This cozy French restaurant and wine bar is first class all the way. Located just off the busy 5th Ave, it's a quaint escape from the hustle and bustle. Owner Sylvie, has successfully managed to carve her French niche into the Playa del Carmen dinning scene.

Step into Byblos dinning room and you may think you've crossed the Atlantic. The flowing white linen and low candlelight scream French romance. Sylvie's staff is professional and will stop at nothing to ensure you enjoy your dinning experience.

Some of Byblos elegant dishes include Duck Foie Gras sautéed with vegetables and cider and served on a bed of apples. Escargot and French onion soup also top the list of favorite French delights. The Dorado fillet in a white wine cream sauce with shrimp speaks for itself. Lobster medallions served with a creamy ginger sauce is a taste you won't soon forget.

Enjoy dinning at Byblos in the evenings with air conditioning from 6 pm to 1am.

Excellent French cuisine with the ambiance to go with it.
