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.
Experience très irrégulière, attente très longue une fois assis à l'intérieur, nos plats sont arrivés en ordre très décousu, un bol d'humus sans les accompagnement commandé, les Pirojkis froids contrairement à d'habitude, la siupe qui avait été commandé en entré qui arrive après, un long moment plus tard l'omelette au feta est arrivé longtemps après que nous ayons mangé les accompagnement, ensuite nos avons commandé des desserts qui ne sont pas arrivés après plus de 30 minutes d'attente, on a fini par demander l'addition pour pouvoir partir & annuler la seconde commande. Une grande file d'attente à l'extérieur, notre table de 4 aurait pu être libérer pour d'autres si le service avait été adéquat. La nourriture étaient

Im definitely coming back. the prices are really good for the quality. the meat puree & the rose jam were so good i shoulda ask to bring some togo! very kind staff with such good attitudes even when they are so busy!!
highly recommend!
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.
Nous avons passé un excellent moment au Byblos !
Le repas était absolument délicieux. Nous avons goûté deux plats principaux : les boulettes de boeuf, savoureuses & bien assaisonnées, & un plat d'agneau qui était particulièrement fondant, tendre & délicatement parfumé. Un vrai régal !
L'ambiance du restaurant était chaleureuse & conviviale, ce qui a vraiment contribué à rendre notre soirée encore plus agréable.
Un grand merci à toute l'équipe - nous reviendrons avec plaisir !
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.
Great spot to bring your laptop or a card game & some friends & to spend the day! In the summer their windows open fully into an open air terasse & in the winter you can tuck yourself into a cozy bench with cushions & Persian tea!
They're not the fastest service so it's more the spot to head when you're not in a rush, but the food is delicious & the decor & ambiance is really special too.
Pleasant little spot with Persian & other middle eastern style tasty delights. Great'date' spot. Best to visit in late spring, summer & early autumn. Lamb, chicken, egglplant,'koukou', yogurt dips, hummus, etc....all done right. Friendly service. Bring a Greek Goddess. Leave the financial vampire Lebanese Princess wannabes at home where they belong. 😉👌
