Tramway Beirut: Fresh, Quick and Healthy

More about: TramwayTramway is a place you can not miss if you’re around the ABC Mall Achrafieh. This professional and colorful design facing Bank of Beirut is something interesting to check out. Right next to Malak el Taouk, Tramway is an address I discovered lately and do recommend you try. A one door shop and a long bar is all you see from the outside, but the minute you walk in, be ready to taste and indulge in their unique sandwich creations…

A couple of months ago, I accidentally stumbled upon Tramways’s website to discover a professional webpage filled with mouthwatering images describing the concept inside out. I thought since I was in the neighborhood today, it was time I go in and see what’s it all about.The restaurant in divided into two levels where the seating area and the long fridge are hosted. A nice colorful fridge designed into three tramway wagons with their wheels and numbers. Light blue and red, two colors constitute an identity I liked.The place in couple of lines:If only most restaurants in town can implement this machine in-house and make tasty bread on the spot…
The menu choices:

Trams from around the World
Trams Green Zone
Trams Teasers
Pizza Stop
TramsHot and Cool
Trams Delights

We Ordered:

Mexico Chicken Quesadilla (Grilled marinated chicken breast, cheddar cheese, sautéed onion and pepper mix served with guacamole sauce) 7,000L.L

Philadelphia Cheese Steak (Grilled marinated beef filet, Swiss cheese, sautéed onion, fresh mushroom, pepper mix and sweet corn served with mayo sauce) 8,000L.L

St. Tropez Shrimp (Shrimp, romaine lettuce, green onion, diced tomato, pepper mix, fresh coriander and avocado paste served with cocktail sauce) 8,000L.L

We ordered three sandwiches with fries and sat down to dissect each one. Like a Lebanese version of Subway, Tramway offers a large choice of sandwiches in their unique 45sec baguettes filled with rich ingredients and fresh vegetables. Choose, order, pay and two minutes after, be prepared for a quick yet deliciously fulfilling lunch that’s light on the stomach at the same time.I enjoyed it to the maximum… A decent Sandwicheria in the heart of Achrafieh:

Delicious bread
Tender and soft
Light on the stomach
Well filled and generous portions
Creative and tasty mixes
Soft non-chewy chicken and meat
Affordable

We decided to go for the meal option for 10,000L.L, including fries and coke. Not only are the sandwiches at Tramway exquisite but their fries are exceptional as well. Crunchy hot and fresh, their fries reminded me of the ones we have at Burger King, they are that good.I would change:

Ice please, with the soft drinks
A soft drink draft machine will be better enjoyed and will surely boost up the concept
I don’t see the place for the electric blue Espresso machine – too strong of a color in here. Reconsider this piece

For a quick, affordable and tasty bite in Beirut, Tramway is a place to visit. I enjoyed the simplicity behind every bite.
