Gustav is a sweet local success story. In 2010, we opened our doors in Beirut and quickly became a haven for dessert lovers, as we introduced innovative French-inspired creations to the Lebanese pastry market. The name Gustav was inspired by the Italian word "Gusto" meaning good taste and was influenced by the colors and shapes of the paintings of Gustav Klimt.

Drawing on French, American and Oriental techniques, Gustav brings elements that are local into Western pastries with a twist. Our creative chefs continue to experiment with new flavors and innovative designs, while still holding on to traditional baked products. We strive to impress our customers with our wide range of freshly-made sweet creations, such as our top selling Pave au Chocolat cake, and our star item, the Apple Crumble cake.
