Jammal Restaurant

Story

It all started over a hundred years ago. In the south of the old town of Batroun,
Jammal’s great grandfather decided to build his tobacco factory
in a peaceful cove shaded with palm trees.

In the early 1930’s, the factory was converted to the now Jammal family house. Right
here, three generation were born and raised to the sound of the waves
and the taste of sea urchins.

Being abroad for a while, Joe Jammal flew back home in 1981. As “bon vivant” himself,
one day Joe put a table in the water for a fish BBQ and invited family and friends.
Later this year, on June 19th, waiters, cooks, bartenders, DJs, fish, salads and mezze
rocked the first beach party at Jammal. A star was born.
1990’s arrived and Summer after summer, the ideas came and evolved.

The restaurant began to serve a selective choice of specialty mezzes with a main
focus on buying and using only the best quality of Lebanese fish and seafood from
the local fisheries. The menu was refined and redefined, with the help of chefs and the
experience of Nicholas Jammal, Joe’s younger brother.

Joe’s dream finally came true. A restaurant where you can come by boat and get
ferried to shore where you sit with your feet in the waters and enjoy the day sipping
on the finest wines.

Today, we invite you to sit back under our palm trees and enjoy like many did. Come
in early morning for a homemade breakfast, for lunch on the Mediterranean, or a cozy
dinner at beautiful sunset and hot summer nights.

Enjoy the taste our homegrown vegetables and olive oil, discover the best of wild caught fish and seafood from the Lebanese sea, try our seasonal specialties and, tasty cocktails, enjoy great wine, smiles and warm welcome for everyone at Jammal.
