Across the reviews, Byblos Le Petit Café comes across as a warm, cozy spot with a calm, sunny atmosphere, a décor that blends bohemian charm with Middle Eastern touches, and a menu that offers a wide range of Persian and vegetarian options, plus gluten-free bread on request. The food is praised for bold flavors and nostalgic touches, with many diners raving about the feta omelette for brunch, the variety of egg-based pies, the traditional Iranian breakfast, dizi, and dips like hummus and beet spreads, with several dishes described as memorable. The staff and service are frequently noted as friendly and helpful, though several reviews flag slower service during busy times, occasional missteps with timing or table management, and cleanliness or upkeep issues in some visits. The venue is described as both a hidden gem and a great place to share plates with friends or family, especially in good weather when windows open to create an airy terrace, while winter seating is described as cozy. Price points are described as reasonable by some and overpriced by others, and a few reviews caution that expectations can vary and that the experience can be inconsistent. Overall, the consensus is that Byblos Le Petit Café delivers a distinctive, comforting Persian-influenced dining vibe with opportunities to explore a broad menu, but visitors should be prepared for occasional service delays and a few maintenance flaws.
Such nice people working here. The atmosphere is very calm & sunny. & the food is amazing with lots of vegetarian options & also they provide gluten free bread if needed
We had Sunday brunch. The standard breakfast menu includes a beverage, bread of some sort, jam & potentially eggs. You can however order from anywhere in the menu including a variety of egg-based pies like quiche & prepared spreads like hummus, eggplant or beet-based concoctions that come with different types of bread for dipping. Gluten free bread & pita is available on request. The dishes were delicious though simple & more filling than they look. This is a good place to go for a group to share a few different dishes & get a good sampling.

If you're used to Western breakfasts like omelets, English ham & sausage, & Mon coco etc, try a traditional Iranian breakfast.
Byblos Restaurant is named after a city in present-day Libya with a 7,000-year history, once ruled by the Persian Empire.
Naan, feta cheese, dill herbs, olives, & radish, along with a cup of sweet Persian tea, make up the essential Persian breakfast. The warm, freshly baked bread & naan, paired with homemade jam from an Iranian mother, & the aromatic flavors of ginger & rose petals, create a rich & complex flavor.
Add scrambled eggs between pita bread for a complete & luxurious Iranian breakfast.
A favourite of mine for the last 20 years. Their signature dish for breakfast or brunch is the feta omelette. Served with sweet bread & your choice of delicate jams.
This Persian hidden gem!!! Omg I tried'dizzi' & it was amazing!! (Dizzi only on Sundays apparently) The dizzi tastes like my grandma's Dizzi back in the days. The bread was also fresh.
I also tried their appetzires with beetroot & spinach & it was soooo good.
Would definitely go back & 100% recommended!
Thanks to Arshia & Ms. Hemela for their hospitality.
1. clockwise: sweet bread & pita, unlimited persian tea with 3 different types of sugar cubes presented in a beautiful little brass dish..., extraneous side of feta, honey, assorted yoghurts. & an unpictured tomato onion feta omelette 2. assorted dips + bowl of coffee everything was delicious, the tomato omelette especially so but probably because it reminds me so much of chinese tomato egg but with a different texture. & i love how the entire wall is completely open window lined with so many plants!!! perfect for people watching & enjoying summer ai
One of my favorite place to eat in the city! Been a customer for the last 10years (mostly for their breakfast). This place keep its welcoming charm & authentic delicious Persian food. Family owned, it really keeps a unique home feeling as soon as you get in. My favorite is their feta omelette & their rose-pistachio jam with their bread.

The fluffy feta omelette is delicious! Warm bread & a good variety of jams. The service was friendly & kind. We had two different teas & both were great! Will come back for lunch & dinner.
Such a cute & pleasant local resto...Byblos serves Persian style cuisine for breakfast, lunch & dinner...organized in their menu by chapters (a very nice concept). The decor in this two room bistro is somewhat simplistic but gets the job done; & you are there to try some interesting takes on dishes that you probably would not normally have had the opportunity to experience. We were a large group & ordered a wide selection from the First Chapter of the menu: Fried Eggs with Dill (very good), Feta Omelet (good...a bit on the salty side), Date Omelet (excellent...a mix of sweet & savory that we have not experienced before), & the Feta/Halva/Sweet Bread plate (very good...nice assortment of jams to apply to the breads & pitas allow for a lot of experimentation). All the meals include tea or coffees (all of which were very good). NOTE: The omelets are not prepared in a typical way & are very runny & loose (see picture for reference...so be prepared). Service was excellent...super friendly & informative with the meal being served quite quickly even though the restaurant was almost a peak capacity. Certainly worth a visit...& after you meal, take a stroll along this section of Laurier to check out the many unique local shops. Enjoy!
I went to this restaurant many years ago & had a memorable impression of it for supper.
Unfortunately when I went back this year for breakfast I was extremely disappointed.
The food were blend & the service was mediocre. For the price we paid, the food were not that complex.
We were seated in the corner of the restaurant where we got forgotten. We never got our basket of bread & confiture.
The one thing I like were the ambiance of the restaurant.
