The story
Byblos Sur Mer has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, placing it among Abu Dhabi’s most celebrated Lebanese restaurants. Located on the Marina Walk at the InterContinental Abu Dhabi, the restaurant offers a refined yet welcoming take on authentic Lebanese cuisine.
The two-level dining room pairs sleek interior design with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the marina. Guests can choose to dine indoors, where live entertainment adds a lively undercurrent, or step onto the terrace for a meal with a view. There, the sea breeze carries the aroma of charcoal-grilled meats and the faint chalky smoke of shisha.
The menu centres on traditional Lebanese specialities: grilled meats and mezze platters built from the same techniques that have defined the cuisine for generations. A chilled glass of arak is the natural companion to the meal, whether you’re sharing a spread of hummus, tabbouleh, and kibbeh or tackling a plate of grilled lamb chops.
Byblos Sur Mer is equally suited to leisurely lunches in the sun and evening dinners that stretch late into the night. The atmosphere is polished but relaxed, helped by the stylish décor and the ever-present hum of conversation. With its Michelin recognition and prime spot on the water, it remains a benchmark for Lebanese cuisine in the capital.
