Weekends are all about going out with family and friends, exploring Lebanon, and above all discovering New Places. If you can have it all together and add up enjoying a picnic experience than I'd say jackpot!
I've heard about جلسة Liza, but you know hearing is not as seeing!
I have to say, the place is well situated with a great view and atmosphere. It's hard not to fall in love with it! The serenity, the beautiful traditional Lebanese songs playing around, forcing you to throw in some of your own dancing and singing talents. Last but not least, it's clean and well maintained, with a friendly service.
Entrance fees is $5 / person (you bring in all what you want including your own plastic cutlery)
or 10,000 / person and you have access to the place full set including plates and cups!
Both options you are provided with Coal and BBQ grill.
Since we had our own food we didn't get to taste the place delicious treats but the aroma and expression on the people who did said it all!
Another very important note especially for parents, is the bathrooms: and they were very clean!

Kid's playground was my only concern. In my PERSONAL opinion and based on my experience ( in comparison with other similar outdoor venues I've been too), this place was very basic and a bit dangerous!
There's no fence and children can easily fall over the small hill. Also, the playground is located on the last up hill whereas we were sitting 3 hills down! We could see them but we decided it was too risky to leave them unsupervised!
Nevertheless, the kids had a wonderful outdoor experience, the well bonded with nature, came up with their own game, played ball, and we all burnt lots of calories going up and down :)

Let the pictures portray the beauty of this place!
We really enjoyed and recommend this authentic Lebanese Resto/Cafe. So next time you want to escape the unbearable city heat and traffic head over to Jalseit Liza and enjoy a full day in this breathtakingly beautiful scenery!
