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.

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! 😊

On a eu une mauvaise impression de ce resto. Le serveuses ont pas été assez accueillantes & on nous a jamais demandé si on voulait qq chose ou si tout était à notre goût etc. (ex. Notre serveuse n'a jamais rempli nos verres d'eau pendant notre présence).
En parlant des repos, tous les plats ont été froids & j'avais l'impression qu'ils avaient été réchauffés dans le micro-ondes & avaient perdu la chaleur rapidement.
Je sais que nous comme iraniens sommes pas décontractés par la bouffe mais on s'attendait un bon service & des plats de haute qualité culinaire tel qu'on mérite. Merci !

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.

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.
