I met the owner outside the restaurant after a very fabulous meal that included brie, a french onion soup, a shrimp pasta for my wife, and a perfectly seared (to my taste) Sesame Tuna. He was a very gracious Italian man who opened up this restaurant with his french wife. Let me tell you right now, that the french onion... more

This adorable french bistro is all decorated in white with little white lights and candlelight. The food was amazing. We had the New Zealand rack of lamb, Grouper Provencal, Caprese salad, French Pate and a delicious Chilean merlot. Our waiter was very attentive but not intrusive. The prices were consisent with the quality of food and service. I would highly... more

Living in Playa you tend to find something good and stick with it. Byblos is a great restaurant, the menu is long with many different options and the setting is very nice.

We had an amazing time at Byblos. Everything was superb from the food, wine list, service, ambiance, etc. If you travel to Playa, you owe it to yourself to have a nice romantic dinner at Byblos (at the end of Calle Corazon by the 5th avenue). We tried the escargots and the foie gras among others, and everything was perfect.... more
