This is the first time I've been here but I was impressed with the service. We were served by a very attentive waitress. The food was good value for money. As we were going to The museum this was an ideal location for lunch. I will be back.

Quiet midweek evening visit, but the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Food ordered at our pace and was brought to table quickly, and hot 👍. The restaurant has a relaxing friendly feel to it, open street corner location with huge windows but still felt cosy. A lovely enjoyable family meal experience.

It was ok. Had a steak which was fine but the soup was more starch than corn and had a hair in it! The Apple pie for dessert was also ok only. Pity given the good location, cleanliness and atmosphere was good too.

I tried to reserve a table but didn't receive a confirmation email. However, luckily we found a table. I enjoyed the fish and chips, although there was rather too much batter on the fish. The drinks were reasonably priced. Overall, it was good.

Food was decent, Place was infested with flies and staff need to find something to do other then stand at the bar and chat. Also need to not spray cleaning product on tables when people are trying to eat...that was the height of rudeness...only thing saving this review was the food tbh

Lovely food and a lovely atmosphere. The only criticism I have is that the drinks took a long time to be served, particularly soft drinks which we found to be odd as there didn't appear to be a reason for it.

Biblos is a cool place to enjoy food drinks and music. Staff is welcoming, friendly, they give you advice on what specialty is there, whether a gourmet burger, an enjoyable starter or a craft beer. One of my favourites and it's just a few steps from royal mile. Highly recommend
