    Definitely worth a visit! Service was 5 star, food was OUT OF THIS WORLD DELICIOUS! I am not normally a dessert kinda person but even I had dessert today. Can highly recommend all their food! Great atmosphere too.

    Great atmosphere restaurant with Turkish style seating around. Service was amazing and food was really quick and good quality. They also validate parking for the underground carpark.

    Just passing through on my first visit to Brisbane. Wine was ‘perfect’ temperature (a sign of attention to detail). Food was impeccable, and the service outstanding. I had an incredible experience. This will be my default place during my business trips to Brizzy.

    Get the negative out of the way first. The place is noisy, but not much they can do about that. The lady that took our order did it all by memory, impressive, till she forgot our drinks. The table at the end of the meal took a little longer to clear than I would have liked. The positive, great food well cooked and plenty of it. For me the snails were a standout. Would have no trouble recommending, or going back to try a few more other dishes. For me it was reasonably priced, considering restaurants of this quality. Well done guys.

    Food was good. Drinks were cold. Staff were friendly. However the service is a tad slow (or it was the night we went). But would definitely go back.

    Food was delicious, especially the Batata Harra. Staff were fabulous. Tea was fragrant and a perfect end to an authentic food experience.

    Amazing food and service. The staff were really helpful and recommended the platter for two that could be made for three people. It was just the right amount of food for us and was delicious!!

    Lovely Portside Lebanese restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed the platter for two, which came with pastries, grilled skewers, tabouli and super tasty hommus. We treated ourselves to the mocktails - Don's Day Off with the passionfruit is the best! The restaurant does get a bit loud like other reviews say, and the service was a bit slim - the team seemed run off their feet and it was a bit hard to get their attention at times, but they were very friendly and trying their best. First time dining here, so it was nice to have the platter and try a bit of everything. Now we know what our top picks are, we will be back to eat a little less main so we can fit the delicious sounding desserts in. Thanks for a lovely evening Team Byblós!

    Byblos is our local Sunday afternoon session venue and the last two visits have been disappointing in terms of service. After following up my cocktail 3 times over an hour and a half I ended up cancelling my order and walking out. I honestly find the staff nice enough but when you look around the bar and restaurant, cleanliness and sense of urgency to serve customers is underwhelming. The food and atmosphere (mainly created by the live performers) is great but I am struggling to find more reasons to go back anytime soon.

    Amazing dining experience all round. Great service, and excellent food. If it weren't for poor weather it would have been a lovely view of the river, too.

    Absolutely amazing experience. Ordered a lot of food and everything was so rich with flavours we cleared up every plate. Table service was on point and loved the rum infused dessert special. Orientation of the place was also beautiful. We are definitely coming back.

    Delicious food. Amazing service. We had the banquet for 4 people and there was more than enough food for all of us. They even catered for one person being veggie. Mocktails were delicious! Overall very very good and would go again 10/10

    Had a lovely lunch here for a friend's birthday! The staff were fantastic and very attentive. Everything we ate was delicious, as were the drinks. The staff even organised a special set menu for our large group. 4 stars for atmosphere as the inconvenient sun made it very cold outside in the shade of the high rise; I'd recommend a jumper or two in cool seasons!

  • 5/5 Sop K. 1 year ago on Google
    Always great food and atmosphere here. We've dined here many times.

  • 5/5 Monica W. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was amazing, so fresh, and so many different flavours. One can either eat each by itself or eat it together to create a mouth watering explosion of flavour!

  • 5/5 Houssain G. 9 months ago on Google
    Great atmosphere by the river, with very good food and service. Batata Harra and Shish Tawook are a must try.

  • 5/5 Naosha C. 2 years ago on Google
    Highest quality of staff, friendliness and service I've had in a long time. High end. The food presentation and flavours were exceptional. Compliments to the Chef 😊

    Beautiful, simple food, well presented in a lovely atmosphere. Lady who delivered my grilled halumi was so friendly. Thankyou. Wine was crisp and cold on a hot day by the river. Just perfect.

    Byblos Bar & Restaurant in Brisbane is a hidden gem offering an authentic taste of Lebanon, all against the backdrop of the picturesque Brisbane River. The menu is a delightful journey through Lebanese culture, with generous portions that feel like a warm Mediterranean hug. As someone who appreciates a good meal, I can't help but admire the portion sizes - they're so generous that you'll leave with a satisfied heart and a full belly. The staff balances attentiveness and giving you space perfectly. It's the ideal place for an authentic dining experience with incredible views. A must-visit that excels in the Lebanese cuisine game! Yummo

    I was treated to a special meal here, a bunch of different vegan meals in a tapas style and it was all beautiful. The atmosphere was perfect and the service of a high standard. I definitely recommend a visit.

  • 5/5 Cüneyt G. 7 months ago on Google
    I had a lovely dinner tonight with my family in Byblós. The food was very delicious. We ordered three dips, skewers from each type and mixed desert at the end. All was great, surprisingly my favourite was vegetarian kebab although I am a meat lover. The service was also awesome. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Ashton G. 7 months ago on Google
    Now here is a winner! Byblos, a Middle Easten eatery that boasts fantastic food, a great view and intimate dinning to compliment the local area of Hamilton. A great place to take a first date, share a meal with a best mate or to simply sit outside and watch the air ripple off the top of the water with a glass of wine! Highly recommended - Please pay this place a visit!

  • 4/5 Hayden A. 7 months ago on Google
    Nice restaurant, Very friendly staff. The food was good. The atmosphere was good, too. Recommend a visit 👌.

  • 4/5 Chris H. 7 months ago on Google
    Great spot by the river and the inside has a good atmosphere. The service has been a bit average on a few occasions, a bit slow even when empty, but always friendly. 9 out of 10 times the food is great. Really flavoursome. We have been disappointed a couple times when the portion sizes seemed more like appetisers instead of mains, when compared with all the other times. Overall great place

  • 4/5 Rachelle p. 5 months ago on Google
    This was a delectable experience with a stunning view if the river. Found it on google maps. The staff were friendly and helpful, they knew the menu very well. The food was delicious, great sharing platters, had you going back for more despite being full. Lots of vegetarian options. The bar was a piece of art, cocktails superb. Will definitely visit again, next time we are in Brisbane. Thanks

    Excellent service and a good ambience. Overall wonderful, authentic lebanese food. However, for the prices and menu suggestions (particularly regarding 'shared' meals) portion sizes could be larger. I comprehend this could be a regular cultural apportionment, but coming from a European background with somewhat similar cuisine that does not seem to be an appropriate excuse.

  • 5/5 Zil S. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best bars in Brisbane. The cocktail list is a one of a kind featuring classic and signature cocktails - highly recommended the violet martini I promise your tastebuds will thank you. Beautiful inside high table and booth style seating options and outside seating with the view of the Brisbane river. The food is to die for with a vibrant Lebanese menu you won’t find anywhere else in town that won’t break the bank. I can’t thank Elijah enough for looking after me every time I visit you are truly an asset to Byblos.

  • 5/5 Sean H. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a ball at Byblos. We sat outside and the weather was perfect, not cold, not windy, just a very pleasant Brisbane Sunday afternoon. I have to say the food was awesome. My wife and I naively ordered the platter for two and a starter dip. Way too much food, but so delicious we just had to eat it. Not going to spoil it, but highly recommend the platter for two, its a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds. We will definitely be coming back.

  • 5/5 Julie Elisa V. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food and place is so good!! Can't wait to be back again there.

  • 5/5 Anna S. 2 years ago on Google
    Came here a few weeks ago. What a gem! Food tasted absolutely amazing. Prices are reasonable and staff was also really good. The food has so much flavour. Will definitely come back

  • 5/5 Alex L. 2 years ago on Google
    The food, service, drinks and atmosphere is always incredible. The hardest part of a visit is deciding which delicious dish to order (but you can take the easy option and order a platter for two or a banquet for bigger groups!). Do yourself a favour, and at least order the trio of dips and bread - you won't be disappointed!

  • 5/5 Charmaine C. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, fast and very friendly service. I'll definitely be back and I would definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 shane d. 3 years ago on Google
    Great service. Had an awesome time.

  • 3/5 Varun S. 2 years ago on Google
    Pros: Great options, fresh hummous, tasty food. Sitting outside was jst perfect, it does get a bit too loud inside if u want to have a conversation with ur people. Awarma was the winner for me! Must try! Cons: Its pricey for the portion sizing, everything feels like its carefully weighed (skewers), hence it gave me an incomplete feeling. I grew up in the Middle East where the chicken pieces where nice and generous while being cheap. Toum was too strong on the lemon but it could have been that specific batch.

  • 5/5 I 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful and comfortable sitting area on the river side, good customer service. Food are delicious! Had a good time with my family.

  • 5/5 Martin S. 2 years ago on Google
    Shared a mixed grill( choice of 4 meats) and a couple of sides with my companion. Food was cooked perfectly taste was fantastic and meat tender. Service was excellent. Bar made perfect whiskey sours. Great atmosphere. Nothing disappointed!.

  • 5/5 Odette S. 2 years ago on Google
    Came in just around 5 on a Wednesday. Attended to immediately and assisted with our food choices. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. The restaurant steadily filled up. Only downside was the pumpkin kibbeh, it wasn't pumpkin enough.

  • 5/5 Linda A. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic snails! Was surprised to see them as part of the Lebanese menu, but gave them a go. Garlicky and buttery. Definitely worth trying for those who enjoy escargot 🐌!! The skewers are well cooked, in particular the chicken. Tender on the skewer, not too dry. Dips were flavoursome. Only wished my appetite was bigger. Overall enjoyable experience apart from my date and I sat on the corner sofas seats, wish they matched and we ended up sitting on the same side. :)

  • 5/5 Michael G. 2 years ago on Google
    My wife and I dropped in here for dinner after reading all the 5 star reviews on here and we are glad to say it lives up to them all. We were so impressed with everything, food, service and the atmosphere were all top of their class. We will definitely be back with friends and family in tow.

  • 3/5 Samurai M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, tasty, fresh, good quality! Average service, staff is very friendly, but the bad timing for serving food, and the slow service didn’t allow us to have a satisfied experience with the food. Lovely ambiance, and great location.

  • 3/5 Mishari A. 2 years ago on Google
    Have eaten here a few times. The food is always good , however , it's so noisey that you can't have a sensible conversation. The other negative is the service. Sadly , every time we have been , it's been inattentive ( table not completely cleaned between courses), slow, occasionally lazy ( waiter couldn't be bothered stepping around table to set a dish down, instead trying to pass plate over guests heads) and forgetful. We had to ask multiple times at then end for the Lebanese coffee ( which took nearly 20mins to get ). I wouldn't recommend coming on the weekend if you are a family and / or you want to simply hear each other talk ( it's not family friendly and the noise is deafening at times ). Good to come with friends if you want a night out.

    Delicious food and really good service. The atmosphere and decor of the restaurant is really lovely 😊 Totally recommend!

  • 5/5 Widaad M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is my favourite Lebanese restaurant! Amazing food, view and atmosphere. If you’re looking to dress up a bit for dining this place is perfect and the food tastes amazing. I come here for dinner, lunch and even celebrated a few of my birthdays here. Highly recommend!
