SAIDA / SIDON, LEBANON - This was one of the best days and Lebanese food tours of my trip to Lebanon.

Here are the street food and places we visited in this video:

Abou Al Abed Cafe - Seafood Restaurant - They are very cool, and you choose the seafood you want, and they will deep fry it all, and serve it with different sauces and dips. We ate seafood for breakfast, and it was perfect.

Foul Abou El-Ezz - Kamel and Ramil both said this is the best ful in Lebanon, and it was no doubt the best ful I’ve ever had in my life. The amount of spices and additions, as well as the bitter orange, made it superd. Additionally, his fatteh and hummus were insane.

Kahwet el Qzez - Old coffee shop - Probably the coolest old coffee shop in Lebanon, it’s a community social atmosphere, where people hang out, gather, talk, drink coffee, and play cards.

Rahat el Halkoun - Turkish Delight - We stopped for a quick taste of Turkish delight in Lebanon.

Dabane Palace Museum - Along with street food, we also enjoyed walking around the ancient souk market areas of Saida / Sidon. The Dabane Palace was impressive. Price - 5,000 LBP ($3.31)

Falafel Abou Rami - Finally to end this street food tour, we ate at this legendary falafel spot, the king of falafel. One of the best falafel sandwiches I’ve ever had. Total price - 16,000 LBP ($10.61)

It was another fantastic day in Lebanon, experiencing some of the best Arabian Lebanese food I’ve had.

Lebanese STREET FOOD TOUR in Sidon - Brain Sandwiches & Bread Factory in Saida, Lebanon!

????NICO:
???????? AL BABA:
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:

After dreaming about it for over a decade, I finally made it to Lebanon, my 85th country! My adventures in the country started in Sidon, a coastal city about 45 minutes south of Beirut. Come with me as I go on an incredible Lebanese street food tour of Sidon!

Joining me on my first Lebanese food tour is my friend Nico. He’d be taking me to the souk and the best spots in town to have sweets, baked goods, and even some more exotic far like sheep brains!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

Our tour began at Al Baba Sweets to have some knafeh, which is popular Middle Eastern snack. It’s made from semolina dough or phyllo dough and stuffed with cheese! Here, they stuff a slice of it into kaak bread and top it with some sugar syrup! Al Baba is the best place to have it in town!

They also had lots of other sweets, including namoura, sanyoura, and basbousa. They reminded me of Armenian sweets! There, their employee Najah told me that the sanyoura is a Sidon specialty and is filled with pistachio.

The sanyoura was like a flaky cookie or biscuit with pistachios inside. It wasn’t too sweet. They also have different varieties of ma’amul with walnuts, dates, figs, apricots, pistachio, sesame seeds, orange, and more. It was really airy!

The namoura was made with semolina flour, rose water, a sugar syrup called atter, and honey. It was like a sweet, dense, and sugary cake. I liked it a lot!

Then, we tried the knafeh inside the kaak bread. It was gooey, sweet, and savory! I loved the combination of the soft filling and crispy bread! It was delicious and decadent!

Next, we drove through Sidon to the souk, or market. Along the way, Nico told me a lot about Sidon. There were lots of palm trees and beautiful buildings.

At the Port of Sidon, I could see the famous citadel. We met a fish vendor there. I could smell the fish coming from the port! We also saw a famous building where merchants would sell their goods hundreds of years ago. It looked almost like a fortress!

We passed down a narrow alley between shops and apartments near the Bab Al Saray Plaza, Abou Nakhleh Mosque, and El-Omari Great Mosque. We were going to find a man who makes cheese. I loved the architecture of the buildings!

The man makes a yellow cake called sfouf, which also contains turmeric and saffron. It was a crumbly, sweet, and airy cake with almonds and lots of saffron flavor!

Next, we headed to a coffee shop. The people in Lebanon were so friendly. We passed a lot of vegetable and sweets vendors. Walking the lanes of the Old Town felt like taking a step back in time!

Then, we headed to Saint Louis castle, which was in ruins and built in 1253 during the crusades. There are lots of ruins and archaeological excavation sites, as this is ancient land. They discover them when they try to build on the land!

We walked down the wider streets on the outskirts of the Old Town and headed to a shop that makes sheep brain, sheep membrane, and sheep tongue sandwiches! The brain by itself with salt and pepper was gooey and soft!

In the brain sandwich, they added garlic sauce, membrane, tomatoes, and pickles. I loved the soft texture, toasted bread, and garlic flavor! They say if you eat brains, you become smarter! Both sandwiches were good, but the brains were better. The owner was so nice!

Our final stop was Falafel Al Akkawi, the best local falafel shop. You can get them in a sandwich or alone with tarator (a tahini-based sauce with lemon). They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside!

Then, we had them in a sandwich with parsley, onions, tomatoes, chilies, and pickles. The chilies were like peperoncino. The sandwich was like a fresh vegan wrap. It was so good! It cost just over $1 USD!

Eating The BEST FOOD in Lebanon - Massive Family Lunch!

????Ultimate Street Food Tour in Beirut:
????T-shirts and caps:

Huge thank you to Kamel and the entire Taha family. When you’re in Beirut, go check out their amazing boutique grocery store called Feryal Mouneh Boutique ( And follow Kamel here: Of all the food I ate in Lebanon, for me the best Lebanese food is home-cooked, often on Sunday.

Sunday Family Lunch in Lebanon - There’s a lot of amazing food you can eat in Lebanon, but nothing quite compares to a Sunday family lunch. Having a chance to eat lunch on Sunday with a family is the greatest display of Lebanese food, culture, and hospitality, all wrapped into a single celebration of Lebanese food. It was an honor to have a chance to hang out with the Taha family and celebrate Sunday lunch with them. #Lebanon #LebaneseFood #food

Fifi (Kamel’s Mom) made an impressive spread of home-cooked Lebanese food - including a mix of dishes, the highlights being stuffed cabbage rolls, and stuffed intestines and grape leaves. When I asked Kamel what dishes he missed the most from Lebanon when he goes traveling, or when he lived abroad, and he said, him and his brothers always come home and ask Mom for stuffed intestines.

It was nothing short of an epic home-cooked meal, one of the most memorable of my life, and to be surrounded by such an incredible family was a privilege.

Thank you again to Kamel and the Taha’s (

Kamel:

BAALBEK, LEBANON - Baalbek is an ancient city in central Lebanon, founded as a Phoenician city, but with immense history and civilizations, and impressive Roman ruins. But along with the ruins, Baalbek is known for its unique bakery foods and lots of grilled meat. This turned out to be one of my favorite dates in Lebanon for the mix of food, culture, and history. #Baalbek #Lebanon #LebaneseFood

Laiterie Massabki - On the drive from Beirut to Baalbek, we took the highway that goes from Beirut to Damascus, Syria, and Kamel mentioned that almost everyone who makes the drive stops for some cheese sandwiches a long the way, so we had to stop. They turned out to be incredibly delicious, well worth a stop. Total price - 26,000 LBP ($17.25)

Sfiha Baalbakiyye - One of the highlights of the day and of my trip to Lebanon was going to the butchery to order fresh kebabs. At the butchery they also ground fresh meat, mixed it with herbs and spices, and then we took it to the bakery across the street to make Sfiha Baalbakiyye. The bakery skills they had were super human! The kebabs and kofta were stunning as well. 65,000 LBP ($43.12) - Price for all meat and pastries

Palmyra Hotel - Kamel knows the manager of the classic Palmyra Hotel, which has been in continual operation for the last 140 years. After walking around the hotel for a bit, we had a Baalbek style food lunch in their courtyard. Food was delicious, fresh, and different tasting from a lot of the Lebanese food I had tried so far. After lunch we went to a very kind womans home to see the local Baalbek cheese and have a coffee as well.

Baalbek Ruins - And to finish off this food and attractions tour of Baalbek, we visited the famous ruins. I was blown away by the preservation and magnitude of the ruins - they are truly spectacular. 15,000 LBP ($9.95) - Entrance per person

It was an amazing day in Baalbek, Lebanon, and the highlight for me was the bakery skills and the kofta.

Falafel Abou Rami’s take out food in Sidon, Lebanon

Falafel Abou Rami’s is a popular fast food take out food stand in Sidon, which is located in southern Lebanon. The owner makes the Falafel wraps himself and does a little show of it as he makes the wraps.
The food was delicious, and very cheap as the place was not fancy. He had a lot of customers. We definitely enjoyed the food at this food stand in Sidon, Lebanon

The BEST STREET FOOD in LEBANON - Shawarma, Falafel & Kaakeh | Beirut, Lebanon

????NICOLAS:
???????? RESTAURANT JOSEPH:
???????? FALAFEL FREIHA:

As my time in Lebanon continued, I set out on an amazing food tour of its capital. Join me as I go on an unforgettable Beirut street food tour in this beautiful coastal Lebanon city!

My guide Nicolas and I started off at Restaurant Joseph, which is known for having the best chicken shawarma in Lebanon and the world! They won the award for best sandwich in the world in 2015!

???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

Inside, I watched them build a plate of chicken shawarma, lettuce, pickles, and fries. There, I met Joseph and saw their chicken, meat, and shrimp skewers, as well as their buffet and sandwich toppings.

The chicken shawarma sandwich contained lots of juicy chicken and the amazing garlic sauce. The bread had a nice crunch, as did the pickles inside. It was like a chicken salad with herbs inside bread!

The beef shawarma sandwich contained parsley and tarator sauce. It was so tasty! They’re both amazing and less than $3 each. The tomatoes inside also blew my mind!

From there, we hopped in the car and drove through the rain to Falafel Freiha, which is the #1 falafel shop in Lebanon on Trip Advisor. They’re famous for their falafels.

Falafels are chickpea & fava bean fritters mixed with bulgur. They’re usually eaten in a pita with lettuce, tomatoes, and sauce.

This falafel sandwich contained tarator sauce, parsley, tomatoes, and white radish. I loved the falafels The sandwich was crispy and the radish gave it a nice crunch. The parsley and tomatoes were super refreshing!

The owner didn’t charge me at all, but they usually cost 30,000 Lebanese pounds each.

Then, we drove to Kaakeh Square, where they make kaakeh, which is a type of bread with sesame seeds. They have many varieties, including plain, rye, and oat.

They stuffed the kaakeh with white French cheese with za’atar. The cheese inside was very melty and gooey. I loved the za’atar inside! What a way to end my Beirut food tour in Lebanon!

They Serve 1000’s a Day!! BIGGEST SHAWARMA - Middle Eastern Food!!

???????? Rare Saudi Arabian Food in Al Hasa:
????️ Get Smoked Ghost Pepper:
???? Subscribe:

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA - Welcome to Riyadh, the biggest city in Saudi Arabia and today we’re going on a mixed food tour to eat one of the biggest and most popular shawarma’s in the city, to eat a local family feast, and then to hang out with Hisham who will cook us the national food of Saudi Arabia!

Mama Noura ( - Easily one of the most famous restaurants in all of Riyadh is Mama Noura, where they serve what is probably the biggest shawarma in Saudi Arabia, they serve 1000’s and 1000’s of customers everyday. Their main shawarma is made from chicken, marinated perfectly and served in house made bread with garlic sauce and pickles. One of the characteristic differences is that it’s served very small, like sliders, so you can eat many of them. We also tried their juices which are popular as well. This is a must eat when you’re in Saudi Arabia!

Home meal in Riyadh - Next up we we were kindly invited over to the home of Turkey who invited to share a meal with his family. Typically every weekend they gather together to cook and eat. Today, Uncle made his famous mandi, and we also had braised camel. The meal was outstanding, laying over a bed of rice and all of us coming together for the feast. We also sat by the fire, enjoyed each others company and a variety of different snacks and Saudi Arabian delicacies - and of course Saudi coffee and sweet tea. It was truly a remarkable experience and display of genuine hospitality.

Kabsa with Hisham - Huge thanks to Hisham: - Finally to round up this tour, we headed over to Hisham’s house where he cooked orange kabsa, what is probably the national food of Saudi Arabia and his particular recipe originating from his family in Makkah. It was incredible to learn about all the Arabian spices and ingredients that went into the recipe and then to share the kabsa with Hisham at his house. Thank you Hisaham!

Thank you again to and to Visit Saudi Arabia for arranging my trip and this incredible experience!

Ultimate TRADITIONAL LEBANESE FOOD Tour of Beirut, Lebanon!!

????NICOLAS:
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:

With the dawn of a new day in Beirut, Lebanon, I went on a no holds barred food tour of eastern Beirut with my friend and guide Nico! Come with us as we eat our way through eastern Beirut, Lebanon!

We’d be doing a mix of different foods this morning, which were different from Lebanese mezze.

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

Our first stop was Abou Hassan, where we watched them prepare ful (fava beans with chickpeas, oil, and lemon juice). They come with onion, tomato, mint, peperoncini, and pickled beets.

I also watched them prepare fatteh, which is bread and chickpeas in yogurt topped with butter and nuts.

They also made a variation of hummus called mousabbaha, which contains salt, garlic, chickpea paste, whole chickpeas, and lime juice.

The ful with pita contained onions, and I loved the fluffiness of the pita. The fatteh was light and creamy. The herbs in it were fantastic. I loved it. It reminded me of Indian chaats.

Finally, the mousabbaha was incredibly hot and flavorful. It was an amazing variation of hummus. The radish, peperoncini, tomatoes, and mint, were also amazing. We got it all for about $7 USD!

Next, we drove through the eastern suburbs of the city. Between the weather and the architecture, it felt like I was somewhere in Europe!

At Café Younes, we had some amazing black Turkish coffee. Then, Nico read my fortune. He saw a dragon, which means something good will happen to me soon!

From there, we walked to a local produce vendor and tried some pomegranate seeds. They also sold tomatoes, onions, potatoes, beets, and more!

Next, we drove 10 minutes to Cocktail Jabbour for some fruit cocktails. They’re like fruit smoothies with fresh fruit on them. I went with the avocado with banana, kiwi, strawberries, strawberry juice, avocado puree, whipped cream, and honey.

It cost $2 and was super healthy and refreshing. There was no added sugar. I loved the curd.

Then, we drove to the ruins of Petit Serail in the heart of Beirut. They’re actually the foundations of an Ottoman palace. You can also see old Roman aqueducts and houses there!

Beirut has been rebuilt seven times. The country also has a rich history and was once controlled by the Phoenicians, Persians, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans.

Nearby is Independence Square, which is where commerce happened in the 1960s. There’s also a mosque and church nearby.

The next area we walked through was full of French-inspired architecture. There are silk factories in the area, as well as restaurants and pubs. I loved the bright colors and the architecture.

We arrived at Le Chef, a restaurant that was destroyed at one point. Its owners put up a GoFundMe to fund its reconstruction, and the actor Russell Crowe paid for it to be rebuilt! Here, we’d have homestyle Lebanese cooking.

We had some loubieh (green beans in tomato sauce), maghmour/moussaka (roasted eggplant & chickpea stew), mujadara msufaye (rice & lentil paste with caramelized onions), and kibbeh labanieh (meat fritters with yogurt).

The loubieh was light and chunky and felt really healthy. I really liked the grainy mujadara msufaye, and the roasty maghmour blew me away. It was amazing!

The kibbeh labanieh came with bulgur and was hollow but hearty.

Then, they brought dessert: mahalabieh (orange blossom pudding) and meghli (rice flour pudding with cinnamon, caraway, anise, and nuts).

The meghli was fluffy and thick, with an added crunch from the nuts. I loved the mahalabieh, which was thick and cold and had the nice orange flavor. It reminded me of panna cotta! The whole meal cost us $10 USD!

Lebanese FOOD TOUR of DOWNTOWN BEIRUT - Chicken Batata, Falafel and Croissants | Lebanon

????NICO:
???????? RESTAURANT: [Instagram Handle/Website]
???? MY TRAVEL/FOOD BLOG:

As my time in Beirut continued, I decided to go all out with an unforgettable food tour of the city! Join me as I go on an epic Lebanese street food tour of downtown Beirut, Lebanon!

My friend and Guide Nico and I started at Zaitunay Bay, a seaside area where you can see yachts, high rises, a boardwalk, hotels, and more. Nearby was our first spot, Zaatar w Zeit.

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

It’s one of the most famous restaurants in Lebanon. They sell modern Lebanese food. We’d be getting their Chicken Batata skillet with coriander, parsley, garlic sauce, and lime juice. You eat it with pita bread!

The bread was doughy and slightly crispy, and getting the potatoes, chicken, and tomato together with it was even better. I loved the combination!

The lime juice really elevated it to the next level. It was such a great dish for only $6 USD!

Next, we tried a few Lebanese sweets: Unica wafer, Dabke biscuits with cream, and a cream-filled chocolate called Tarboush. The tarboush was light and the cream inside was fluffy.

The Unica was a crispy, airy chocolatey wafter, and the Dabke was a crispy sandwich cookie with lemon cream in the middle. From there, we walked past condos and a beautiful church through central Beirut.

There was lots of beautiful architecture. Then, we made it to Independence Square, where we saw the Egg Building of Beirut and ruins from the Roman era. There are five columns, which signifies it was a temple.

We also saw the Grand Theatre of Beirut, where lots of musicians used to play. It’s in disrepair now and is in danger of collapse. The architecture reminded me of buildings I’d seen in Turkey!

Then, we drove to a famous fruit cocktail spot, where I could see oranges, pomegranates, and lemons. We tried a drink made of carob, rose water, dates, and rose water. It was so refreshing and had some cashews at the bottom. It only cost $1 USD!

Across the street, we stopped at Croissant Margo, a bakery that makes croissants filled with za’atar. They also make ones filled with cheese and chocolate. The cheese was great!

One minute later, we arrived at Falafel M. Sahyoun, which is nearly 100 years old and is known as one of the best falafel shops. Next door is a shop of the same name that’s owned by the owner’s estranged brother!

These falafel sandwiches contain parsley, white radish, tomatoes, tahini, and a spicy sauce. I loved the hearty falafel and the pita bread. The parsley added some freshness!

The falafel only contained fava beans, as opposed to the usual chickpea/fava bean mixture. They come out golden brown and perfectly crispy without being too oily.

I loved the spicy sauce so much, they added some more for me. It was a great shili sauce and I even had a hot pepper with it! Then, I got a second one to have for dinner later! What a tour!

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - Welcome to Dubai, and tonight we’re going to eat at Amaseena ( which is a wonderful Middle Eastern food buffet in Dubai! Among the many dishes they make, one of their secret specialties is a 1 meter kofta kebab that Chef Tawfeek makes himself!

First, we took a full tour of the buffet with Chef Tawfeek. Originally from Syria, he’s been living in Dubai and cooking his home and family recipes as well as a host of dishes from the Middle East. The mezze cold salads section was impressive with an array of hummus and baba ganoush, and a full array of delicious vegetables and dips.

The hot section was equally as impressive with a rotating menu of different dishes from Moroccan lamb neck to Lebanese fish in tahini. And then you have the full grill station which covers Middle Eastern and Mediterranean bbq - the lamb chops were insanely tasty, but the tastiest of them all was the 1 meter long spicy kofta kebab - a specialty of Syria and Lebanon. What I love so much about kofta kebab is that it’s not just the meat, but it includes so much extra spices and ingredients like pine nuts, parsley and allspice.

We had an amazing Middle Eastern food buffet experience at Amaseena Buffet in Dubai at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.

5 KG. MONSTER SANDWICH - Brazilian Food Tour in Curitiba, Brazil!

CURITIBA, BRAZIL - Curitiba is located in the Paraná state of southern Brazil. It’s a pleasant city, and they known especially for meat. In this video we go on a Brazilian food tour of Curitiba, explore some of the iconic meat dishes of the city, and eat a 5 kilo family sandwich! #Brazil #BrazilianFood #hugefood

Mercearia Fantinato - Carne de onça (Jaguar meat), known as jaguar meat, yet of course not jaguar at all, this steak tartare (raw minced beef) got its name because of the raw meat breath you’ll have after you eat it. It’s mixed table-side, and it’s delicious.
Price - 53.99 BRL ($13.54)

Costelão do Gaúcho - One of the things that Curitiba is known for, and all of southern Brazil, is meat - and especially the beef ribs are among the prized cut. Costelão do Gaúcho is an amazing restaurant that specializes in beef ribs. The owner is a master, treating each rack of ribs with respect and roasting and smoking them with precision. I loved his table saw method of cutting the ribs. The ribs were outstanding, as was the entire meal with all the side salads and dishes.

4 Beans Coffee Co. - We stopped in for a quick coffee, but that turned into a coffee roasting session, which was fantastic.

Lanchonete da Lombada - Here we go, the mega 5 kg. Lombada sandwich. Lombada means speedbump in Portuguese, because it was formerly a street food stall right in front of the speedbump. It was just insane, huge bun, layers of meat, hot dogs, massive quantities of squeeze cheese. It’s not a food challenge, but a very popular local family meal in Curitiba, Brazil. Total price - 50 BRL ($12.45)

Tio Dog (Uncle Dog) - Probably one of the most iconic of all the Brazilian fast food in Curitiba is TIo Dog, specialising in a number of different sandwiches and hot dogs. We got The Philadelphia, a bun filled with hot dogs, a variety of unknown sauces, and little crunchy chip fries. It’s one of those late night impulse foods - not something I’d eat on a daily basis.

Curitiba was fun, and it was a Brazilian food tour of meat!

Eating PIG FISH + HUMMUS with Fishermen in Ancient Tyre! | Amazing Mediterranean Food!

????Ultimate Street Food Tour in Beirut:

????Mark Wiens Banana Chips - Worldwide Shipping Available Now:

TYRE, LEBANON - Tyre is an ancient coastal city of Lebanon, that dates back to 2750 BC as a Phoenician City. It’s a fishing city, and so we set out to go on a fishing experience and eat local fish and hummus with a fisherman. Even though our catch was small, it was a hugely learning experience. #Lebanon #Tyre #fishing

Thank you to USAID - My visit to Lebanon was supported by the USAID Lebanon Enterprise Development Project. Thanks to Ibrahim Osta (Director Middle East & North Africa, Chemonics International):

Mahfouz Sandwich Shop - The day before going fishing, we met up with the fisherman and ate some sandwiches at the legendary Mahfouz sandwich stop. Some people drive all the way from Beirut just to eat these sandwiches. The meat combinations and sweet pepper is what made them so good to me.

Fishing in Tyre - We woke up about 4 am and set off to go fishing. The fishermen had already been out for a while in the night, and they had a small catch. We set off, and cast the nets a few times, but didn’t have much luck. We did catch a few small fish, but nothing much. Captain said it was the slow part of the season, so fishing wasn’t very good.

So we ended up buying a bigger fish from the market, though still local fish from the Mediterranean Sea. We bought a pigfish, which we brought to the bakery to bake.

Baroud Restaurant - As the fish was baking we walked over to Baroud restaurant to order some hummus as Captain said he always eats hummus with fish. We also had to quickly try their ful, which was excellent. I still think the best ful though is in Saida.

After the fish was finished baking, we brought the fish and the hummus to the local fisherman canteen at the port, and feasted. The fish was incredible, so flaky and firm, and I think it was my first time to ever really eat fish and hummus as the main combination of the meal - and it works so well!

A breathtaking experience, and just a slight glimpse into the life of a fisher life in Tyre, Lebanon.

Best Lebanese Restaurant | Sano Bar | Arab Street Singapore | Cinematic 4K Exploring the Best

Thanks #PhotoByAlbin for your collaboration.
Please follow him on his channel:

About Sanobar:
An authentic taste of Lebanon. That's what Sanobar Restaurant promises diners who find themselves supping at their bustling restaurant on Bussorah Street, and boy, do they deliver. From familiar staples like falafel, hummus and baklava, to heartier mains like moussaka and lamb kofta, Sanobar Restaurant uses quality ingredients and traditional cooking methods to deliver one memorable meal.

What's more, given that most dishes are grilled, baked, or sautéed in olive oil, you don't have to worry about overindulging.

Their cosy home in one of Singapore's oldest, and most vibrant, cultural neighbourhoods, makes complete sense given their desire to impress with traditional flavours with a touch of modern flair. The al fresco area is perfect for people-spotting, and paves the way for a picturesque meal given the backdrop of one of Singapore's most ornate religious structures, the Sultan Mosque.
Address: 20 Baghdad St, Singapore 199659
