L'accueil : impeccable (hôtesse à l'entrée & préposé au vestiaire). Les tables sont suffisamment éloignées les unes des autres (certaines tables sont séparées par un panneau de verre qui bloque efficacement les conversations). Très bon service, ni trop rapide, ni trop lent. Le sommelier nous a bien conseillé; le choix de vins au verre est cependant assez limité (seulement quatre vins rouges au verre lors de notre visite, à partir de 14,50 $ le verre). Les entrées sont en général assez petites, sauf pour la soupe, copieuse. En plat principal, nous avons commandé les kababs (d'Alep & khach-khach), excellents; 2 brochettes sont suffisantes. Cependant, ces plats (& d'autres vraisemblablement) ne comprennent pas les accompagnements. Nous avons commandé comme accompagnements le riz aux lentilles moujadara (copieux pour une seule personne) & une salade (portion correcte pour une personne). Le repas s'est terminé avec un thé (choix de plusieurs bons thés), servi dans de jolies théières. Nous avions la table pour deux heures, durée un peu juste si on désire prendre en plus un apéritif &/ou un digestif.View more

Bon restaurant avec un excellent service. Par contre, je vous suggère de ne pas choisir le menu dégustation, le prix varie de 40$ à 60$, vous ne saurez pas combien vous allez payer & les portions sont petites & sans dessert. Contre: le pain vient dans un sac plastique & froid À essayer: la salade fattouche & le filet mignon.View more

It has been over a year since I have wanted to try this restaurant, but as it turns out it was a major disappointment. First of all, a general complaint was that as a Syrian restaurant there was not a single halal-friendly option on the menu. Moreover that Alep is farther north in the city is all the more reason why the restaurant should be more welcoming & catering to a Muslim clientele that lives in Villeray-ParcEx-St. Michel. The food generally was alright, though nothing special & frankly not particularly authentic. My major complaint is that we had an atrocious experience with the service. The server made a mistake with our order to change the side salad to a Fattouche, which had been her recommendation instead of getting an extra fattouche in addition to our side salads. They charge $3.50 to make the change, which is no big deal in our books. But when confronted with the mistake, instead of attempting to remedy the situation in an efficient manner, the server asked to take my whole plate back thereby guaranteeing that my haloum, mint pita would be cold by the time I got it back. Instead I asked that she bring us another salad. At the end, when getting the check I asked if something could be done to rectify the bill - she had charged us for the extra salad. Quite unprofessionally she huffed off & an equally frustrating & ill-hearted manager came to address the situation. What our server didn't realize is that we saw her converse with the manager in a manner that was even less befitting of the situation at hand; we're talking about a difference of $2.25. The manager was equally uncompromising & lectured us on the principles of ordering food at a restaurant & "how things work." I've NEVER been to a restaurant that wasn't able to take the easy step of owning up to a pretty small mistake with very small financial ramifications to the restaurant. Lets face it, I'm not returning a $20 dish because I don't like the taste (though the fattouche was woefully subpar - no radishes or onions, vinegar!? painfully few pita chips) I'm asking that an issue be resolved as a good-faith action on the part of the restaurant. Really not too much to ask & lastly we didn't need our dinner dragged out by thirty minutes by their subsequent avoidance techniques & passive aggressive looks. Don't bother going, better places with nicer people in the city.
