Your Go-To Destination for Mediterranean Food
How tradition, family, and fresh cooking came together in the heart of Syracuse.
How Byblos Mediterranean Cafe Began
Byblos Mediterranean Cafe opened in April 2010 with a goal to share real Lebanese cooking in downtown Syracuse. The recipes come from family traditions passed down through generations. Each dish is made from scratch, using fresh ingredients and simple methods. It’s a place built on tradition, care, and a love for real Mediterranean food.
Inspired by the City of Byblos
The name comes from the ancient city of Byblos in Lebanon—one of the oldest cities in the world. Our name pays homage to one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world—founded around 5000 BC. Just like its rich history, our food tells a story of tradition, culture, and timeless taste.
What Makes Byblos Special
Byblos is known for its homemade meals, vegetarian-friendly options, and casual, family-style setting. Dishes like gyros, falafel, and tabbouleh are cooked fresh every day. With vegan choices, health-conscious plates, and bold, simple flavors, there’s something for everyone. It’s honest food made with purpose.
