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.

    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.

    Such a cute restaurant. The decor is so pretty and creates a great atmosphere. Food was fantastic, and the drinks were awesome. The service was outstanding. I highly recommend for both intimate dinners and groups.

    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!

    Delicious dinner of sharing laughs and food. Wait staff very helpful in deciding how many dishes to order for 4 of us. Wonderful flavours, nice selection of non-alcoholic beverages. And just a short walk to Roy Thompson Hall. A bit tricky to find as there is construction and missing street signs, but a minor issue.

    By far the best restaurant in the city. The food was incredible & our server was fantastic. It was our first time dining there and she made the experience that much better. I’m already planning my next trip back to try the rest of their menu.
