If you are sick of Manakish, or Kaak with picon, or Knefeh, an alternative for a yummy breakfast is “Chez Paul” in Gemmayze. It has the yummiest croissants and breads filled with cheese, almond, zaatar, chocolate etc …

The best thing is to go there in the early morning before going to work when everything is still hot and fresh. If you have time, you can have breakfast there in their lovely indoor restaurant and outdoor garden.

It also is not expensive at all. I got two cheese baguettes, three chocolate breads, two thym breads for 18,000 LL.
