There are only a few places to eat and drink at Beirut Rafic Hariri Intl. A restaurant and café can be found before Security, and just a couple of cafés after Customs. Salt, the only restaurant in the Departures area has good reviews. Serving sushi in a classy setting with excellent views of the Mount Lebanon foothills and the airport runway, it can be found on the third floor.
