Family business run for over 30 years established in Quebec in the heart of ville St-Laurent, Montreal. Serving the best Lebanese local meats and grilled products cooked on 100% charcoal. We pride ourselves in offering the best quality fresh products coupled with the best service.
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 is the second time we visit this place, the owner is a very kind person & friendly, the people are really nice & helpful, we ordered 3kg of mixed kebabs & it was amazing, fresh & delicious. Totally recommended!! Thank you!
I recently visited Boucherie Abu Elias on Côte-Vertu & was really impressed. I ordered meat for kibbeh nayyeh, m2anik, & kafta - everything was fresh, high quality, & full of authentic flavor. You can really tell they know what they're doing when it comes to traditional products. Definitely one of the best spots if you're looking for genuine Middle Eastern butcher quality. Highly recommended!

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!
Got some pastries, muhammara, chicken breast & ground beef. Everything was fresh, clean & with high standard. This is my first time visiting the shop, so I took some extra manaeesh to stock in the freezer. Staff were friendly & professional. I would go there again for sure.
The absolute freshest, most delicious, & flavourful food! I always take the mixed platter for a variety & it never disappoints. Besides the quality of the food, the service is great, the people are warm & make you feel welcomed! An absolute must if you're visiting Montreal but want to have a taste of Lebanon.
