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.

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.

Depuis quelques années cet endroit est sale.
Regardez le bas des murs, les plinthes.

Que dire des salles de toilettes…
Vraiment négligé.

Ça me coupe l'appétit !

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. 😉👌
