About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Good for groups
Byblos represents a marriage of Eastern Mediterranean cuisine with strong influences from both traditional and local ingredients, using time-honored classic cooking techniques and modern methods. Our chef has created dishes that showcase the regionally-specific spices and flavours of the Eastern Mediterranean seaboard to craft a menu that will be a true coastal and cultural mosaic, served family style in a convivial atmosphere.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ted Corrado

From the OpenTable editors: With its family-style menu and century-old building backdrop, media favourite Byblos is equally well-suited for special occasions and delicious, everyday dining. Eastern Mediterranean flavours are executed in modern ways featuring luscious ingredients like saffron liqueur and date molasses.

    Overpriced Around 6:30pm to 8pm, second floor, we found it to be noisy, at the point we couldn’t carry a normal conversation on the table; in addition, our table was too close to the other table, we could hear them but couldn’t hear our people on our table :( Food was good. For birthday celebrations, they do provide free slice of cake with a candle- you have to ask them, though.

    Food was fantastic, but 2-3 dishes per person was far too much food, lol!

    Five of us did a table mezze. Hummus royale, tuna tartare, Brussels sprouts, shrimp, octopus, and the lamb shoulder with a couple bottles of Chateau Musar. Arak and all 5 desserts on the menu to finish. Everything prepared superbly and nicely presented.

    One of the best middle eastern restaurants in Canada! And even better than Damas Montreal (sorry for the lovers). Definitely need to try this lamb burritos and the wagyu wood fired pita. So good!
