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.

Reviewed By Terry M

The restaurant is tucked away along the inner harbour. It is an iconic spot, visited by many famous people, pictures of the original owner Pepe on the wall with many of them. It is the food that wins out and the eclectic nature of the decor. Had a cheese, onion and tomato starter and octopus for the main course. It was a bit disappointing both of my dishes were brought at the same time while others had nothing for a period of time. The size of the octopus as a main course was on the small side. There were complimentary desserts including a spiced pudding or parfait. The large strawberries were great with powdered sugar save for the one strand of hair hanging from the plate. Either before or after your meal you should spend a few minutes in the museum rooms at the entrance. There are further knickknacks from Pepe plus some art pieces he owned. I agree it is not the cheapest place, paying a bit for the name. If a rating was out of 10, it would have been a 7.

Dar L'Azrak

Reviewed By SurreyGirl27

Dar L’Azrak is beautifully located, jutting into the harbour with special views. There is no real menu which can be an issue as not many of the staff speak English. The seafood is obviously fresh but rather pricey, definitely paying for the location and view and the price per kilo more than the other restaurants in the harbour charge. Alcohol and fruit juices were also over priced. But the food was good, fresh and well seasoned and they did give us a mixed dessert plate complimentary

Kanater Annaya Restaurant

Reviewed By tHeWiK0110

Place is located high into Annaya. The fog was all over while we were about to grab a meal. Servers are highly attentive and very welcoming. Highly recommended to try the Saj cheese and zaatar pie. Prices are very moderate. There is a small playground for kids in case you want to distract the little ones away.

Located in the old town of Byblos. The food was delicious and fresh. Their dishes are mainly healthy and made by fresh products and grilled items. What I like the most that all the dishes are served in a pottery. The service is good and the prices are correct too. To try definitely.

The other day my bill was about $101 USD, I asked the waiter to make the bill an even $115 so I can include tip. I paid with debit and marked $0 tip on the paper receipt since I already included it in the bill. Upon looking at my online banking I see the restaurant charged me $130.Dear Waleed,Thank you for our message.We are sorry to hear that such a problem occurred at Malena. We would like to stress and confirm that there is no way Malena staff and manager would do such a thing on purpose. We ask you please to contact us with your account details or your phone number and name for OMT, in order to fix any problem or mistake that happened with your bill and refund all extra deducted amount. Due to the current banks closure, we cannot do any verification today. But surely do as soon as banks are open.Sorry for any inconvenience and we would like to see you again at Malena.Best regards

My hubby chose Pearl Island restaurant for my surprise birthday dinner tonight. The place was amazing and it exceeded our expectations from the professional and friendly staff especially Mohammad to the amazingly tasty food to the beautiful views over the sea and the nice setup with flower petals on our table. Everything was wonderful. We received a complimentary fruit tray, 3 different kinds of Lebanese sweets for each of us and a cheesecake to celebrate my birthday. That was a very thoughtful touch from Pearl Island team. We highly recommend this restaurant!
