Very nice outdoor area! There a few indoor tables but they are not worth going for as the view and the weather outside is what makes this place so special! Right next to the eastern mangroves! Great for morning breakfasts! They serve very unique Lebanese cuisine, drinks and beverages.

The food, crew and place are nice but bad experienced service from the manager. My advise, next time you are asking your staff what time the customer will come in our other reserved table better discuss it far in our place where we cannot hear your conversation.

It was very good experience, I liked most of the food. The restaurant specializes in Arabic food mostly, and the area is very unique with a great view.

Visited for breakfast with the family, we were a party of four. Never been greeted, never been assisted to be given a table and never been paid attention to take our order. We figured that to get the menu mobile camera can be used to scan a barcode.We were waiting for a waiter/ waitress to get our order for some time, many of them looked at us but didn’t approach our table. So we decided to leave. Our visit was on 25 Dec 2020 around 9:50 am.

Great view with delicious desserts.. However, the food quality (main courses) should be improved.. We went as a group and tried many options but we didnt have a good experience for the main food items..

Everything was ok except the attitude of the staff against our son yelling sometimes because due to a psychological trauma after my father pass away. I won’t go there again. Out of that food, drink and set up was ok.

Review β„–31

A safe bet. The ambience, overlooking the marina, is beautiful - especially when the weather is mild. The color tones of the furniture are soft and help you relax. The chairs are comfy, and in the sheesha area it just invites you to sprawl out, take a deep puff and sink into comfort.We didn’t have an adequate spread to comment authoritatively on the food. The zaatar labneh sharing plate we ordered is good for two and tasty. They don’t scrimp on the ingredients, the zaatar and labneh were laid on heavy. The sulaimani was a bit plain. The disappointment was the strawberry milkshake - the taste of strawberry was so faint and the milkshake wasn’t sweet. Again, this is only a mild criticism and genuinely see so many good things here that we hope they iron out the small niggles.

The ambience of the place is great however the staff are very rude and disrespectful even through the phone, majorly the team leader / manager who does not know how to interact with customers and does not care a bit about losing customers. Very disappointed in his people skills as a restaurant manager.

CafΓ© Blanc at Anantara is a restaurant offering a variety of Lebanese traditional delicacies. The restaurant is well placed has an indoor and outdoor area. The outdoor seatings are particularly appreciated October to April as having a nice and chilling view on the eastern mangrove. Prices are reasonable, service is adequate. I recommend this venue for family weekend lunch gathering the casual way or for a coffee with a friend.

Review β„–54

Grills quality was horrible, the Kebab had a very bad smell, the olive oil also seems from previous years. Also the manager was not cooperative when we asked to downsize one of the main courses, claiming that it is already being prepared, when really he only needed to reduce one skewer

Review β„–55

I came with friends and we ordered different dishes as we all do like Lebanese food a lot in general. We were disappointed as we didnt find it delicious. The main dishes really needs to be improved.Best thing was just the lemon mint and the service was good.The outside atmosphere with Mangroves view is amazing.

The food was tasty. The strange thing is that they dont have shawls, even though Cafe is open and near the water and it was quite cool to sit outside. Also we have ordered mixed fresh juice which was supposed to be made of natural fresh juices, but there was frozen mango jam, full of sugar.

I love this spot. Really cozy, relaxing, and romantic if you’re here with your partner. The whole mangrove area has a really serene vibe to it. It’s calm and with a view of the waterfront. Love going there. Service is great and probably one of the best shishas ever!
