Locanda - A la Granda

Delightful international fusion cuisine served in the heart of wonderful Byblos. Unique food, in a unique decor and atmosphere, and of course a unique location.

Reviewed By Haytham H

One of our favorite restaurants in Byblos. My wife and I are regular customers and we always have a great time there with friends. An excellent well-designed menu, special Lebanese and oriental food with a twist, delicious dessert, professional, friendly, and welcoming staff.

Bab El-Mina

Reviewed By S O - Canton of Zurich, Switzerland

You walk down the Roman way to the hardboard through beautiful streets with “caché” and numerous bars where history and modern design marry together very well.
The restaurant is at the old hardboard and have a nice and large terrasse with view to the sea and the port tower.
Food is fine and varied and a clear reference of the Lebanese Gastronomy.
Take the time to select your fresh fish to be grilled, fried or cooked in a salt shell (my preferred).
Service is friendly and very reactive so you can concentrate in eating and drinking.

Byblos Fishing Club

Listed in Lonely Planet guide

Reviewed By Lynden K - Melbourne, Australia

The restaurant has an undeniably great history and affords a nostalgic memory lane type ambiance with a sensational view of the ancient harbour and Crusader Citadel.
Regrettably however we found the venue's prices above par and service below bar.
Worst still the prawn spring rolls served were found to be half frozen causing my wife to become sick and suffer overnight.
To compound my disappointment, when I politely queried payment of that item, I had to confront a dispute before the bill was adjusted.

Feniqia

Near the ruins of the Crusader Castle. A Restaurant built into the ruins, amazing atmospher adn food.

Reviewed By 1Rahhalatun - Troy, Michigan

This is an excellent restaurant with creative takes on and presentations of Lebanese classics. I highly recommend. I went twice and was not disappointed. I ordered fish and was surpised to see it arrive as an encrusted filet. The breading was a panko and the fish was outstanding. The service, on the other hand, is a bit too disinterested. One thing prevents me from returning. There is a terrible rat problem next door around the rubbish bins. It makes me concerned that they are getting into the building.

A nice change of food. But really there wasn't much flavor to the dishes. Salsa was fine. All the food was fine, not bad, but not "wow, that is excellent". Window sears have good views. Margarida was quite good and strong.

Chez Pepe or Pepe Abed

This restaurant was opened by Pepe Abed sometime in the 1960's. Has been very popular ever since and has had a large amount of celebrities who have visited over the years. Their photos are put on the wall in the restaurant. Excellent fish and sea food.

Kami Sushi

The best sushi in this north city. Great fresh fish always, because the restaurant is crowded most of the time

Reviewed By 1Rahhalatun - Troy, Michigan

I did not try the sushi...I would need to know the place better before trying it. But I had a fantastic seafood soba noodle dish which was great. Service was good.Dear 1Rahhalatun, We truly appreciate your visit and for taking the time to share your experience. It was great to hear that you have enjoyed our cuisine. We do hope to welcome you again soon to try our sushi Kind regards, The Management.

Mon Maki A Moi

Reviewed By Charles M - Beirut, Lebanon

We went to the one at Byblos Sud resort, the place is nice and clean however the food was a complete disaster. The salmon tasted rotten, other suchi pieces tasted horrible. I believe this is the worst suchi I've had in Lebanon. In addition, it was way too pricey for the quality it offered.

Adonai Le Petit Libanais

Adonai Le Petit Libanais’s cuisine is distinguished with its specialty fekhara cooking technique (cooking food in ceramic plates and bowls). All grilled platters are cooked in the fekhara for that unique traditional taste. The chef uses regional and homemade products freshly served on a daily basis. Weight watchers can rest assured, as all the menu’s items are cooked oil free.

Reviewed By Hussein C

This restaurant offers an authentic experience by offering special barbecue experience and a set of delicious food. Shisha is nice as well and the service is quick and accommodating. Recommended for couples rather than family due to it nice and romantic settings especially being part of the old souk on Byblos.
