Vegan restaurant with a warm set up, sweet staff and beautiful ambiance. I liked the intimacy you get in the place in the midst of Beirut, good food, okay pricing and lovely atmosphere.

Oh, a VEGAN restaurant!
A lovely, homey location with a welcoming staff and warm atmosphere. The food is delicious, with a wide variety of dishes served all day.
You can truly enjoy the Lebanese flavors across the menu, from breakfast items, appetizers, sandwiches, and lahme b’ajine, to vegan pasta, Indian dishes, and burgers. Come to Orenda and you’ll definitely find something you love, any time of day.
I’ve also tried their Saj Brunch, which was wonderful — great vibes, a cheerful crowd, and an abundant open buffet. They also host musical evenings, which I haven’t experienced yet but surely will soon!
If you care about good food, animal welfare, and our planet, Orenda is a place worth supporting.
Your small gesture (“grain de sable”) truly makes a difference.

An absolutely beautiful terrace offering a peaceful vibe in the midst of the hubbub of Mar Mikhail. The staff are lovely and really treat the customers with care, and the food and drink are top quality. Try the matcha latte with coconut milk; you won’t be sorry!

As a vegetarian who was once vegan, Orenda has a long shot to go in terms of taste and flavours. Prices are also kinda high, given that they use soy meat in most of their meat dishes, which is relatively very cheap on the market. For 3 regular dishes and two drinks that barely had any alcohol, we ended up paying 60 USD! The in-house burger and the lentil dip with nachos (with soy meat I suppose) were average. The veggie spring rolls on the other hand were okay, nothing exceptional. My great friend maïa liked them I should confess. That said, you must definitely learn some recipes from the “Vegan Social Hub”. Which I would highly recommend for people wanting to do the vegan/vegetarian switch.
Best regards.

Such a cozy space and pet friendly where you can bring your dogs along. The entrance is from the main street so you dont get lost as shown in one of the photos. The ambience is nice though the outdoor space is limited with 3-4 tables as they have an indoor space too. Its a calm peaceful place for a chitchat with friends. Enjoy your beer and drinks along with some bites or even food. Also considered as light place for finishing your job on your laptop or whatever business.

One of the places that I’d call a hidden gem.
The staff are absolutely wonderful, friendly, and very welcoming. The food is great, and the coffee is okay.
Best part about this place: you can come in and spend the day with your laptop, grab your coffee, a great meal, and finish it with a drink!
The music is really nice as well, perfect for work or chatting with friends.
I definitely recommend this place!

Orenda has definitely earned its title of « Beirut’s hidden gem » . It has become the equivalent of home for me in lebanon. Everything about this place is beyond adorable. The owners are insanely welcoming , the staff is amazing , the food is excellent (for someone who is not even vegan) I haven’t missed a dish on the menu and I am always spoiled for choice, even their drinks are out of this world. But more importantly than all of this , it’s the feel of the place, the details that you see in every single corner, the beautifully designed garden, the energy you get the second you step in and the overall atmosphere. You can’t beat that even if you try and it doesn’t hurt that it’s dog friendly ans has the cutest items to buy form the concept store. Orenda definitely lives up to all its reviews, can’t recommend it enough. It has been my happy place back in lebanon since its opening.

Beautiful hidden spot in Mar Michael street, it’s a place where you can have a nice cup of coffee and have delicious vegan food. They also have excellent cocktails, i recommend trying the sangria . You’ll definitely notice the cool design of this place as it shows great artistic work in it. Also check out the shop inside where you can find lots of cool vegan-type products.
Highly recommended

Went with my family. It was WOW! Seriously, the chef is extremely talented. Never tasted so many flavours, working together. Nothing compares. Even non vegans would fall in love with Orenda.
Mallow in London was my favourite restaurant anywhere, but now that’s at No.2. The restaurant is quaint with beautiful decoration and the service was perfect. This restaurant is why I love vegan restaurants, theyre attentive to detail.
Pros: The best food worldwide, The best deco worldwide, The best service worldwide
Cons: That I don’t live in Lebanon
