorful, slim, easy. Designed by David/Nicolas. We had Supreme de fullaile and a Wagyu steak both cooked for perfection. Meat was juicy, potatoes and other vegetables were super fresh. Jean-Yves is one of the best restaurant managers we've ever seen. He knows her 2000 cave wines very well and we discussed how the food is prepared, the cooks and so on. Definitely impressing a place, you can increase your parties there to a whole new level. Hidden fine food gemstone, we will try all your menu! Stop the good food.
