I recently discovered Le Pecheur, a nice and humble Lebanese seafood, located on the seaside of Ain Mreiseh. I liked it and know that I will be coming back again when I am in the mood for good and affordable seafood dinner in the heart of the capital. Just a few meters before La Plage, facing Hotel Le Vendome, this restaurant has something special.

- Hummus and Mtabbal (Baba ghannouj)
- Tabbouleh
- Rocket salad with pomegranate
- Bizri fish: Well seasoned, smooth and tasty and served in a toasted bread bowl
- French fries: Crunchy and hot
- Fried plate: Calamari, Spring rolls, Fish sticks, Shrimps). Those looked too oily like fried a second time
- Hendbe
- Crab salad: The usual synthetic crab sticks
- Batata harra, served in a closed container to maintain its strong garlic flavours and temperature
- Fried fish (mallifa, sultan brahim): These are tasty
- Grilled fish (Grouper) didn't impress me: It definitely needs more seasoning
- Sohat glass water bottle
- A super professional welcoming like none. Bravo!
- I enjoyed the seasoning of the fried bread offered with the fried fish. It is covered with salt and sumac making them really worth eating
- Every table has one waiter who stands waiting to serve your every demand
- Main plates are served on a wooden platter to stand out from the others
- Markouk bread should be offered
- Trying to impress guests by over decorating the plates makes them look complicated for nothing. I prefer simplicity
- Some of the preparations don't look too fresh
- The food is good but not great: But for only $35, tonight's dinner was better than I had expected
Many improvements must be made to elevate the level of this restaurant, but if this means that their prices will increase, then it's better to leave it the way it is. At least Le Pecheur stands out among restaurants in the same medium category.
