| - I've eaten here twice now, and I love their foray into dishes and flavours that you don't see much of in the city. Their concept of elevating Mediterranean cuisine is incredible in some of their dishes, very tasty in most of their dishes, and only missed in one or two items on the menu (which might not be your experience, so take it with a grain of salt).
That's what it comes down to though, I think, The flavours are so different that if you order half a dozen dishes (which I recommend) it's very likely that you'll hate one dish, really like two others, and want to marry the other three. And those love/hate relationships will differ from person to person.
That being said, I'd recommend the labneh, the manti dumplings and the octopus. Wasn't crazy about the olives. In the end though, you have to try the place for yourself. And when I say that you have to try it, I mean that you HAVE to try it. You will be missing out on a cornucopia of flavours and experiences if you don't, so make sure you try out Byblos at least once.
Oh, and the atmosphere is super cool. Great spot for bringing a date, especially if you have tickets at Roy Thomson afterwards ;)
