Ashrafieh-Keif Restaurant

Ashrafieh, an area in the heart of Beirut, is where sophistication and class meet tradition and history. This prime location adored by locals and tourists alike is also the location of Keif’s first restaurant.

•° Keif’s history started in 2004 when the search for prime real estate in Ashrafieh led them to a charming old house on Saydeh Street not far from the bustling Sassine Square. The owner of the real estate eyed by Keif happened to be a happy, mature man who was ready to let his property become someone else’s dream. As with the circle of life, this elderly owner was pleased to handover the property to young dreamers who would transform the property into a landmark and a chic Lebanese restaurant showcasing the country’s finest cuisine. Committed to maintaining the enchanting allure of the modern Lebanese interior, Keif skillfully refurbished it into an inviting eatery that still conveyed its history and charm. In addition, Keif features a tranquil outdoors terrace for clients who want a more relaxed setting and fresh air.

•° Demonstrating the circle of life, the old house successfully became anew as a restaurant that brought circles of friends, families, and colleagues together. The circle notion that kept reappearing all around Keif naturally became its concept.

•° The Ashrafieh branch became an instant hit among the Lebanese and visitors to the nation. From mouth-watering dishes featuring classic Lebanese favorites to aromatic shisha, Keif in Ashrafieh has become a hotspot where circles mix and mingle.
