#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 ??
Les avis sur Abu el Zulof convergent sur une expérience culinaire du Moyen-Orient, marquée par des saveurs authentiques et des portions généreuses, dans une ambiance chaleureuse et festive. La nourriture est décrite comme fraîche, bien travaillée et joliment présentée, avec des mezzes, des salades et des plats traditionnels comme le mansaf ou les grillades qui séduisent par leur goût riche et équilibré. Le service est largement salué pour sa gentillesse, son efficacité et sa capacité à conseiller, et l’accueil donne souvent l’impression d’être bienvenus dès l’entrée. L’ambiance est renforcée par des éléments de spectacle, musique live et danse du ventre, particulièrement appréciés lors des soirées, avec des conseils de réservation et parfois des frais additionnels pour les animations. Certains avis soulignent un rapport qualité-prix qui peut varier et des portions qui ne paraissent pas toujours à la hauteur du prix, ainsi que des écarts ponctuels dans le service ou dans certains plats comme le knafeh ou les frites. Globalement, l’expérience est décrite comme mémorable et recommandée, avec un cadre qui rappelle le Liban ou la Syrie et invite à revenir en famille ou entre amis.
For appetizers, we had the cheese samboosak as well as creamy hummus with fries & fresh tabbouleh - a perfect start to the meal. For the main dishes, we ordered mansaf, kebab karaz, & chicken with herbs - each one was flavorful, beautifully presented, & cooked to perfection. The mansaf was rich & authentic, the kebab karaz had the perfect balance of sweet & savory, & the herb chicken was so tender & aromatic.
To finish, we shared an Arabic ice cream plate with arabic cotton candy - not only was it a feast for the eyes, but also the perfect sweet ending to an amazing meal.
The service was attentive, & the atmosphere made us feel right at home. We'll definitely be coming back! Highly recommended.

Une superbe expérience du début à la fin ! Le service était chaleureux & attentionné, les plats savoureux & joliment présentés, & l'ambiance très agréable. Une adresse que je recommande vivement pour passer un bon moment & bien manger. J'y retournerai sans hésiter !Merci beaucoup Monsieur Elyes
We've now been to Abu El Zolof twice, & both times were a blast - but this past weekend was extra special as we chose to celebrate our friend's birthday there, & it was the perfect choice.
The place is spacious, clean, & beautifully set up for a lively night out. Right from the moment we walked in, the energy was great - you could feel that everyone was there to have a good time. The staff was welcoming, professional, & the service overall was smooth & attentive throughout the night.
They recently made a few changes to their set menu. Now it's $75 per person, & for that, you get a full mezza spread followed by BBQ kebab platters. Let me just say - the food was delicious. Every bite brought back familiar Lebanese flavors that felt both authentic & fresh.
We enjoyed everything from the fattoush, tabouli, hummus, baba ghanouj, & mhamara to the perfectly made kibbeh & wara2 3inab (stuffed grape leaves). These two classics were especially tasty - the kibbeh had that perfect crunch on the outside & was juicy inside, & the grape leaves were soft, tangy, & flavorful.
The grilled meats were also a hit - tender, juicy, & well-seasoned.
If I had to suggest anything, it would be to add a couple of hot mezza dishes (like soujouk, makanek, or rakakat) to make the menu feel even more complete & rich - especially for the price point. But that's just a suggestion; the overall quality of the food was excellent.
This is where Abu El Zolof really shines. The singer was absolutely amazing - great voice, engaging, & knew exactly how to get the crowd going. The atmosphere turned into a full-on celebration with everyone clapping, dancing, & singing along.
To top it off, they had a belly dancer, & she was incredible - full of energy & talent, really elevating the whole experience. It's clear that they put a lot of thought into the entertainment, & it makes all the difference.
Whether you're looking for a spot to celebrate something special or just want a night of good food, music, & dancing, Abu El Zolof delivers. We had such a great time that we're already thinking about going back again.
Highly recommend this place for a fun night out - Lebanese-style!
Best Ifar menu of the year 2025 with super delicious Frikeh & mezza. I highly recommend this restaurant for its authentic mediterranean food. Thank you chef Raymond!
The food is delicious. Our dinner was nicely accompanied by a live singer. Service was fast. The one thing is that it is a bit over priced. While the dishes are large, most mains are over 35$. & the cocktails are 21$ which is generally on the more expensive site. Despite that, I do recommend the Mouhammara & Makanek. It was truly delicious.
Highly recommend. We were beautifully seated. The food was absolutely delicious! We had the Tabouleh, Moutabbal, Mansaf, & Samke Harra. The portions were very generous & prices more than reasonable.

The food is soooooo good. The fattouche salad is the best I've ever had & the hummus was so smooth & delicious. We got the set menu with a mix of hot & cold plates so I tasted a lot of food & they were all good. The filet mignon was a highlight. The entertainment was also really good & the party atmosphere after 10 PM was fun to watch. I'll definitely be back for the food at an earlier seating - the party was fun, but too loud for my old ears. Highly recommend this resto - worth the high prices
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Abo al Zoulof restaurant & it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality & made to feel right at home. The service was exceptional - Ali & Sana were so attentive, friendly, & incredibly professional, making sure every need was met with a smile. Now, the food - where do I even begin? The flavors were absolutely divine. Every dish was a perfect blend of authentic spices & fresh ingredients, showcasing the best of Arabic cuisine. From the tender kebabs to the perfectly seasoned hummus & the rich, aromatic rice, everything was cooked to perfection. Each bite was a celebration of flavor, & it's clear that the chefs here truly know their craft. If you're craving mouthwatering Arabic food & a dining experience that makes you feel like royalty, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I recently visited Abu El Zoulof on Crescent Street, & it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The ambiance was warm & inviting, with amazing Middle Eastern music that instantly transported us to another world. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, & went above & beyond to make us feel welcome. The food was simply outstanding authentic, flavorful, & beautifully presented. Every dish was a burst of flavors, from the fresh appetizers to the perfectly spiced mains. It's clear that a lot of love & passion goes into their food, & it truly made the meal unforgettable. If you're looking for a place in Montreal with great vibes, delicious Middle Eastern cuisine, & a welcoming atmosphere, Abu El Zoulof is a must-visit! Highly recommend to anyone wanting a memorable dining experience.
WOW -- excellent cuisine with original flavors & presentation, & large portions, not to mention a very nice atmosphere & good service. I ordered a fish dish that was huge & scrumptious. My husband ordered lamb, also delicious. Highly recommend.
This place was a highlight of our trip to Montreal. Everything here is beautiful - food is presented so nicely, & the restaurant itself is incredibly decorated. It was our last night in Montreal & we were looking for something where we could dress casually but get good, fresh food & a nice atmosphere. It was perfect. We had the hummus, moutabbal, muhammara (all veg), & the kibbeh sajia (beef). Service was warm & inviting. A mix of families & couples dining here. Dishes are large, for sharing. Would definitely recommend!
AMAZING!! After trying almost all of the kibbeh nayyeh in Mtl & Laval this is the best I've had. The waiter Elias was super professional & the owner made us feel at home. If you want authentic & top tier middle eastern food & drinks come here. 10/10 would recommend
