Shams Rooftop

Lovely garden setting on a rooftop terrace above the museum. Very comfortable in the shade. Choice of food was good. We had the fattoush, the felafel dish and baklava with ice cream. All delicious. Nice people.

Overall a nice place. Different type of food with some selection libanese food

My family and I decided to have lunch here after we visited the museum this resturant was built on. To get to Shams go to the top most floor. We were nicely surprised by their beautiful garden. We enjoyed refreshing drinks and delicious moroccan food with vegan options.

Adorable place, a charming rooftop garden, with many plants, very kind staff and fresh food. Maybe it wasn’t the best Lebanese food I tried, but it was tasty and fresh. Prices are quite low. Baklava was incredible! We will be back!

This a restaurant with a modern Lebanese/fusion menu at the rooftop of an art museum. Most diners are museum visitors who end up at the rooftop, but you can also go directly to the restaurant without visiting the museum by informing the reception - who will then take you in through the back door/gift shop where there is an elevator directly to the 3rd floor. The restaurant ambience on the rooftop is definitely enchanting - it's like a beautiful secret garden on the roof and was very shady, cool for lunch even on a hot sunny day. Tables are very spaced out. The service is also swift, friendly and good. However the food honestly is very so-so. It is beautifully plated and presented, but the taste is extremely average (or even below average) depending what you order. The smoked eggplant caviar was the most notable dish out of everything we tried. The batatas and burger duo were just OK. Most disappointing was the pasta of the day which should be avoided: it's prepared with packaged dry pasta not fresh (for this price we were at least expecting fresh pasta). I'm only a home cook but was still confident I can produce a tastier dish with packaged pasta than the one served 😜 Still this is a nice place to enjoy a lovely ambience and environment, with a juice or mocktail - just don't go only for the food 😉 Credit cards accepted.
