Tonino's Crepes!

As I walk along Bliss Street and across from a 200 year old wall surrounding the AUB campus, I pass many great food booths, but none so wonderful as Tonino's, a crepe stand. 

In any other part of the world crepe would sound like crape, ryhming with grape.  But in Lebanon it's pronounced crep, rhyming with step.  It's very important that as you read this post say crepe proper accent. CREP. 

My favorite crepe is the white chocolate Nutella with strawberries, but you can get almost anything on them. You can mix and match the entire list of ingredients, including Nutella, Kinder, Hershey's chocolate, butter, sugar, strawberries, bananas, nuts, cookies and cream, peanut butter, etc.

The White Chocolate and Strawberry Crepe=My Favorite

Tonino's is owned by Kareem, who was born in Canada and lived there until he was 17 and his father, who is Lebanese, decided to move the family back to Lebanon.

Tonino's has served crepes forby AUB for 12 years, and is an essential part of an authentic Hamra, Beruit experience.  I highly recommend it for whenever you're in Beirut.
