Café · Pilates · Atelier in Achrafieh, Beirut

Some moments still taste like before.

An old Beirut house with a garden, where coffee, Pilates and the atelier share the same roof.

On se voit à L'Autrefois

An old house, a quiet garden, a slower kind of morning.

Tucked away in Sassine, Achrafieh, L'Autrefois is a café in a Beirut house that kept its shutters, its stone and its stories. Come for a coffee under the trees, stay for brunch by the fountain, move in the Pilates studio, or paint something of your own in the atelier.

Under the same old roof

Some come for coffee, some to move, some to create.

Le Jardin

A quiet garden in the middle of Achrafieh.

Some afternoons are meant to linger.

A fountain, a swing, old trees and green iron chairs. Bring a book, your laptop or a friend you haven't seen in a while. For birthdays and celebrations, the long table is yours.
