The Flavours of Byblos, Reimagined for a Captivating New Season at Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay

Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay’s beachfront Lebanese restaurant, Byblos, has reopened after a summer break, presenting a refreshed concept for guests.

The venue now boasts an expanded terrace with panoramic sea views, a newly‑crafted menu that gives classic Lebanese dishes a contemporary twist, and a range of signature non‑alcoholic cocktails.

Chef Tony El Khoury, who grew up in Zahle, has designed a selection of plates meant for sharing. Highlights include cold appetizers such as Eggplant Raheb, Labneh Makdous, and Fattah vine leaves; a Halloumi salad with rocket, pomegranate and braided cheese; hot mezze like Freekeh Shrimp and Kebbeh Short Ribs in BBQ sauce with pistachio; main courses such as Kebbeh Bell Labban; and desserts like Halawet El Jebn filled with Qishta.

New mocktails – Pink Lychee and Mango Delight – have been added to complement the food.

Byblos will also host themed culinary evenings. The first series, Barbecue Nights, will feature live cooking stations offering lamb chop, seabass, shish tawook, lamb tikka, assorted kebabs, and classic sweets such as Kunafa and Um Ali, accompanied by live entertainment.

Opening hours: Tuesday – Sunday, 18:00 – 00:00 (closed on Mondays). Reservations can be made by calling +973 1711 5500 or emailing [email protected].
