Best Tapas Restaurants in Bay Harbor Islands

I met up with friends. I hadn’t seen in over six years and the service, ambience and general experience was amazing. Enrique, the server, did an amazing job and was very personable. I will definitely be going back!

Great food, service, and ambience. Overall very positive experience!! We will be back!

We were welcomed to the restaurant by the hostesses warm smile. We had some last minute adds to our reservation and the hostess was very accommodating. The waitress was really attentive and provided helpful recommendations. The waitress did interrupt our conversation once which is always annoying but this seems to be common at every restaurant here. From then on she and the other staff of Byblos were extremely attentive to our needs. The food was absolutely amazing. This has been my favorite meal of miami thus far. I have been to byblos once before but this time was even better. For appetizers we had spanish octopus, duck kibbeh, and the wontons. I didn’t try the wontons but was told they were the best. I loved the Duck and the octopus and couldn’t choose a favorite. For main courses we had bronzino, NY strip steak, lamb chops, with sides of black truffle rice and carrots. I loved each one of these and couldn’t choose a favorite. Everything was served hot, cooked to perfection, and very flavorful, not to mention perfectly spiced and salted. For dessert we had baklava cheese cake. I really wanted a warm piece or two of baklava so I picked this as the next best thing. It was also delicious but I recommend they consider adding baklava to the menu. I am lactose intolerant and I noticed most of the desserts had dairy.

they have an amazing new menu that had several delicious options. We shared the spread platter and the chicharron for apps. We had the Ribeye kebab and their Branzino with a side of their crispy brussel sprouts. all was so good. I will happy return. great place on the beach that a local can enjoy. 

It’s been many years since we’ve been in Miami. Tapas 26 is even better than I remember. Maybe the best food I have ever had had!
