Review Summary

Alep offers a widely praised dining experience that blends Syrian, Lebanese, and Armenian culinary traditions with a local twist, earning consistent acclaim for its flavorful dishes like the fattoush, hummus, and various grilled platters. Many diners appreciate the professional service, the extensive wine list, and the thoughtful tasting menus, often describing the atmosphere as pleasant and the ingredients as remarkably fresh. While the majority of guests consider it a must-visit destination that provides excellent value, some feedback indicates occasional inconsistencies regarding portion sizes, pricing, seasoning levels, and a perceived lack of attentiveness during busier periods. Despite these isolated concerns, the restaurant is frequently celebrated as a standout venue for its authentic hospitality and high-quality Middle Eastern cuisine.

We love discovering new restaurants & new cuisines. Great friends of ours suggested this restaurant Alep & as usual this was spot on. I expected Syrian cuisine yet it is both Syrian & Lebanese with a twist of local. Good selection of Local brewery beers & huge wine list. The food well lots to choose from. We selected a salad & two appetizers Hummus & a Eggplant mashed all three were great. As a group when possible we have a platter so we can all pick from. So we had a chicken & meat platter. Everything was delicious. Definitely a place to go back too. Best part is the price. Really affordable. Quality, selection & quantity all excellent. Service was great no rushing us out, atmosphere was good not over crowded or squeezed in corners etc.
Strongly suggest to try this restaurant Alep .

The food & service were excellent, but I expected a bit more of a Syrian ambiance. We were a group of six, & it's quite normal to spend at least two hours enjoying a meal at a restaurant. However, the staff seemed to be rushing us to leave after about two hours, which made the experience feel a bit pressured. Overall, the food was delicious, but the atmosphere could be improved to make guests feel more relaxed.

A French Canadian version of Syrian Lebanese cuisine. The food was good but a few things were a bit off the mark. The grilled meats were a bit on the dry side. The hummus in the appetizers & the grease leaves very a bit too lemon-y.
The ambiance & environment is good. Service is great, & for wine drinkers there is a massive wine list.
The food is good too, I would day with a little local twist. Only minus 1 star for me as I expected stronger flavor authentic Lebanese & Syrian style foods. But a very good experience overall. Recommended.

Armenian & Syrian cuisine offering a true taste of the Middle East. Delicious dishes, a pleasant atmosphere, & whether it's the meal or the dessert, it's flawless. A must for your taste buds!

Cuisine arménienne & syrienne qui offre une véritable immersion au coeur du Moyen-Orient. Les plats sont délicieux, l'atmosphère est agréable, & que ce soit pour le repas ou le dessert, c'est un sans faute. Un must pour les papilles !

Great food, Alep is specialized in Syrian/Armenian food & totally nails it every time. The service is very good & I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to live a real middle eastern culinary experience. Prices are a bit high but that can be justified with good quality ingredients & the great service.

Overall we had a great experience. I would revisit. 1. I expected the portions to be slightly larger. 2. Music could be improved. Since it's a Syrian restaurant, I expected to hear Maqams instead of «house of the rising sun»
