While visiting Toronto, my husband and I visited Byblos for an early meal before attending a Tragically Hip concert. We didn't have a reservation, but because we were in long before the peak time, we didn't have a problem getting seated.
At the recommendation of our awesome server, we ordered the tea punch service (I don't recall the exact name; apologies if that's incorrect) and then checked out the menu. It was difficult to decide between all of the tasty options, but we finally settled on the steak tartare, crispy squid, seared cauliflower, and thrice-cooked fries. The food arrived a bit before our cocktail, which was a bit odd, but I think this was because the place was pretty empty at that hour. (It filled up quickly during the time we were there.)
All the dishes were lovely. The cauliflower and steak tartare were clear standouts. The texture of the tartare was unique and absolutely perfect. I think the squid would have been slightly better if they cut the squid thicker (they were kind of like squid fries in this context), but that's a minor quibble. When the tea punch did arrive, it was wonderful: sweet and complex. We ended the meal with coffee and tea and called it a night. It was a great start to a fantastic evening.
