About Byblos:
Tucked away among the bustling streets of South Beach, Byblos Miami has been welcoming guests since its opening in 2015 with its bold take on Eastern Mediterranean cuisine. The restaurant’s menu, curated by a team of culinary experts, effortlessly blends traditional flavors with modern techniques, creating dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious. Byblos offers a dining experience that transports guests to the heart of the Mediterranean right here in Miami.
What to Get:
Start your meal off with the Eggplant Kibbeh, a delicate blend of zucchini flower and baharat, enveloped in a crispy chickpea batter and served with creamy house yogurt. This dish is a perfect balance of textures and flavors, offering a light yet flavorful start to your evening. Adventurous diners will want to try the Lamb Ribs, tenderly cooked to perfection and bursting with traditional Middle Eastern spices. For our entrees, the Middle Eastern Fried Chicken was a standout. The perfectly fried chicken is paired with tahini za’atar and a side of hot sauce, creating a satisfying dish full of bold, fiery notes. If seafood is more your style, the Atlantic Salmon is a must. You can tell it has been carefully cooked to retain its moisture, but what really elevates this dish is the touch of spice from the harissa as well as a refreshing citrus yogurt that complements the lightness of the fish. The Green Beans, cooked in brown butter, drizzled with garlic toum, and sprinkled with marcona almonds, were beautifully adorned with edible flower petals, adding both flavor and color to the meal. For dessert, the Stuffed Baklava is the ultimate indulgence with its layers of flaky pastry filled with mint ice cream, pistachio nougat, and dark chocolate, making it a rich and satisfying end to your meal. A final recommendation is to pair these dishes with the Rose Gulab cocktail, a fragrant mix of Ketel One vodka, house-made pomegranate syrup, fresh lemon juice, and a splash of rosewater, offering a refreshing and unique pairing with your meal.
Reason to Go:
Byblos Miami delivers an unparalleled Eastern Mediterranean dining experience in an upscale, vibrant atmosphere that feels both exotic and inviting.
