Baalbek Celebrates Birthday

Baalbek Bar and Grill celebrated its third anniversary with a three-day fiesta recently.

The restaurant began as the Habibi Bar (“I love you” in Arabic). The breathtaking view and the environment gained lots of fans, which inspired the staff to open the area onto a balcony.

Now the restaurant is opening “La Kava del Profeta,” and soon five small huts will be ready for those who after a night of celebrating would like to stay.

For more info, call 222-2126 or fax: 258-3075. Baalbek is in Los Angeles de San Rafael de Heredia, north of San José.
