Byblos Sur Mer at InterContinental Abu Dhabi will treat guests to the most exclusive Lebanese dining experience in the capital

InterContinental Abu Dhabi announced the launch of its latest gastronomic experience today: Byblos Sur Mer. Pairing tradition and modernity, Byblos Sur Mer celebrates the best of Lebanese cuisine in a chic and stylish waterfront setting.

Located in the hotel’s private marina, Byblos Sur Mer will transport guests to the ancient capital of the Phoenician coast, with a taste of the finest Lebanese delicacies. Mastered by specialised chefs, the menu at Byblos Sur Mer promises an exquisite selection of flavours with mezzeh grills, delectable marinades and exquisite Lebanese sweets. Currently open for lunch, sundowners and dinner, the restaurant will also open for breakfast in the coming months.

“We want diners to experience the best of Lebanese cuisine, and for this reason our team is led by experts in their craft,” said Ivor Prestwood, General Manager of InterContinental Abu Dhabi.

Byblos Sur Mer, translated to English as ‘Byblos by the Seaside’, will delight visitors with its charming atmosphere and stylish decor reminiscent of traditional Phoenician citadels. Adding to the heart-warming ambiance, guests will also taste fresh baking from the onsite Lebanese bread baker.

“At InterContinental Abu Dhabi we are constantly bringing together the elegance and sophistication of the modern world with world-class traditional flavours,” said Ivor Prestwood, General Manager of InterContinental Abu Dhabi. “That is what Byblos Sur Mer is all about.”

The 300 seat restaurant is set over two floors. The ground floor and terrace will be the exclusive dining areas, where guests will be transported to the coast of Byblos and able to enjoy the magnificent seaside view. The second floor will host Byblos Sur Mer’s lounge bar where singers and performers will entertain guests throughout the evening.

“Byblos Sur Mer is one of the most exciting new offerings in Abu Dhabi’s culinary scene,” Prestwood concluded.

InterContinental Abu Dhabi is an iconic landmark in the heart of the UAE’s capital, located just a short drive away from the bustling downtown, the Abu Dhabi International Exhibition Centre and Abu Dhabi International Airport.

The hotel includes 390 rooms and suites as well as a wide selection of F&B outlets where guests can relax, rejuvenate and refuel.
