Byblos can be credited with introducing the coastal Mediterranean dining experience into the culinary consciousness of New Orleanians. Named for an ancient Phoenician settlement, believed to be one of the oldest continually inhabited in the world, Byblos offers an incomparable dining experience that combines international flavors with a warm, friendly ambiance. Ancient cultures, from the Romans and Greeks, to the Crusaders and modern-day Lebanese have all added their savory spices and specialty meats to forge a cuisine unique in the world. Byblos offers the largest selection of specialty lamb dishes in the city, from kabobs to chops to racks.along with fresh, house-made hummos, shawarma and seafood dishes.
Nutrition researchers have provided ample proof that adhering to a traditional Mediterranean diet, rich in healthy olive oils, garlic, spices and herbs leads to a notably lower incidence of chronic disease. The higher life expectancy in populations bordering the Mediterranean Basin has also been verified by numerous studies.
