Byblos is probably my top pick to date in Toronto. It just has the tastiest food. It's that "next-level" taste - the one you thoroughly enjoy and are amazed by. The one you still remember and crave. The one you openly (and happily) tell all your friends about. Byblos is THAT place. And while it's not cheap - it also doesn't break the bank. Especially when you know what to order!
My fave dishes here: The Roasted Red Beets Labneh, The Lamb Ribs (amazing!), The Eggplant Kibbeh (tasty!), The Fig Salad (The Fattoush Salad was my fave - but they removed it from the menu!), The pide (can't remember which one though), The Roasted Lamb Shoulder (so tender!), and The Mejadra Rice (simple but yummy!). I love ordering a lot of small dishes and sharing - family style :)
It's a hip, fun (read: can be loud) atmosphere. Service is top-notch. The one downside: You need to plan! Or be lucky lol! It's booked up every night (during regular dinner times) - so reservations are a must! But totally worth it.
