People at Aïshti

On the fourth floor of Lebanon’s best-known super-glam clothing store, People is as trendy and upmarket as you would expect. Once in the restaurant, you reach by meandering through the thicket of designer handbags, enjoy warm wooden tones, acres of white sofas and views across Downtown’s rooftops. Not to mention, of course, the pitch-perfect French bistro menu, full of lovely things like asparagus gazpacho with crab, baked grouper with pesto and lime risotto, and the banana tart.
