Le montagnou

Le Montagnou is a fondue restaurant, an alpine ski resort and a trendy pool club all rolled into one. Located in the mountains of Kfardebiane, the place is only a 45-minute drive from Beirut, offering the perfect escape from the city. During the winter, the restaurant is akin to a Swiss chalet where Fondue and Raclette are served in addition to a selection of international dishes and an extensive wine list. Stop by for lunch after a day of skiing on the nearby Faraya slopes or head there for a romantic date with your significant other. Whatever your reason for visiting Le Montagnou, you wont be disappointed. During the summer, the restaurant turns into a trendy pool club where the “in” crowd can be seen swimming (ok, tanning) in the exceptional infinity pool offering breathtaking views. The nearby poolbar, set within a charming garden, is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a sunset drink while resident DJs spin the latest tunes. If you just can’t bring yourself to return to Beirut, the nine comfortable rooms at Gio are available for you to sleep-off any or all excesses you may have justly indulged in at the heavenly Montagnou.
