SNEAK PEEK INTO THE REVAMPED RITAGE GARDEN WITH CHEF MAROUN CHEDID

Garden’s outdoor space is ideal for winter dining. Its cutting-edge retractable roof makes it a year-round destination for those who enjoy great food.

How important is it for a restaurant to reinvent and redefine itself from time to time?

An urban sanctuary, Ritage Garden is an all-day dining concept located in the heart of Beirut. We caught up with chef Maroun Chedid, Ritage’s owner, to learn more about his popular oasis and some of its special features.

Why did you decide to refurbish Ritage Garden?

Ritage Garden underwent renovations in order to better reflect its new image: a whimsical ambience and a carefully curated menu that boasts playful dishes celebrating world food while paying homage to our deeply rooted Mediterranean culture. Ritage

One of the most effective ways to alter the long-term performance trajectory of a restaurant is to elevate the idea. That is what we tried to do with our restaurant, by stimulating the senses with an elegant but inviting atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a delicious meal, a satisfying beverage or a cup of coffee while soaking up the Mediterranean spirit and feeling at home.

What are your future plans?

We have set major goals for 2023. We are looking forward to opening Ritage Garden and Maison Georgette in Accor’s luxury and premium hotels throughout the IMEA region. Moreover, this partnership will consolidate the expansion of our presence in the region, celebrating our core pillars across borders: terroir, authenticity, inventiveness and artistry. marounchedid.com
