It was built in 2009 by arcenciel, a Lebanese NGO, next to the eco lodge it opened in the same village three years earlier. The name refers to the khan, the caravanserai where travellers and traders once stopped to rest along the region&#x27;s roads. The restaurant has large gardens and is set up for long country lunches and group gatherings, which suits families and groups visiting the Bekaa. The kitchen focuses on rustic regional dishes, with slow-cooked roast mutton among the best known. It is pet friendly, and guests staying at the eco lodge can eat here without leaving the property.<\/p>\n<h2>Brand Information<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Brand Name<\/th>\n<td>Al Khan al Makssoud<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Based In<\/th>\n<td>Taaneyel, Bekaa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Founded<\/th>\n<td>2009<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Products<\/th>\n<td>Traditional Bekaa dishes, slow-cooked roast mutton, country lunches, group gatherings<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Where to Buy<\/th>\n<td>Restaurant in Taaneyel, beside Ecolodge Taaneyel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Instagram<\/th>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alkhanalmakssoud.restaurant\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">instagram.com\/alkhanalmakssoud.restaurant<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Description<\/th>\n<td>Garden restaurant in Taaneyel run by the NGO arcenciel, serving rustic Bekaa dishes next to its eco lodge.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Al Khan al Makssoud at a glance<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Built in 2009 by the NGO arcenciel<\/li>\n<li>Next to Ecolodge Taaneyel in the Bekaa<\/li>\n<li>Known for slow-cooked roast mutton<\/li>\n<li>Large gardens suited to group lunches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Who runs Al Khan al Makssoud?<\/h3>\n<p>It was built by arcenciel, a Lebanese NGO, beside its eco lodge in Taaneyel.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the restaurant known for?<\/h3>\n<p>Rustic Bekaa dishes, especially slow-cooked roast mutton.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I bring my dog?<\/h3>\n<p>The restaurant is listed as pet friendly.<\/p>\n<h2>Sources and further reading<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"sources\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bam.agendaculturel.com\/explore\/lebanese-restaurants\/al-khan-al-makssoud\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Al Khan al Makssoud (BAM by Agenda Culturel)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bam.agendaculturel.com\/explore\/guesthouses\/ecolodge-taaneyel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ecolodge Taaneyel (BAM by Agenda Culturel)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Garden restaurant in Taaneyel run by the NGO arcenciel, serving rustic Bekaa dishes next to its eco lodge.
