Feluka: Seafood and Wine by the Sea in Beirut

Feluka is the seafood restaurant at Sporting Club Beach — a wine bar and dining room on the rocky Ras Beirut shore, where the menu is Mediterranean, the fish is fresh, and lunch is allowed to take as long as it wants.

It is named after the feluka, the small lateen-sailed boat that has worked this coast for centuries. The name is the brief: simple, of the sea, unhurried.

The food

The kitchen does Mediterranean seafood — grilled and fried fish, the mezze that belongs beside it, and the cold things you want when the sun is high. The Sultan Ibrahim (red mullet) and the seasonal catch are the things regulars order without reading the menu. It is paired with a Lebanese wine list — the country's wine has earned its place at a seafood table, and Feluka leans into it rather than reaching for imports.

This is not a tasting-menu restaurant. It is a place to sit by the water and eat well over a few hours. Guests have long noted the freshness of the fish and the service on the club's reviews — the kind of food that is good because the people running it are present, not because it is engineered to photograph.

The setting

Feluka sits on the terrace above the sea, part of the same shoreline the club has held since 1953. You eat with the Mediterranean in front of you and the Pigeon Rocks within view. In summer the long lunch runs into the afternoon; in the evening the light over the water does the decorating.

Because it is part of Sporting Club Beach, Feluka shares the club's register: no bright lights and grand designs, just the sea and a good plate of fish. For a fuller seated occasion — a dinner, a small celebration — Feluka also works alongside The Loft for events.
