Cloud of Lace at Bread Republic #Beirut

Sunny Saturday morning, fresh Beiruti breeze, and a sweet get together date with dear ones after a long departure dictated a cozy outdoor outing over some cozy meal… & Bread Republic perfectly serves this purpose.

Located in a walking distance from where I was residing in Hamra, it was refreshing to get to Bread Republic amidst an odd collection of beautiful old houses and shops that are threatened of being demolished in favor of the new elegant, glass and cement towers that are invading Ras Beirut. We chose to sit outside, taking benefit from the warmth of the sun, beside some friendly international tourists, journalists and a bunch of college students.

Bread Republic offers home-made like platters and freshly squeezed juices. My omelette was composed of eggs scrambled with gruyere cheese, wrapping fresh green thyme leaves, chopped tomatoes, a sprinkle of green onions. The omelette was perfectly paired with a freshly baked slice of bread… It was a pure delight on such a lazy beautiful Saturday 🙂

I was delighted to find out that Cavalli Caffè has officially and finally opened its doors yesterday, Friday January 4th in Beirut.

Located in Karagulla Building, right next to Beirut Souks, the prestigious business, shopping, dining and nightlife district of Down Town Beirut, the Cavalli Caffè over looks a breath-taking view of the Mediterranean Sea.

Beside offering a wide mouth-watering selection of the finest Italian dishes, Beirut’s Cavalli Caffè will also showcase a boutique shop that will sell a wide range of imported Italian delicacies, like chocolate gift boxes, Cavalli Reserve red Wine, Cavalli Premium Italian Vodka and Grappa, among others.

It’s decoration definitely reflects Cavalli’s signature creative touch, which can be noted in the zebra and giraffe prints on the fashionable chairs and sofas, in the crystal lamps as well as other striking details of the contemporary interior.

“Experiencing the enjoyment of exquisite food and surrounded by pleasant company, sipping a delicious cup of Italian coffee… this is the Cavalli Caffè philosophy. My desire was to transmit my deep passion for beauty and sensuality in a hospitality project… I believe Beirut will rapidly become a big fan of Cavalli Caffè”, said Roberto Cavalli, Chairman of Roberto Cavalli Group.

I can’t wait to show you more details of their cuisine and interior decoration!

I couldn’t help but fall in love with this unique piece by Bijoux Accaoui, one of the leading Jewelry houses in Lebanon. Just marveling at how beautifully this agate was carved, and at what’s held within its rough interior… A sparkling golden ball, glittering boldly, side by side with the softest, most feminine pink shade a pearl can ever hold…

“It is interesting to know that this piece, or its parts, come from 4 different places of our planet: The geode agathe from North Canada, the pearl from Japan, the diamond blasted sphere from Italy, and the assembly, hook , and design proudly from Beirut,” Antoine Accaoui.

… Just feast your eyes!
