Byblos Bar & Restaurant

Byblos bar and restaurant serves delicious Lebanese and Mediterranean foods with great vegan options.

I visited Byblos on a Saturday night with friends and had an amazing experience. We chose the banquet option and honestly every dish I tried was great.

They were able to make a lot of the dishes vegan, and served them separately to the other dishes.

Great service, atmosphere and views of the river as well.

They also let you take the leftovers home, which is a definite bonus.

Can't rate the food as I only stopped in for a drink.

Was an amazing day outside and their indoor/outdoor transition is nice and modern. The outdoor seating area is a chill and relaxing vibe! Right on the water is awesome!

I could see other families look like they were having a great time enjoying their meals so Ill have to give it a taste next time!

The chicken wings here are so good! Smothered in garlic and chili and all sorts of other goodness. Definitely recommend them! The calamari was really tender too. And the staff were super friendly and helpful to top it all off!

Great atmosphere, got the chefs banquet at $60 pp and there was more than enough food!
We were in the corner so service wasn't quite frequent and we had to wave them down a few times to get their attention. Starters were excellent but we wish the meat came out a bit sooner as we had pretty much cleaned up all the salad and dips before the meat came out. Lamb kebab was tasty and juicy but a bit salty.

Edit: came to dine solo and had great service, pumpkin kibbeh was solid, lamb mince skewers also great. Food came out quickly as well. A bit pricey to be dining a la carte so would definitely recommend the set menu if you have a friends!

Dropped in for a drink and than stayed all night 😀 The Staff were so lovely and attentive. The place was full of people with a few events going on it was a great vibe. We sat outside overseeing the Yarra and the city 😍 the dishes came out quickly and were delicious. I loved eating the vine leaves.

Shout-out to Mike for showing us how to have a Byblos tequila shot with a twist. First you lick the cinnamon off the orange slice, take the shot then bit on the orange. It was different and nice 🙂👍 also Mike makes the best Negroni cocktail, it was so smooth and delightful.

Thank you Byblos for taking care of us last night.

Food is absolutely amazing. Staff were polite, courteous and the customer service was top class. Big fan of Lebanese cuisine and this was one of (if not) the best!! The dessert taster platter is so good too! Definitely highly recommended.

Delicious food! Great location and wonderful atmosphere, thanks for a great dining experience!

Stopped here a couple of times for a drink while wandering around Southbank. Great atmosphere, staff are very friendly and attentive. First time we ordered some chips and they were delicious, crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Also went for dinner on our last night in Melbourne. We ordered the chef's banquet and it was amazing. What a great way to try Lebanese food, highly recommend this if you don't know what to order. The chicken wings are to die for! The banquet also came with skewers but we didn't get a photo of that

This experience with my loved one was incredible. Even though how the large table made us feel less intimate, it was more than enough room for the food!

The trio of dips were clearly homemade and the best I ever had. The eggplant was the winner there. Wish the pita bread was made there too which would have gotten another star. The salad fresh, chicken skewer tender and the barramundi cooked to perfection.

To top it off THE BEST baked chocolate housemade pudding which hit every spot of orgasm you can imagine.... If that made any sense haha. Would go back just to try out their other desserts.

The customer service was wonderful too! Welcoming and informative staff 👌

Great atmosphere and service. Every dish was very tasty and the quality was superb. It was the best experience and I would definitely visit again.

I'll definitely be back. So will my guests. We enjoyed your hospitality. Your food was a hit. Fresh, tasty and very filling. Great value for the chefs banquet. Your cocktails were so yummy! The staff are so nice and service was good. Your restaurant has a lovely and posh atmosphere. Great location. One of the nicer restaurants & experiences in South Wharf for me. 😊

Down from Sydney for a few days and came here for dinner on our final night and we definitely saved the best for last. The decor and vibe in the restaurant was really nice, staff were excellent and very helpful advising us about portion sizes. Food was absolutely sensational. Definitely worth a visit if you're visiting Melb CBD area.

A great venue for the early sitting for New Year's eve. So much food!

Loved the food and views, so happy you are back. If you can’t go to lebanon 🇱🇧 then this is the place to go for yummy food! I recommend the trio, cheese pastry, chicken wings and the kebabs are so good. 5 stars indeed!

Clean and beautiful place with views. Looks like owner has spent time on interiors , middle eastern vibe. Beautiful artwork and lights. Sitting is comfortable. Customer service is excellent, Staff is friendly and polite. Few mins of waiting time once food has been ordered. I enjoyed their menu, vegetarian friendly menu with variety of options compared to few places which offer 2 or 3 options. Moreover, food also tastes good with reasonable price. I will rate this place 10/10 and will be going again.

Stop off here every DFO shopping trip. Staff are always amazing and go above and beyond. Every morsel is delicious every single time. Family favourite. Can’t recommend highly enough. Our favourite destination when we come to town!

I have been back time and time again to Byblos, and have never once been disappointed. The food has always been incredible, and has always been served in a timely manner. The portions are perfect, and I have never ever left hungry. The servers have always been attentive, and incredibly polite and respectful, and the atmosphere is incredibly pleasant. I've never been shy about recommending this venue to family and friends, and will definitely return again in the future.

Shrimp skewers were fabulous! We sampled 4 types of skewers, and they were all very well seasoned and cooked to perfection. Fatoush, tabbouleh, and hummus were amazing as well. The restaurant is located right on the water with nice views of the city. We will definitely be back.

i looooove byblos! always such a yummy and fun dining experience here. visited multiple times and on our most recent visit, we dined for an early sunday dinner. the ambience is warm, cosy and inviting! spacious area with luxurious chairs and incredibly friendly and attentive staff who are knowlegdable in the menu and very accommodating. the food is always delicious and we aways leave feeling satisifed! without being too salty ot oily, the Lebanese food sticks to its traditional ingredients, names and preparations. we especially love the trio of dips (this is a MUST order), tender stuffed vineleaves, whitebait (which was very fleshy and not overly fried), mixed pickles (only $9 and HUGE!), chicken skewers (some of the most tender, succulent chicken breast i've ever had) and taboulleh is a must alongside all these dishes. don't forget the choc pudding for dessert which comes out oozy, hot and so delicous. this pairs well with their unique and refreshing coconut pannacotta! something we've never tried but loved. wish the choc sauce in the pudding was of nicer quality, it tasted like a store-bought sauce. but otherwise, i wouldnt fault a thing. food, drinks, staff, ambience and service were all faultless really. have visited twice in the last month! thankyou byblos!

Absolutely beautiful ambiance and food with both indoor and outdoor dining options. Mesmerizing view of Yarra river from outside. A very welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was very colorful and delicious. Highly recommended for Lebanese food lovers.
