Review Summary

Overall, reviews describe Alep as a flavorful mix of Syrian, Lebanese and Armenian cuisines with fresh ingredients, a friendly service mindset, and a lively yet comfortable atmosphere; the menu offers a wide array of mezze and main dishes, with many diners praising hummus, fattoush, grilled meats, and the option to share a tasting experience, plus a strong wine and local beer list. Some comments mention small appetizer portions and occasionally plain presentation, and a few readers note pacing or a busier space that can feel rushed or noisy. Yet the majority highlight good value for money, attentive service, and dishes that feel thoughtfully prepared and authentic, with several calls to return for more tasting adventures. Overall Alep comes across as a dependable, shareable dining destination where standout flavors meet a few caveats about portion sizes, ambiance, and pacing.

Our first time & what a wonderful experience! We knew that they had vegan options but did not know that they offered a vegan tasting menu! Everything was delicious with plenty of flavours. Excellent friendly accommodating service. Sorbet for dessert capped off a great meal. Tasting menu is 45$-50$ per person. Well worth it.

For the price, I expected the food to have bolder flavours & have more variety in terms of the texture in each bite. I got the sea bass & I preferred it in other restaurants. The flavours they went with I found were more on the bland side. I preferred the mudjadara then the sea bass cause it was more flavourful. I remember petit alep had better flavours so would need to go back there to re-confirm.

Wow, this restaurant experience blew us away. We didn't feel like making any decisions tonight besides where we ate, & our server Mirka chose the perfect dishes to quench our thirst for the fresh flavours of Syria & Armenia. Thank you sweet server, & thank you to the rest of the service team for your attentiveness & smiles!! MUAH

This is one of Montreal's best restaurant & absolute gems. The wine list is superb & every dish is packed with flavours that are hard to find anywhere else. The service is incredible with a quality that has been pasted down for generations. This place has become a must whenever I'm in Montreal.
