| - This place is as good as everyone says it is.
We came here on a weekday, and it was very busy. Fantastic atmosphere and service, I would recommend this as a date place. Make your reservation in advance, as it's hard to get a table.
We were thoroughly impressed with all of the food (except the cauliflower side, which was OK).
For a party of two, they recommend getting 6 dishes to share (everything is meant to be shared). We got 6, and had some left over.
Here's what we had:
1. Shakshouka: Duck egg in tomato sauce, served with toasted bread (similar to naan). So delicious. Layers upon layers of flavour. Highly recommend.
2. Tuna Tartare with Avocado (special of the day): This was served with squid ink crostini, and was really good. The tartare was good too, a bit on the small side, and it was actually pretty spicy.
3. Mejadra Rice: This was delicious. Again, layer upon layer of flavour. I was really blown away, it was probably the best rice I've ever eaten.
4. Turkish Manti: This is an absolute must try if you visit byblos. Layer upon layer of flavour, and it was really savoury.
5. Seared Cauliflower Side: As mentioned, this was OK. I wasn't wowed by this, and I can easily say it was my least favourite.
6. Fig Salad: I'm probably biased because I love figs, but this was amazing! I highly recommend getting this salad.
I regret that we were so full that we didn't get dessert! All of the desserts looked delicious. I am really looking forward to my next visit.
