I went to é Café at Eddé Yard Jbeil upon the recommendation of a friend back in March for the first time, and have fallen in love with their food ever since!
Passing by the old souk of Jbeil, there’s no way you can miss é Café and the barbecue placed outside their kitchen. The place consists of a beautiful outdoor area and a cozy interior space, offering 2 small french and italian menus, in a very nice ambiance. However, you wont need to check on their items because you will know what to order the minute you start watching the chef grilling mouth watering pieces of entrecote!
The entrecote will be grilled to your taste (I recommend medium well) right in front of you. Once done, the chef will place it on a bed of grilled onions and potatoes, accompanied with a sauce containing butter and some other things but tastes good anyway, and a bowl or rocca salad with balsamic vinegar, all tasting very good!
When done, your experience will seriously be incomplete if you don’t order their Gauffre au chocolat! Ignore any other topping mentioned in the menu, and go straight for the dark chocolate, it just tastes like heaven!
The staff at é Café is very friendly, and it’s impressive that their service was very timely each time I went there. If you plan to visit the place, then I recommend you go there on a Saturday night during summertime as the old souk is now packed with outdoor pubs and bars, and gets crowded with people on Saturdays creating a nice atmosphere.
I have plans to go there for the Byblos Music Festival..thanks for the recommendation, can’t wait to try it myself..might be ordering something different from steak though, I’m not really a red meat lover..did they have fish? But the desert..yumm..really does look like a little slice of heaven!
@Danielle
Im not sure about fish, but they have an Italian menu, so you can still enjoy some good food even if you’re not a red meat fan.
I tried Caffe Edde based on a recommendation of a friend, and I am so glad I did. The best steak experience ever! As you say, the outdoor setup is great, and how they grill the steak right in front of you is simply amazing. I just wish that Jbeil wasn’t that far, but it is an experience well worth the long ride!
Very good pictures.
Thanks.
