I’m loving the walk in Beirut Souks lately. In a place like Lebanon, where walking on the street may be hazardous to your health, Beirut souks provides you with that option; danger-free. So we stopped for a quick-bite with some friends at The Metropolitan Eatery. We sat on the patio.The interior had a modern New York-en touch to it with your typical Andy Warhol style decor, nothing we haven’t seen before, but a convenient place for business lunches.
The menu was anything but a surprise. You have your usual sandwiches section, pastas , burgers and pizza. A mix of international favorites that you would find in any other Lebanese diner, but for cheaper and heartier.
The service was fast and efficient. But does Beirut need yet another ordinary restaurant? Not really! I walked into that place expecting something different , but ended up paying around 92,000LL for the above, with no alcohol. Between grabbing a quick sandwich at TSC Signature after some shopping and eating-in at The Met- I would do TSC. Anyone else tried it? Thoughts? Bisoux

We I tried it, i really liked the atmosphere of the place, the music and the drinks menu, plus the very lovely service. The food as u said is average.
But then again us girls are hard to impress.

Well i would rather eat Met then eating from TSC and then being sick for a week. TSC Food is like the worst in The Souk. The Chicken is rubber, the shrimp smells and the pasta is not always good….

Like Darine said the place is really nice BUT like you said the food was dry, not creative, and overpriced! I had the ham and cheese pizza and you described exactly how I felt it tasted.
