HORECA Lebanon Returns This November, Bringing Hospitality Businesses Together

HORECA Lebanon is scheduled to take place from November 10 to 13, 2026, at Seaside Arena in Beirut, bringing together professionals from the hospitality, foodservice and beverage industries.

Organised by Hospitality Services, the exhibition provides a setting for businesses to meet suppliers, discover products and discuss the practical challenges of running hotels, restaurants and foodservice operations.

Founded in 1994, HORECA Lebanon brings together chefs, restaurateurs, producers, distributors, mixologists and industry experts. Its programme includes expert-led sessions alongside products and business solutions, according to the organisers.

Behind the exhibition stands is a straightforward business question: what will help hospitality companies attract customers, control costs and improve their service?

For a restaurant owner, that could mean finding a supplier or comparing equipment. For a food producer, it could mean making contact with a distributor or potential buyer. These conversations give a trade exhibition its value beyond the displays.

This year’s event also has an international business dimension. An October circular published by Lebanon’s embassy in Italy identifies it as HORECA’s 30th edition and encourages participation by Lebanese expatriates and buyers interested in Lebanese food products. The circular outlines support measures and offers intended to facilitate participation.

The exhibition therefore offers a useful story to follow beyond opening day: which connections develop into orders, partnerships or new opportunities for Lebanese producers?

HORECA is primarily a professional trade event. Those planning to attend should check registration requirements and the latest programme through the official website.

For readers, the interest lies in the people and businesses behind Lebanon’s hospitality offering—and how they are preparing for their next chapter.
