One of my top favourite restaurants in Toronto, Byblos never fails to impress. With the extensive list of drinks, finely made cocktails (die-hard fan of the old fashion and I typically don't drink bourbon), and a wide variety of small/large plates to share, the menu makes each visit a unique experience.
For a party of 3, we ordered the steak tartare, shakshouka, mejadra basmatic rice and a side of brussel sprouts to share. All food items were properly seasoned with spices, and covered sauce and cheese. My favourite is the basmati rice which was finely balanced in texture and flavor with the fried shallots, that was nicely paired with yoghurt dressing. Total came to $42 per person which I thought was reasonable for King West restaurants with drinks as well.
The service was great and I would give it 5+ stars if that was an option!
