The amazing thing that looks like ice cream is actually hummus. The Kibbeh and Haloumi cheese were also perfect. One of the waiters or owners was unpleasant though and laughed at me when I ordered a second Haloumi portion and brought the same bad joke...three more times, which was his loss, because it made me not order any more of it.More

We had a dinner at this beautiful restaurant today. The food varieties are great, and the food taste is delicious! The restaurant is situated at the best location facing the sea. Both the restaurant owner Toufic Kouek and his staff are friendly and accommodating. Very...nice dining experiences!More

We had lunch here overlooking the water. The food was great (especially the oven baked sea bass) and the Arabic mezze, and the service was delightful. The restaurant overlooks the water and has a lovely breeze coming in. Overall a wonderful experience.

I visited this restaurant after a long day of tourism and adventures in and around Byblos. This restaurant is a very easy walk down the street from the Byblos fort. The waiters seated me and took my order right away. The dishes and drinks did...not take much time to arrive at all, and the food was absolutely delicious. The views from the balcony were spectacular and refreshing, and the ambiance was great. The ONLY reason I did not give this a 5 star rating is because of the slightly overpriced drinks and dishes, and spotty WiFi. I STRONGLY recommend this place to anybody in the Byblos area looking to quell their hunger and thirst with some authentic Lebanese food and drinks.More
