Beiruti Grand Cafe does have a lot of potential.
The interior is just so spacious but it just feels like something is missing. The decoration is like work in progress and they had been open for months?!
The dessert looks wonderful but just lack labeling. For new customers like myself, I don't really know the name and ingredients of those beautiful pastries/cakes in the display case. That chocolate thing looks good? That is like a mango mousse because it is yellow? The green most be pistachio?!
We ordered Marraskesh Mint Tea ($2.50), Macchiato ($2.75) and Pistachio Mousse ($6) which were delivered to our table after we paid at the cash.
The Pistachio Something was really delicious! Nutty and has a layer of cherry jello filling and topped with some cherries.
The tables and chairs here are really "plasticky" and IKEAish which I won't associate that with a "Grand" Cafe. Maybe the nicer ones are still on back orders?! They did spend quite a bit on the faucets in the washrooms as they are Dyson Airblade Tap with a price tag of close to $2000 each!! http://www.dyson.com/hand-dryers/airblade-tap.aspx
Beiruti Grand Cafe is worth coming back again for their dessert and some quiet time with friends. I probably will be back.
