About

Abu Elias specializes in authentic Middle Eastern culinary traditions with a robust focus on charcoal-grilled meats and freshly prepared bakery items. The menu features signature shish tawook, kafta, and tender lamb skewers seasoned with traditional spice blends and served alongside warm, pillowy pita bread baked directly on-site. Traditional accompaniments include creamy garlic sauce, velvety hummus, and fresh tabbouleh that highlight the depth of Levantine flavor profiles. The kitchen maintains high standards for dough production, resulting in a selection of manakish topped with fragrant zaatar, salty halloumi, or minced meat mixtures. Diners encounter a straightforward environment where the focus remains entirely on the precise execution of grilled preparations and authentic baked goods. This establishment serves as a dedicated destination for those seeking reliable, high-quality ingredients processed through time-honored Mediterranean cooking techniques.

Review Summary

Abu Elias is widely recognized as a cornerstone for authentic Middle Eastern cuisine and high-quality butcher services in Montreal. Many patrons praise the freshness and superior flavor of their charcoal-grilled meats, raw specialties like kibbeh nayyeh and lahmi madoua, and their signature sandwiches. While a majority of visitors highlight the friendly staff and the reliable, traditional quality of the food, some feedback notes inconsistencies in service, pricing concerns, or occasional issues with portion sizes and saltiness. Despite these mixed remarks and challenges with parking, the establishment remains a popular destination for those seeking genuine Lebanese products and catering services, with many loyal customers returning for years to enjoy consistent, flavor-packed meals.

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
