Yesterday we decide to try this authentic old restaurant in ashrafieh. We went for a dinner we had roquefort salad was amazing with nice after taste, gnocchi a la pesto was average, escalope was delicious too.
The service was amazing and super professional. Very cozy and beautiful ambiance in this restaurant. A little bit expensive but comparing of the experience its nice.

The New Beirut Cellar, exceeded our expectation. The decoration is lush, the service is outstanding, service is fast, and the food is very good and well presented.
The downs:
The place starts to smell when overcrowded, as there are no windows inside, and bad aeration. The menu is way overpriced, it should be 33 to 50% cheaper, compared to the top restaurants and competitors in country in deep crisis. (A starter of makanek is 18$, nachos and cheese are 18$! 15$+ for a salad, 20$ for a simple burger… crazy prices.). The food is good, but not worth the price.
The burger was good, but lacked of spices and character. The fries are frozen, not home made. The green salad is not attractive, and its sauce lacks of taste. The veal escalope is amazing, the sweet chili calamari is amazing, the nachos are ace!
Will try more next time.
As the place is new and buzzing, it is always packed, i am scared that because of their ridiculous prices, when the buzz wears off, people will be coming less and less. Even rich people can smell when a restaurant is overpriced.
