We had an incredible dinner at Byblos. We were a group of 6 so decided to get the banquet and oh my gosh there was a lot of food. Everything was absolutely delicious, service was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect. Highly recommend doing a friends catch up dinner at Byblos 👏👏👏
Came to Byblos on a recommendation and so glad we did. The food coming off the pass is some of the best middle eastern food I’ve experienced. Byblos comes highly recommended with a great menu & beverage list and overlooks the Yarra :-)
Such a delicious middle eastern feast tonight! The venue was beautiful and the staff were wonderful!

Ambience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Verdict: 👍
We went there for a work lunch. 10 of us and we all ordered the platters for two - 4 meat and 1 vegeterian. They even did the platter for $49 while the original is $75 which was great. The food was really good. Lots of variety as a platter should be and good portion. Unless you are big eaters there’ll probably be a lot of leftovers.
Back at one of my favourite middle eastern restaurant in Melbourne. Again, they did not disappoint with customer service, food and drink quality and price.
Always will recommend others to dine here as I love the location and view when sitting outside.

🔆VERDICT🔆
I was on the borderline of giving it a 4.5 rating given that we only had 1.5 hours seating and rushed out at 8.00pm. Its difficult to really properly enjoy dinner when you dont have alot of time. I wasn't made aware prior when I rang up for a 6.30pm booking. As their online booking didnt have that option, only 6pm.
Regardless we enjoyed our meal, and service was very good as well.
I especially enjoyed the Rekakat. The pastry was very light,airy and freshly baked. The filling was very tasty and delicious.
The grilled prawns was full of flavour and tasted so well with the homemade yoghurt. I cannot get enough of the yoghurt, is delicious.
Everything we ordered was very tasty and full of flavour! Next time we wont order the trio of dips as we had too much food, only 1 dip would be more than sufficient.
The grilled dory was so fresh and tender it just melted in my mouth, the red pepper ratatouille balanced well with the fish.
My friend really liked the baked stuffed zuchini. I dont mind it but it is way too filling as the serving is really generous with 3 peices in 1 serve). I think if there was option to order the Koosa for 1 peice as entree size it would be much better.
Overall we had a fantastic night at Byblos. No doubt I will be back.
Byblos is located in a gorgeous place just overlooking the Yarra River. The service here was fantastic and we didn’t have to wait long at all for our food. The food was delicious and the servings sizes generous. We had the Muhamarra dip which was divine and not at all spicy. The Mediterranean seafood beautifully presented on a tiered server and was more than enough for two people as the menu suggested. The self saucing chocolate pudding was divine but the Coconut panacotta has an odd texture and wasn’t my favourite dish. All up a fantastic spread and will definitely be going back.

Staying in South Wharf for the weekend we are so happy we found this restaurant on the city side of the Yarra, just a short walk from the Novotel and Pan Pacific hotels. We were seated at a lovely table overlooking the river with really comfy chairs. We ordered the mixed dips, kebbi, rekakat and vine leaves all of which were delicious. We then tried the calamari, chilli prawns and lamb Kafka. We were too full to try the desserts, but I did have a really good Lavazza cappuccino. The service was great and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend Byblos to anyone craving a delicious Lebanese meal.
Few of us went there for happy hour and dinner on a weekday night. Food was amazingly good, ordered couple entrees, different lamb skewers, calamari and chic wings as main to share. Basic services were there, definitely room for improvement.
Having enjoyed many visits to this place for birthdays , dinners and New Year’s Eve parties this was also a great venue for our office end-of-year party.
We booked the upper deck of Byblos which allows great sweeping views over Docklands and South Bank. On a balmy summer evening it’s a great spot.
Food is always great here with ample Lebanese cuisine from the dips and bread , to the calamari , salads and of course the beef and chicken kebabs and lamb kofta. Staff are great here and the bar service fantastic.
Definitely worth a visit for any occasion
My first time trying Lebanese food was at Byblos Bar & Restaurant and it was a very pleasant experience. Food was delicious, unique, and well presented. Our waiter was friendly and provided a helpful description of what was being served. The restaurant itself was clean and well designed.
Had a brilliant meal at Byblos. Ordered the Beef Shawarma, Trio dip and fish skewers. The fish skewers especially tasted delicious and fresh. The Trio dip is a must if you come here. The shawarma was around $33 but had enough to fill 2 people and tasting great at the same time. I would definitely dine again.
My first time here and the food was just incredible. I only managed to take a photo of our starters, but rest assured the rest of our meal was absolutely amazing. Will definitely be back, and we will be recommending this place to everyone we know. Great stuff folks 👍
Nice variety of food , lovely venue , staff are very caring and quick response to customer needs , highly recommended to try 👍
I had my daughters Baptism in the space upstairs which was just beautiful. They was room for the kids to play and for all the adults to mingle. Nicole was so lovely and attentive to deal with. She made the booking process so easy and was all over every detail to ensure the day ran smoothly so we could just sit and enjoy the food while celebrating with our family. Like always the food was amazing and everyone that attending our event was raving on about the food. We also had such a lovely bartender and wait staff. Would definitely recommend . Thank you for allowing us to celebrate our girls special day with Byblos.
Absolutely beautiful food. The mixed grill platter was divine, all the meat and seafood cooked perfectly. My Mum loved the vine leaf rolls and her Dory Fillet was coated in a yummy ratatouille.
The service was fantastic and the decor of the restaurant is quite colourful, comfortable and inviting.
Lovely atmosphere, food and customer service. Food was beautiful and great price for a spot along the river. Will definitely go back next time we're in Melbourne.
It's been a long time between meals. Food did not disappoint. Great place, location, view, company, atmosphere. We loved ever mouthful of our banquet. The only reason I'm not giving 5 star is due to no water on the tabtable. We asked for water, which staff would come to our table and fill glasses. Given they were busy, we had to wait for glasses to be filled, and the chicken was dry. All other food in the banquet was fantastic. Great work to everyone.
