Abu Melhem Café, where authenticity meets simplicity, and where the peaceful serenity of the mountains and the bustling colorful life of the Old Souk collide in perfect harmony…
Nestled in the heart of the Old Midan Souk, Abu Melhem, just like the splendid town of Hammana, stood the test of time, maintaining its traditional cachet and embracing the modern and trendy vibe of Lebanese summers.
Our boutique café has been in our family for over 8 decades, first as a traditional pastry shop opened by our grandfather in the 1950s. It was then passed on to our father, nicknamed “Abu Melhem”, who converted it into a bodega in the late 1970s.
Waiting you to try our amazing Kaak!
Which kaake is your favorite?
When the Old Souk of Hammana was revived and recovered its old charm and glory, it was only natural for Abu Melhem to see its rebirth, with a new and simple concept: exquisite traditional savory and sweet “Kaak”, fruity and dreamy “Arguile”, and a selection of drinks to suit your every mood. It goes without saying that our colorful “Khayzaran” chairs and authentic setting marry perfectly the enchanting ambiance of the surrounding Old Souk, and irresistibly lend themselves to a good old backgammon match among friends.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
