Review Summary

Abu Elias is described as a cornerstone for charcoal grilled Middle Eastern meat in Montreal, offering a wide range of items from kafta, filet mignon, and tawook sandwiches to kebbeh nayeh and tebleh, and a butcher shop that doubles as a market and eatery. Reviews praise the freshness and quality of the meat, the bold flavors, and the variety of prepared dishes and salads that reflect the same care and craftsmanship. The service is often friendly and attentive, though some visits report occasional missteps with orders or items that are overly salty or overcooked, and a perception that prices can be high or that service varies when not local. Parking can be tight and seating limited, yet the overall impression is of a place that feels authentic, welcoming, and dedicated to Lebanese and Middle Eastern meat dishes, with a clean kitchen, a professional team, and a strong emphasis on quality across raw cuts and cooked specialties.

The kibbeh nayyeh (raw meat) today was extremely bad. Tasteless, just meat & burghul. Very disappointing.

Excellent food, charcoal grilled, very clean kitchen & efficient service. It may be preferable to order in advance. Note that the parking is pretty small & car needs to block others.

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!

Unfortunately there is nothing authentic about this place, I think it's only the name they built in the early years they started where not lots of options were found in town. We can find much better places now with much more affordable prices as well, not going there back anymore
