Butler’s Table

Butler’s table Mediterranean restaurant, conceived by Carl Gerges Architects, pays tribute to the sun on one of the world’s most beloved coasts.

Overlooking Batroun’s historic waterfront, the restaurant is imbued in warm tints and yellow accents that simulate natural sunlight. Light white tablecloths give off a classic Brasserie feel. Elegant irocco wood dominates the space from floor to ceiling, blending seamlessly with the terrace’s paneling.

The bold yellow bar takes center stage: its fractal design is an interpretation of solar rays, while its soft brightness alludes to golden hour. Handmade with a mix of sand and epoxy, by Lebanese artist Nelsy Massoud, it is echoed across the space through glass-blown custom wall appliques, and an oversized hand-crafted chandelier – all executed by local artisans – bathing the interior in warm lighting.
With a menu by award-winning chef Youssef Akiki, guests can feast on decadent Levantine meals, and sip intricate cocktails created by Beirut’s “Butler’s Bar”, whilst soaking in the sunny tableau.

The restaurant, developed by Jamil Saab & Co, extends into an outdoor terrace; creating an all-around shaded space during summer that invites a fresh breeze past sunset. Embracing the hotel’s hedonistic slow-living approach, the restaurant is the epitome of tasteful Lebanese exuberance: a place where culture and luxury meet, under the sun’s complete cycle, am to pm.
