Amore Mio is one of the more pretentious cafés in Beirut. Located in the trendy Verdun shopping area, at the entrance to a building housing numerous boutique stores, Amore Mio is lively, garish and always full with people-watchers on the outdoor terrace. Specializing in iced coffees, teas and a range of food – including a sushi bar on its second floor – Amore Mio caters to the local neighbourhood crowd of wealthy luxury apartment residents and high-end shoppers who fancy lunch or a quick drink.
