Byblos, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, has a culinary history that dates back thousands of years. With its rich history and location on the Mediterranean coast, Byblos offers an eclectic mix of flavors combining traditional Lebanese recipes with influences from various civilizations that have occupied the region, including the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Ottomans, and French. The city’s proximity to the sea ensures a fresh catch for its seafood dishes, while its fertile land provides an abundance of fruits, vegetables, and herbs that play a central role in the local cuisine.
Note: For vegetarians and those with dietary restrictions, most Lebanese dishes can be easily adjusted upon request at restaurants. It's always recommended to communicate your preferences to the restaurant staff.
