Review Summary

Abu Elias is widely praised for top quality charcoal grilled meats and a wide range of Lebanese specialties, with many notes on fresh meat and standout items like kibbeh nayeh and tebleh, and the option to sit and eat turning a visit into an experience; the menu includes kofta, filet mignon sandwiches and other grilled items and mixed grills that are repeatedly described as delicious, though a few reviews mention higher prices, smaller portions, occasional over salted or overcooked dishes, and inconsistency in service or a busy, noisy vibe; overall the place is celebrated for flavor, craft and a welcoming atmosphere, while some diners caution about parking and value depending on the day.

This isn't just a butcher shop-it's a celebration of craft, heritage, & a deep respect for flavor. A Middle Eastern butcher since 1992, this place carries decades of knowledge in every cut, every seasoning, every detail. The meat tartares are truly exceptional-perfectly balanced, boldly seasoned, & handled with real finesse. Their stuffed chickens deserve special praise; each variation is thoughtfully prepared, rich in flavor, & genuinely memorable.

You don't just shop here-you can sit & eat, turning a visit into an experience. Alongside the meats, there are vibrant salads & other dishes that reflect the same care & intention. You can feel the pride they take in their work.

It feels almost insulting to'rate' Abu Elias Boucherie because no number of stars could do it justice. They truly have the best & freshest meat in Montreal. The quality is unmatched, & every visit reminds me why it's my go-to butcher. Highly recommended to anyone who values freshness & flavor!
