Family dining in Beirut: one menu that actually splits the table

The hardest part of a family dinner in Beirut is not the bill. It’s the vote. Burgers or grill? Pasta or pizza? Something the kids will touch?

La Tavola was built around that argument, so the menu answers it directly.

For the parents: grills and plates with real portions

Grilled chicken (200 g, with grilled potato and salad), half farouj with fries and garlic, BBQ chicken with rice, steak with mushroom sauce, pollo al funghi, special cordon bleu, roast beef with mashed potato, fish and chips. Or a pasta — the fettuccine chicken is the house favourite.

For the teenagers: burgers and sandwiches

Twelve burgers, from the $7 chicken burger to the truffle beef and the dynamite zinger. The Philadelphia steak sandwich and the crispy wrap are what the LIU students order.

For the kids: an actual kids menu

Chicken pops, kids burger meal and chicken strips, $6–$10, portion-sized for small hands. Chairs that fit, staff who have seen it all.

For the table: things to share

The La Tavola combo (wings, strips, onion rings, mozzarella sticks, wedges — $20) or the mini version ($14). A pepperoni pizza in the middle never survives long.

For everyone: dessert

The fettuccine crepe — crepe cut into ribbons with sauce — is the dish people order “to try” and then fight over. Sushi crepe, Lotus crepe and the chocolate fondant are the runners-up.

What it costs

A family of four, with a combo, two mains, a pizza and a dessert, usually lands between $55 and $70. Weeknights are quieter; Sunday lunch is the full Beirut experience.
