About

Byblos Le Petit Café focuses on the authentic preparation of traditional Persian recipes centered around saffron-infused rice, tender grilled skewers, and slow-cooked stews. The menu highlights a variety of vegetable-forward dishes, incorporating fresh herbs, legumes, and dried fruits to balance bold aromatic profiles. Patrons encounter a setting defined by cultural artwork and vibrant textile accents that mirror the rich heritage of Iranian culinary traditions. The kitchen prioritizes the use of high-quality proteins seasoned with classic spices like turmeric, sumac, and cinnamon to ensure depth of flavor in every serving. Each plate emphasizes careful assembly and natural ingredients rather than complex fusion techniques or modern culinary trends. This establishment remains a consistent destination for individuals seeking genuine regional flavors served in a straightforward, culturally immersive environment that honors long-standing Middle Eastern cooking methods.

Petit café Iranien chaleureux & bien décoré. Excellent choix de plat typiquement Perse.

I miss this place & came back to leave a review.. on the weekend sometimes is busy so expect a wait.. I will definitely be coming back again. It's an Iranian café & an amazing spot for brunch. If you're Levantine, you will especially love it. The decor is beautiful, cozy, & very welcoming. I really liked the feta omelette ( the best on the menu) & the jam was amazing as well. The yogurt & beetroot dishes were also great! 😊

Sympa cafe. Ma femme a bien aime l'omelette feta. On aurait aime des pains plus frais ou fait maison. Le service etait correct meme si la serveuse ne connaissait pas le plat du jou

I've eaten here twice now & it has been delicious both times. I went on a busy day my first trip, & we put our names on the list & wandered around. The cafe is situated in a beautiful neighborhood, so it is easy to pass the time. The second time was a quiet day & we were sat immediately. The Iranian tea is amazing & beautifully served, & my favorite food is the feta omelet.

I love this place as a cafe strictly. The food is, as most people have mentioned in reviews, lackluster. Good chocolate cardamom cake, but I probably wouldn't have supper here again. You really want to stay for the atmosphere, but the service is always terrible. After returning multiple times, it seems the staff begins to ignore you after coming by once, & will not clear your table until you leave...dirty plates with bones were left on our table after we were done eating & were not cleared for 30+ minutes even though we wanted to stay for tea afterwards. Consistently poor service & rude waitstaff, unfortunately.

Ce resto a bien changé au fil du temps. Petites portions avec un mauvais mais très mauvais goût, le café imbuvable & la propreté du resto laisse à désirer. De plus, les propriétaires ne sont pas réactifs aux différents commentaires que nous envoyons tous. C'est terminé pour nous, nous irons ailleurs.

Nous étions 4 convives, un dimanche pour le brunch & l'hôtesse française a oublié notre présence (a fait passer une autre tablée avant nous) alors que nous attendions depuis 20min

Ils nous on mis à une table où les serveurs nous frôlaient toujours…

Les plats sont arrivés désynchronisés & 2 des convives avaient quasi terminé lorsque j'ai demandé un suivi pour les plats manquants.

2e oubli…

les 2 plats d'omelettes au fêta restantes sont alors arrivés. On s'entend que lapparence & la préparation des 2 assiettes n'auraient pas du prendre 20min pour completer la tablee. C'etait une apparence de vomi/ bon gout toutefois.

Ils n'ont pas desservi les assiettes & tasses vides durant notre presence ni demandé si nous aimions ou avions besoin de quoique ce soit (rechaud café ou autre)

Je met des etoiles pour la forme & la renommée. Total fail
