The Rest House is Saida’s most popular restaurant for visitors to the area—and for good reason. The actual restaurant is located in a beautiful old stone house, typical of the area, but it is the outdoor sea-side garden, overlooking the Crusader Castle that makes the Rest House special. You can enjoy your lunch right on the waterfront with an unparalleled view of the castle before you and the lapping waves beside you. The food is typical Lebanese mezze style and reasonably priced, especially given its prime location.
