Byblos is one of the top rated restaurants in Toronto and one of my personal favourites. This place is perfect for any occasion and never disappoints. RESTAURANT: The decor of the restaurant is beautiful with dim lighting. There are two floors to the place but I've only ever sat on the main floor. The seating is a bit tight but you are still able to sit comfortably. The service is always great and attentive. FOOD: For starters, I recommend the roasted red beets which comes with barbari bread (like who doesn't love carbs) and their eggplant kibbeh. you MUST try their pides if you ever come here, they are so delicious. Their black truffle rice is already very aromatic and a bit more filling. Overall, the flavours of their dishes are so unique, you'll want to come back and try the whole menu. read more

First time in Canada and after checking yelp for my first meal in Canada, I was excited to see a place called Byblos - the same name as a favorite restaurant I enjoyed when I lived in California. And they had a dish called Manti that I also loved at Byblos in CA. These were obviously different businesses as this one is a nice sit down type place. I had the Manti and while it was good, it wasn't the same as the dish I had in CA. Instead there was a flat bread item (Wagyu Pide) with some sort of meat on top and it was phenomenal. I'd definitely recommend trying it. read more

Came here for a weeknight dinner with my boyfriend and our friend visiting from out of town. Overall, the food is just a fancy take on Mediterranean food - delicious yet pricey. Had it not been for our server (who was beyond funny and provided the best service), this would have been a 3 star review. Our party appreciates elevated service when it comes to upscale dining facilities with premium prices, and she absolutely nailed it. We started off with cocktails, and the nightingale sour was the clear winner among the round we ordered. It's the perfect cocktail to quench your thirst, with sweet and floral notes (coming from the peach and orange blossom). We also tried the marrakesh garden which was also refreshing, but forgettable. For our appetizers and mains, we ordered: Turkish manti dumplings - eggplant dumplings drizzled with a super rich yogurt sauce. Highly recommend. Fig salad - heavy orange blossom notes on this refreshing and delicate salad. It's almost too beautiful to eat, but safe to say this was gone in a jiff. Black truffle pide - this flatbread was nothing spectacular. To be frank, I am not so much a truffle lover, but my truffle-loving friends agreed this was a simple dish not worth swooning over. Grilled whole branzino - though the flavours were great - smoky and lemon-y - the branzino was overdone. It was hard to justify the $39 price tag on this one. Persian kale rice - this was an overwhelming portion for 2-3 people (which is not a bad thing!). I appreciated the crunch from the fragrant rice and lentils, but this again is a dish not worth swooning over. Roasted brussel sprouts - our sprouts came out pretty burnt which was disappointing. Any flavours from the halloumi, tahini, and yogurt were missed due to the charred leaves. read more

Byblos - fig salad, black truffle pide, and the nightingale sour cocktail - Mediterranean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This place is actually 2 floors and most nights require a booking. Tables are big and comfy far apart. Can accommodate large groups. I would say the food is a middle eastern fusion. The service is wonderful. Place is a bit dressy so no baseball hat or sweat pants. You can wear those things but just might be uncomfortable with everyone else dressed up a bit. Food is a bit expensive around $30/$50 for main. Food recommend: definitely the app with the dumpling in yogurt. The yogurt is middle eastern so a bit sour but sweat. Really good. Trick is to ask for bread (free) for the sauce after. We got the lamb shoulder as the main. You make your own wrap. The lamb is 24 hour roasted. I would probably get something else next time. Just wasnt unique enough for the price (felt like i was making my own shwarma). I would get the lamb rib app of you like lamb. read more

Spanish Octopus, Short Rib Kebab, Middle Eastern Fried Chicken, Cauliflower from Byblos The Spanish Octopus is a bitesize dish paired with potatoes, biber chili, and preserved lemon. The octopus is soft and grilled well. It was tasty but it would have been better with more sauce or a sauce dish on the side. The Short Rib Kebab made with chemen, truffle yogurt, pine nut dukkah, and mint. It was very soft and tender. The Middle Eastern Fried Chicken is made with tahini, za'atar, and red chug. The fried chicken was a little inconsistent as some were dry on the inside, and some were soft and tender. The hot and spicy sauce had a strong vinegar taste to it and added a lot of flavor to the fried chicken. The seared cauliflower is an appetizer seasoned with tahini, suma, and feta. Basically a dish covered in duck fat and the tahini sauce making it delicious. The service and atmosphere was great -- waiters were nice and came by a few times to refill water and asked about the food. Bathrooms were clean as well. Food: 4.2/5 ‍Service: 5/5 $$ : Spanish Octopus (CAD $22), Short Rib Kebab (CAD $29), Middle Eastern Fried Chicken (CAD $21), Cauliflower (CAD $14) read more

This is an upscale middle eastern restaurant. The food is good, definitely on the pricey side. It is a place I'd probably come once, maybe twice because for some reason, for me, the food feels boring after that - not worth the $$$ to spend on it again.

I just returned from a trip to Toronto, my first time. I was eager to try Byblos and this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT. My bf & I were waited on by this amazing waitress who walked us through the menu and made recommendations. She was so convincible that we ordered most of her suggestions. The manti dumplings I was hesitant to order was DELICIOUS. It was both lightly sweet yet very savory & the yogurt sauce just made it even better. If you don't like eggplants you will like this dish. The lamb Pide too was amazing. Our last dish was the friend chicken and too was delicious. We had an amazing experience and eager to go again. Good food and even better service. read more

Came with friends after a movie at tiff. We had reservations so we were seated right away. I was hesitant to eat here since I last ate here a few years ago because everything had cheese or yogurt with it. At that time no accommodation was made. This time was a whole different story. Our server was AMAZING!!! She pointed out dishes on the menu that could suit the various dietary restrictions of our party and she had most dishes served with certain ingredients on the side....e.g. the hummus was served with beef on the side, all the dishes with cheese or yogurt had the dairy items on the side. My favourite item was the kale rice with crispy lentils. The meat eaters ate the fish and loved it. The eggplant app is coated in chickpea flour so it is gf. I will definitely go back. read more

HOLY DELICIOUS! We had a really hard time narrowing down where we wanted to go when we were visiting Toronto so I did a lot of research on Yelp and kept coming across Byblos. Everything on the menu sounded amazing and they had reservation availability so we decided to check it out. I will say the outside of the restaurant is not very appealing and we were kind of hoping to sit outside but they do not have an outdoor patio. That was okay though because when you walk inside, the ambiance is very neat with a modern Mediterranean flare to it. We were seated on the downstairs level but we quickly realized that they have a massive upstairs area with a full bar and tables that accommodate larger groups. We were okay with being downstairs though because it was a bit quieter. Usually we a bottle of wine kind of couple but their cocktails sounded incredible so we decided to only do those. SO MANY OPTIONS. All very unique from what goes in the drink to the final presentation. I wish I knew the name of the one drink I had because it was delicious. I really enjoyed their spiced G&T as well. You can tell the bartender's put a lot of work and thought into these drinks. For dinner, they suggest about 4-5 items because their menu is meant to be shared family style. After a lot of help from our server who was excellent in giving recommendations, we decided to order the turkish manti dumplings, black truffle wood fired pide, short rib kebab and a side of their roasted brussels sprouts. They did a great job timing these items out so they came out one by one so when we finished one plate, the next one was on its way to our table. Everything was fantastic but if you were only going to order one thing from this menu, it would have to be the dumplings. THEY WERE INCREDIBLE. The sauce they came in were so good we actually dunked out pide into the dish as well. We were very happy to come across this place and would recommend it to anyone that was looking for a great date night option or just getting together with friends, they have something for everyone. read more

Don't be fooled by the exterior facade. Inside, the ambience is perfect for dinner dates. Everything we ordered was fantastic.

I made a reservation for a special occasion here and requested a quiet table for an anniversary celebration. They put us at one of the noisiest places upstairs right in front of the kitchen for that matter; which had a cold draft blowing onto our table. Our server barely came to check on us and to top it all off the food was lack lustre. Being Lebanese myself I was expecting an amazing melding of middle eastern flavours done in a new fusion style. Not what I got at all! For the prices that you pay here there are better places you can go. They also didn't even acknowledge that we were celebrating an anniversary at all! Didn't even mention it! For those reasons I give it 3 stars based on quality of flavours and lack of good customer service. Oh also forgot to mention we arrived right on time! And our table wasn't even ready yet. We had to wait even though my reservation was made days before. I really hope they step it up here because I was severely disappointed as a whole with the experience. read more

While we enjoyed all the dishes we tried, I wasn't truly "wow'ed" by anything. Everything we tasted was good, but my partner found the wagyu lahmeh a little too spicy and the lamb ribs a little too sweet. Same for the branzino- the sauce was delicious, but a little too much and kind of overpowered the fish itself. The other dish we had was the brussels sprouts and they were yum but again nothing that "wow'ed". I will say their old fashioned was great and our server was great too. Similar to what others said, their patio doesn't really have an ambiance and just kind of feels like an extension of the sidewalk. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner last Friday night during my bachelorette trip. We sat near the chef's counter and were able to see the food prepared and brought out. The menu items are small plates and we ordered several items to share amongst us all. All of our drinks were not only delicious but also were so appealing to look at! We unfortunately did not try too many of the menu items as we were coming from a late lunch but the flatbread, fries, and salad that we did have were all delicious!! I would absolutely come back again to try more menu items next time I happen to be visiting Toronto. read more

Ordered take-out: TL;DR: It's really good! We got the Manti dumplings, braised lamb, wagyu pide, and brussels sprouts for two people. The Manti dumplings were probably our favourite dish. They were super tasty and very unique to us. It had a great balance of flavours: slightly tangy, sweet, cheesy?? We could not really make out what was in this dish, but they were comforting somehow, and we loved it! The Braised Lamb was so tender, it fell apart with just a touch of our forks. It was VERY lamb-y and so tasty with all of the different pickled condiments and tangy sauces. The standout for me was definitely the green sauce. It was super refreshing and, well, GREEN! I have no idea what is in it but I want more! Even though the crust was a bit cold and soggy by the time we got to try it, the pide was so good. The flavours were well balanced and I think it's a great appetizer/share dish just to get everyone started. The wagyu one that we ordered was not too unique. Personally, I would opt for a different one next time. The brussels sprouts were a great in-between bite for a different flavour and texture. Of course they were delicious. However, they really are just roasted brussels sprouts, so use your own judgement! Everything we ordered was really tasty! We usually have quite small appetites but we found ourselves wanting more of what we ordered. Not sure if it's the small portion sizes or the crazy delicious food. Either way, we'd love to have the chance to dine in when things open back up! read more

My boyfriend brought me to Byblos for my birthday celebration! We loved our experience at Byblos and decided to revisit :) Service was excellent. Our server had great recommendations for popular items on the menu and was very friendly. The atmosphere is candlelit and dim, good for dates! ORGANIC HOUSE LABNEH (5/5) (Fennel + Honey + Olive Oil + Barbari Bread) Tasted like a very yummy humus haha! It's soo delicious! The bread was covered with different types of sesame seeds so eating the bread itself was already very tasty. Adding the labneh was a plus! Loved it! EGGPLANT KIBBEH (4/5) (Zucchini Flower + Baharat + Chickpea Batter + House Yogurt) I was super excited to try this crispy eggplant again but I realized they cooked it differently from how they did before. I'd prefer the crispy eggplant than this way of cooking. Both are still good. WAGYU LAHMEH PIDE (5/5) (House Turkish Paste + Fior De Latte + Toum + Basil Cress) How can flat bread taste so good?! I'd order this again and again. The wagyu paste was delicious and the bread itself was very chewy. This dish wasn't dry at all because a lot of cheese was drenched on top of the bread. The smell makes you even more hungry. GRILLED WHOLE BRANZINO (5/5) (Chermoula + Saffron Toum + Watercress) We came back for more of this!! I told my friends to order this dish at Byblos and all their reactions were like.."Fish..?!" Yes! Fish! They make it so good! The fish meat is drenched with flavour and the best part of this is.. It's boneless! DESSERTS: LOUKOUMADES (5/5) (Attiki Honey + Walnut Praline + Burnt Honey Ice Cream + Halva) Tasted like chewy donuts dipped with honey glaze. It tastes really really good - especially the burnt honey ice cream! I suggest eating each of these little bits separately first. Each one has its own flavour. Once mixed together, it creates another type of texture! PIZZELLE (3/5) (Baklava Ice Cream + Salted Caramel + Cous Cous Praline) The Baklava ice cream was amazinggg! The cous cous praline on top of the cookie was also delicious. The only thing lacking was the cookie itself. It was kind of soggy. read more

A truly elevated dining experience! I'd say the food above all. Quality is impeccable. The dumplings are an absolute must have. Stuffed with creamy eggplant in a heavenly yoghurt sauce. The meats were also done just right, lamb being so tender and not gamey at all, not salty, the flavors subtle and well balanced. Had an old fashioned with hints of coffee and of course a real big ice cube. Decor is classy but nothing special, was hoping for something more unique but the food makes up for it all. Warning: it is expensive so be prepared to spend around 80-100$ per person if you get drinks. read more

Solid quality dining. From ambiance to food and wine, this establishment will delight and satisfy. Excellent wine list from across the globe. The Roasted Lamb Shoulder for Two was our highlight, though the Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Red Beets, Cauliflower, Spanish Octopus were enjoyable as well. Parking in the area may be somewhat difficult to find. Byblos is situated in the heart of the Toronto's financial district, though the Roy Thompson Hall and Rogers Centre is nearby as well. Bathroom is clean a spacious. Service was great on tempo-- laid back, but attentive when your wine needed to be topped off. read more

Byblos - Mediterranean Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Out of all the many restaurants we went to in Toronto, Byblos was the very best! Here's why: 1) The food: They take Mediterranean cuisine and up the game creating a magical dining experience. Truly, every dish is amazing, but I recommend these: The black truffle pide (flat bread), manti dumplings (if you love cream sauce), fig salad, and the roasted brussels sprouts. 2) The cocktails: Their menu is Mediterranean inspired and provides very unique cocktails with untraditional ingredients. Order one, or two. 3) The location: It's downtown Toronto. 4) The atmosphere: It's well decorated and unique. 5) The prices: For one of the best restaurants in town, it's affordable! If you don't have it on your itinerary, add it ASAP. You won't regret it! read more

Really love Byblos! Had another amazing dinner there last night. Thanks to our awesome server everything went well!

Amazing food and amazing experience. Our server was very helpful. We thought the portion sizes were going to be small so we were going to order too much but he helped us out a lot. We started with the manti dumplings and the truffle pidhe which were both amazing. I'm still drooling at the thought of the mushrooms. Definitely a must try! Then we got the brussel sprouts and the lamb for two. Both were amazing. The sprouts came with halloumi cheese. The lamb came on a tray with toppings to build your own wraps. It was so much food we got some to go We also got the tea service and ordered mint tea. It came with Turkish delight as appertiffs. It was amazing! The more we drank it the hungrier we got. We were too full for a dessert so we just got saffron ice cream and Turkish coffee. Both were amazing. Such a great meal. read more

We had a Saturday night dinner at Byblos. Wonderful service. Hummus was great -- sesame bread w/ it was a nice twist. Order of jeweled rice, zaatar ff and grilled radicchio salad maybe doesn't sound like much food or exciting, but it was: radicchio had a steak-like char bitterness and series of bright flavors that was brilliant, whole dish was great. Jeweled rice was beautiful plate, riot of beautiful flavors. Fries were spicy and great, with some toum to dip it in. Nice wine list. Just a great time. read more

Byblos is one of those perfect date spot or for a girl's night out! The entrance is small and unassuming. The interior of the restaurant though modern and chic, I can almost say a little clubby. Service is excellent. Our waiter is so knowledgeable and excited about the menu. Cocktails to Start: Nightingale Sour ($14) - fruity and well balanced! Cucumber & Mint Swizzle ($14) - so refreshing! A twist on Mojito! Small Plates: Lamb Ribs ($14) Dukkah + Buttermilk Sauce + Carob Molasses + Red Chili Schug - Off the bone tender with right touch of spices. Crispy Eggplant ($12) Tahini Aioli + Bayildi Sauce + Basturma - I found this dish so so. muted on taste Rice Plates to Share: Oxtail Basmati Rice ($22) Bing Cherries + Kale + Fried Shallots + House Yogurt - Love the deep fried kale and the oxtail so soft and tender Dessert to End: Saffron Semi Freddo ($8) Everything was served beautifully with excellent plating. Love all the colourful elements a contrast to the white deco! Byblos is a fun and interesting place to come with friends to share some small plate or with some one special for special occasions. Price point though is on the $$$ side but it is downtown after all and not too many restaurants can dish out what they are serving with that much class as Byblos! read more

An outstanding dining experience. The ambiance was the perfect balance between romantic and fun. The service was attentive, but not overly so. The food and the cocktails were the absolute highlight. Incredible flavours. Perfectly prepared. I can't recommend this place enough... read more

Upscale restaurant with simple food done in an elegant way. Great place for a girls night out, birthday dinners, or any kind of celebratory meal. Sharing style, so the more people the better! You get to try more dishes. Been here twice now. On the most recent occasion, we ordered: Cheese acharuli - this was really good. Tasted like pide Roasted red beets - beets with yogurt and pistachios. I love beets so really enjoyed this. The bread it came with was a bit too salty for my liking. Local roma salad - mountain of tomatoes with some feta cheese. I probably wouldn't order this again, as it's not that special. Crispy squid - Pretty big plate of squid. Was very tasty. Turkish manti dumplings - my friends really liked this one. For me, it didn't stand out too much. Oxtail basmati rice - lacking a bit in flavour. Tasted better when we mixed the manti dumpling sauce into the rice. I've had the sweet jeweled rice here before too and recall not being a huge fan of that one. (Desserts) Crispy qatayef - pretty much individual funnel cakes! Yum Yogurt mousse - this one was really neat and well done in terms of flavour combinations. Turkish coffee ice cream - this was actually dark chocolate ice cream. A bit misleading that the word chocolate isn't in the name of the ice cream because that's mostly what you taste. I could barely taste coffee. BUT as a chocolate ice cream, this was rich, creamy and delicious. Burnt honey ice cream - compared to the chocolate (turkish coffee) ice cream, this one wasn't as creamy or flavourful. Definitely preferred the chocolate one. All of this came out to about $30 each including tax and tip, for five people. The food here actually doesn't stand out to me too much. As in, I'm satisfied but not wowed (i.e. there's nothing I've tried here that makes me think, 'I must go back and eat this dish'). For a lot of the dishes here, I think it's possible to find similar dishes at other places for less price. But if you want a nice place to sit down, share and enjoy dishes that are well-presented and well-prepared, Byblos is a good place to go. read more

I came here for my parents anniversary dinner. I have mixed reviews about this place. The food was good, for the most part, but it was too expensive, it was too dimly lit, one of the waiters really didn't know anything about the food he was serving to us, and our waitress was pretty sneaky. One thing that bothered me was that the waitress would insist on getting us almonds as if they were complementary (we did not ask or want almonds) but would go ahead and add it to our bill. I know the goal is to up sell, but it would be better if she asked if we wanted an "appetizer of almonds" rather than insist on getting us almonds really quickly while we wait for the other food. What we ordered: 1. Sujuk bread: 9/0, this was amazing 2. Fig salad: 10/10. My whole family loved this and my mom went on to make this salad at home. 3. Sabzi rice : 4/10. I really didn't like this one. Maybe because this was a Persian style rice that I already eat at home and had high expectations for. 4. crispy couscous: 5/10. The first bite was good but then it got TOO salty as we got to the centre of the couscous. Would not recommend at all. 5. Shoulder of Lamb (shawarma style): 8/10 this was really good 6. lamb rack: 7/10. This was ok 7. crispy quatayef: 7/10. This was ok read more

Hi Yelpers! So for a few days I'll be in Toronto! Arriving this afternoon we decided to go to Byblos since I saw many IG posts. We ordered Turkish manti dumplings which had eggplant, yogurt sauce and date molasses. There were several small seized dumplings in a cast iron pan. The sauce to me is delicious. Love the spice as well as it isn't necessarily tongue burning spice but very middle eastern. The dumpling was also juicy as well. Lamb rack which had muhamarra and middle eastern gremolata. This dish I was disappointed in due to the fact the sauce wasn't tasteful to me. I wantethe spice from the muhamarra and I didn't taste any garlic nor lemony zest to it as well. The lamb was cooked medium rare We also added black truffle. This dish had truffle paste which became crunchy, which is fine because I like the crunch texture to the rice. It also included a lid mushrooms and crème fraiche. This is my favourite dish out of all three I have tasted. What gave it savour was the spice. Our server was excellent, he was attentive and made sure our glass of water was always filled. To me, price doesn't reflect the taste. Yes there maybe exotic herbs used, but no. Would I come back again? Sure. Try another dish and see how it goes. Thank you for hosting us Byblos! Hi read more

Fabulous! We were visiting from Seattle and decided to try Byblos between a trip to the aquarium and a visit to the CN Tower. It was the highlight of our day. The food was absolutely delicious, service was great. They were very accommodating of and kind towards our 20 month old son - bringing him milk when we asked in their most durable (metal) cup (we, fortunately, did come prepared with a straw cup). There wasn't a single dish that I would not eagerly order again. My only regret is that, since we were traveling, we could not take leftovers home. read more

On my visit to Byblos, there were various service issues due to them being short staffed and the meal took an unusually long time. For example, we were asked for our drink orders more than 30 minutes after sitting down, when we didn't even have water or a drink menu to look at. We got our appetizers before the drink menu arrived and at which point we weren't even interested in order anything else anymore. Having that said, I find the food here tasty and I thought they were presented nicely. While I personally would unlikely be returning to Byblos due to my experience there, it is my understanding that most people who dine here do enjoy their visit, and Byblos remains to be one of few higher end dining establishments for Mediterranean food in Toronto. YMMV read more

AMAZING. We really enjoy Mediterranean cuisine but it's always been pretty traditional fare. Byblos does it different. You may have tried dishes that were similar to it in the past, but I guarantee they will surprise and delight your taste buds. First off, cocktails are a must. I ordered the "Sultan's Privilege". The bartender is very talented...highly recommend one of their signature cocktails. We ordered the roasted red beets (think bread with yogurt dip),l and Turkish mantis dumplings. Both we delicious and completely not what we expected. Next we ordered the grilled whole branzino with the sweet jewelled rice, and roasted Brussels sprouts (sides are ordered a la carte). The fish was perfectly cooked...juicy and flighty flaky white fish, with beautiful parsley rub and crunchy skin, Brussels sprouts were very tasty, and the rice was a delightful balance of sweet and savoury. Finally for dessert we ordered the orange blossom mousse and the pizzelle. Both were a perfect way to finish off our meal. read more

Excellent experience at Byblos. It's a classy spot, great selection of mediterranean dishes, tasty dishes, and top notch service (all for a hefty price tag). Came here on a Sunday date night. I made reservations the night before online which worked smoothly. Our server was extremely professional, kind and attentive to our table. They re-filled our glasses promptly and explained the menu to us. Food overall hit the mark for me! Crispy Squid 3.5/5 - Sort of basic in my opinion, nothing special and would not get again. Eggplant 4.5/5 - I thought this was tasty, flavourful and cooked very well. The sauce fit well with it as well. Lamb Shoulder 5/5 - This was the main dish we got ($50 for 1lb). The lamb was super tender and flavourful. Comes with the condiments (pickles, garlic sauce, turnip etc...) and wraps which worked really well. (this was a bit too much for the two of us). Cauliflower = 5/5 - I really enjoyed this, crispy cauliflower with a yummy sauce on the side. Overall, I'd come back and recommend giving this place a shot. read more
