From restaurant reviews and post-holiday detox trends to the most appetizing platters and the softest cookies you can sink your teeth into, many Lebanese have turned their culinary passion into successful food blogs.
Every year, many drool-worthy blogs make an appearance. Some are a major success and some disappear as quickly as a fresh batch of chocolate fudge brownies. Here’s our selection of the most popular food blogs in Lebanon.
If you aren’t familiar with these Lebanese food blogs yet, you need to drop whatever you’re doing and check them out now.
1. Taste of Beirut
Joumana Accad is a recipe developer, food stylist, photographer, and most importantly, the blogger behind Taste of Beirut. Taste of Beirut will immerse you into Lebanon’s cultural cuisine with authentic Lebanese recipes. With recipes as diverse as dried fig jam and cranberry scones, each post is more appetizing than the last.
2. No Garlic No Onions
Anthony Rahayel, the man behind the ultra popular food blog, No Garlic No Onions, knows exactly what he’s doing. Aside from helpful and entertaining reviews to almost all quick-eats and fine dining outlets in town, his blog offers photos that are, well, too convincing.
3. Beirutista
Back in 2012, Danielle Issa started her blog Beirutista and introduced her dual cultural background to the world. What really gets our attention though, is her love for Lebanon and food, especially Lebanese Mezze. Her photos say it all.
