Cafe Matik Sucks
I am at the airport now waiting for my pane back to Kuwait. I just had lunch at Cafe Matik which I think is probably the most boring airport cafe in the world. Its always been this bad at the Beirut airport, for as long as I can remember there has always been a monopoly when it came to food at the airport here. The old restaurant at the old Kuwait airport is like 100 times better than this one. Anyway I am just sitting here watching people going by wishing there was a McDonalds for me to pig out at.

Aw C’mon man I like Cafe Matik….Beirut Airport may be boring but at least it’s always calm and soothing…The Kuwait airport is always overcrowded and loud…
I thought you were in Turkey or something. Well, be thankful, at least nobody bombed the place.
Good luck
Isn’t there a place called Salt upstairs at the airport?
Oww plz that cafe is crap.. Mark is right its really bad n the atmospere is just cold..
I thought you hate Mcdonald’s in Lebanon…
Also, who sits in a cafe at Beirut airport…You go and get stuff from Hallab and Goodies…thats where you get the Lebanese authentic taste! Best of all, you get them travel packed and take them onboard, so you do not have to pay extra weight.
Hmmm, now I am in the mood for Baklava!
mark just wants to be covered with shawerma every where he goes so how about we shift our shawerma stand there plus it will be in your home town ya3ni you will be a true im3alim
yeaaah man its boring , the only thing that you can do is going to virgin next to it , and also i hate the airport cuz am leaving Beirut
ahhhhh yaaa beirut

ciao
oh please give them a brake. they’re still working on that section of the airport so what do you expect the atmosphere to be!?
They are not working on anything. Its been like that forever. And lets say the airport was still under construction, so what?
the only thing that cafe is good for is to have a smoke
[the ashtrays are pieces of tin]
all else is rubbish,,,
Mark, you are being kind
ps. a better cafe is on 1st floor, opposite immigration
[...] made it very clear a number of times before that I think Café Matik at the Beirut Airport sucks and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one [...]
Don’t ever eat there! At first I wasn’t aware that I had food poisoning from eating there the first time In July 2011. I was also pregnant and the diarrhea lasted for over 2 weeks and I ended up miscarrying. Yesterday, august 5, 2011, my husband and I ate there again and I hadn’t eaten anything before the flight except from cafe matik and half way thru the flight I felt nauseated and bloated and I couldn’t eat anything all evening yesterday not even the food they offered during the flight. I kept burping and tasting what I ate from that cafe. It was gross! Today, both my husband and I woke up with watery stool. I really hope they close down this shop. It’s really dangerous to keep it running especially that people eat there then travel and can’t go back to report getting sick from there or even realize that they actually got sick from eating there. A lot of people usually think they got sick from eating food on the plane but am 100% sure I got food poisoned from cafe matik cause I did not eat anything before or after eating there
