Le Cordon Bleu has been present in Lebanon since 2004, operating in partnership with local institutions. Its campus sits in the Burj on Bay hotel in Jounieh, north of Beirut, with demonstration rooms and practical classrooms for cuisine and pastry. The original version of this article placed the school in Beirut itself; the actual campus location is Jounieh.
Culinary diplomas in Lebanon cover technique, food safety, and kitchen management. Details of programmes, schedules, and fees change over time, so prospective students should check the school’s official pages. The original article also cited a 30 percent growth figure and a 90 percent employment rate, which could not be verified and have been removed.
