Byblós Melbourne

The official menu labels individual dishes as GF (gluten free) and GFO (gluten free option available). These labels cover a substantial portion of the menu, including many mezze, salads, and grill items. A footer on the menu states: 'all dishes are not suitable for those with an anaphylactic allergy, due to the potential traces of allergens in the working environment and supplied ingredients.' The restaurant does not mention a dedicated fryer or prep area, and it holds no gluten-free accreditation. This is a situation with a marked menu and a shared kitchen.

Byblós Melbourne marks vegetarian dishes with a V on the official menu. This includes dips, salads, mezze, and grills such as the Trio of Dips, Labneh Bi Toum, Halloumi Salad, Grilled Halloumi, Batata Harra, Rekakat, Pumpkin Kebbi, and the Vegetarian grill skewer. Other listings also mention a variety of vegetarian-friendly options. A shared kitchen is used, and no dedicated prep area is indicated.

The official menu marks dishes V+ for vegan, among them Hommous, Baba Ghanouj, Tabouleh, Falafel, Fatayer, Vine Leaves, Marinated Olives and Pickles, Plain Rice, and Fries. Multiple vegan options are clearly available across starters, salads and sides. No dedicated vegan prep area or accreditation is evidenced. The shared kitchen caveat applies.

The official menu marks dishes containing nuts with N (e.g. Hommous Awarma, Fatayer, Quail, Samak Harra, Lamb Sambusek, Kebbi Traditional, Makanek, Shish Barak, Seayadeyeh). This allows nut-avoiders to identify which dishes contain nuts, but the menu footer warns of potential traces of allergens throughout the working environment, making this unsuitable for anaphylactic nut allergy. No dedicated nut-free prep area is mentioned.

The menu lists several fish and seafood options, including Samak Harra, Samak Bizri, Samak Meshwi, Calamar Pannne, Skewered Prawns, and Seayadeyeh, as well as meat dishes. This confirms that pescatarians have choices. There is no dedicated marking system for pescatarian dishes. The allergen context described earlier applies here. Meat, including pork, is served throughout the menu. The Makanek is flagged as containing pork.

The official menu includes a DFO (dairy-free option) marking on at least the Vegetarian grill skewer. Many dishes (e.g. Hommous, Baba Ghanouj, Falafel, Tabouleh) appear dairy-free by ingredient, and vegan (V+) items are dairy-free by definition. However, dairy is widely present across the menu (labneh, halloumi, yoghurt, feta, mozzarella, ice cream). No dedicated dairy-free prep area; shared kitchen caveat applies.
