The Terrace
One of Beirut's most beautiful open-air terraces, shaded by olive trees and the signature scalloped awning.
An eccentric ambiance in the heart of Beirut
Everything at Léo
Our story, the four worlds under one awning, signature dishes, the all-day menu, the room itself — and how to find us in the heart of Downtown Beirut.
About us
An all-day terrace, in the heart of Beirut.
Founded in 2023, Léo La Terrasse was created to bring a new art of French living to Beirut — a festive yet timeless restaurant and café where mornings drift into long, golden evenings.
Set along a leafy boulevard and wrapped in greenery, it was imagined as the city's living room: a melting pot for friends, family brunches, business meetings and easy days in the sun.
What makes Léo unique is the way it brings four worlds together under one emerald awning.

Our concept
French living, Beirut sunlight
The Cuisine
A French brasserie menu threaded with Lebanese flavour — from morning pastries and brunch to fresh seafood, prime cuts and signature sharing plates.
Atmosphere & Design
Indoor and outdoor living under a green awning: olive trees, Liberty-style florals, marble tabletops and warm brass light.
Who it's for
Beirut's families, professionals and friends — and travellers looking for the city at its most relaxed and elegant.
The Experience
Come for coffee, stay for sunset. Léo moves gracefully from breakfast to brunch to long, candlelit evenings.

Décor & Location
the backlit bar
The Décor
Step inside and the room reads like an editorial spread: a sculpted bar with fluted black joinery and a warm onyx top, arched shelving lit in amber, hand-painted floral murals. Teal velvet stools, olive-toned rope chairs and terracotta banquettes layer texture against stone and brass — olive trees rising through the terrace, blurring the line between garden and salon.
The Location
Léo La Terrasse sits in Downtown Beirut, along one of the city's green, tree-lined boulevards — set back behind manicured hedges, open to the sky yet sheltered by its emerald awnings. Easy to reach and impossible to miss: a calm, leafy pocket of the city that feels a world away from the traffic just beyond the garden.
