More about: ButtermintAfter spotting a quick image of Buttermint on Instagram, I was enticed. The image was so clear, so appetizing and full of colors. I was intrigued to discover it further. Little did I know that Buttermint has been around for some time now, but better late than never, I had only discovered this stand alone Kitchen – Cafe in Hamra today.- Breakfast & Brunch

- Goat Cheese Bruschetta: toasted multiple cereal bread topped with avocado, grilled tomatoes, rocket leaves, goat cheese chunks and balsamic reduction sauce.
- Mozzarella sticks: Breaded fried mozzarella served with cocktail sauce.
- Buttermint Duo Burger: Burger bun spread with our home-made chilli sauce, chopped grilled chicken and beef with lettuce, and jalapeño served with French fries.
- Wild Mushroom Pasta: Tagliatelle dressed with white sauce, mushrooms and Parmesan cheese.
- The mozzarella sticks are too oily and the bread crust is too thick. It’s too chewy – Not my favorite order to say the least.
- The Bruschetta is just perfect: A success. A warm piece of French toasted brown bread covered with thin smooth avocado slices, tender tomatoes seasoned with pieces of black pepper, all covered with rocket leaves and decorated with a smooth balsamic dressing. On the sides are chunks of goat cheese that add all the needed flavor to the mix. A delicatessen simple dish suitable for the speakers of light enjoyable sensations without any sophistication. Bravo!
- The Burger – a speciality you surely have not tasted elsewhere before – it can be resembled to a Philadelphia steak sandwich – chopped pieces of meat and chicken the fajita style, a thin leaf of fresh lettuce, cocktail sauce all layered on a bed of jalapeños inside a tender soft bun. Every bite is a blend of of many ingredients from the minimal amount of bread, tender chicken, soft meat, exact sauce needed and a crunch of jalapeños to ignite the heat… Yummy! A really enjoyable plate accompanied with homemade fries the way my grandma used to make them.
- The Wild Mushroom Pasta was no that good: Although the plate is clean and beautifully presented with its tasty tender chicken strips, fresh mushrooms, and adequate cooking time, but the mix was a bit too creamy and heavy. This dish required a lot more salt.
- Oreo Blast: A layer of crunchy Oreo biscuit topped with cookie ice cream
- Snickers Delight: Chocolate and snickers ice cream topped with whipped cream, caramel sauce, chocolate sauce and peanuts spread
I preferred the Oreo Blast that is less creamy and feels lighter than the Snickers Mountain. Both are nice to try.
Three hours passed in an instant, it was a very pleasant and enjoyable lunch in a place where there’s no stress… A very pleasant atmosphere where good food, nice music, gentle waiters are a few of the things that you need to spend some good time in the heart of Beirut city: See you at Buttermint.
