Review Summary

Overall, Alep delivers bold Middle Eastern flavors that many reviewers praise for freshness and complexity, from the fattouche and hummus to tender grilled meats and a variety of tasting menu options that showcase a wide range of spices. The dining experience is described as delicious and memorable by many, with some noting excellent service and thoughtful wine recommendations, while others report slow or uneven service and long waits, and a few feel portions are small relative to the price. The atmosphere is generally pleasant and lively, though it can be a bit loud, and some diners observe a quieter, pricier section that could be more tranquil. Value fluctuates across reviews, with several guests happily paying for quality and variety, and a minority feeling the value does not fully match expectations. In sum, Alep is seen as a place offering strong flavors and attentive care that many would return for, despite occasional concerns about pacing, portion size, and consistency.

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.
