#Abu_ElZulof is a fine dining & the best brunch restaurant in Montreal, our mission is to WOW people everyday and bring back forgotten traditional flavors and vibes ??
Abu el Zulof receives praise for delicious, fresh flavors and generous portions, with many reviews highlighting authentic Middle Eastern dishes, welcoming service, and a lively, inviting atmosphere that sometimes features live music and a belly dancer. The experience is noted as great for sharing mezze and family meals, with several diners calling the prices worth it for the quality and portions, while others feel the value is not quite there and describe the bills as overpriced for the portion sizes. Service quality varies from warm and attentive to slow and inconsistent, and a few guests mention long waits for appetizers or for desserts, especially during busy times. Some reviews single out standout items such as fattoush, tabbouleh, mansaf, kebabs, kibbeh nayyeh, and muhammara, while a few dishes are described as dry, oily, or bland, leading to mixed impressions. Overall, Abu el Zulof is regarded as a strong option for authentic Arab cuisine in Montreal with memorable ambiance and solid flavors, though visitors should be aware of potential fluctuations in service and value.
Une superbe découverte pour les amateurs de cuisine authentique. L'ambiance est chaleureuse, élégante & tellement accueillante.
La nourriture est tout simplement incroyable : tout était frais, savoureux & parfaitement assaisonné. Les mezzés sont délicieux, les grillades tendres & pleines de goût, & les desserts… wow. On goûte vraiment la qualité & la tradition dans chaque plat.
Le service mérite aussi 10/10. Le personnel est attentionné, rapide & très gentil, avec d'excellentes recommandations.
Très belle expérience du début à la fin. Personnel accueillant, nourriture fraîche & savoureuse, portions généreuses & endroit propre. On sent la qualité & le professionnalisme. J'y retournerai avec plaisir.

I had a bad experience with this restaurant. I went with my son. My son's order came fast, while my order took a very long time, until he finished his food. He complained that the bread wasn't fresh & was just microwaved. My food quantity was less, & it didn't taste fresh. That night, I got gasteric distreas, & the same happened with my son. We only had a late lunch at that restaurant & didn't eat anything else.
Amazing restaurant, food was delicious, dessert amazing. Ice cream with cotton candy & pomegranate molasses. Service was great & attentive. Will plan on eating here next time we are in Montreal:
We liked the fattoush salad
But Shish taouk was overcooked &
Mansaf was mediocre.
the worst part was very steep price for
such a mediocre food & small portions
Manque d'hygiène, tout est sale … nappes toilettes table sol …. Tout
Trop trop cher pour ce que c'est !
Ils incitent les gens à laisser des avis positifs.
Nourriture pas fraîches & de mauvaise qualité !
Never never again

Food was authentic, sooooo tasty & portions were more than enough!! Everything was so cute & well thought out: decorations, serving dishes, table cloths, etc. & the music was a nice touch (& at a good volume). Ola was amazing - she was so attentive, patient with my little knowledge, & offered great suggestions (the bouza was so worth it). Hands down the best levantine restaurant I've been to in the city so far.

Had an amazing experience at Abu Zulof! ✨
The food is authentic, fresh, & full of flavor, every dish was perfectly seasoned & very generous.
The service really stood out, a big thank you to Ola, an exceptional waitress, attentive, friendly, & very professional. She made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Definitely a place I highly recommend, I'll be coming back!
