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.

Really enjoyed a meal with colleagues here. I won't try to spell the names of the food & I unfortunately did not take a menu photo. But we had the dolmas-like appetizer & a maple, spice, & walnut dip with pitas that were both delicious.
Then I got a pita with Aleppo cheese & sauteed spinach with a spice paste called flefle. This was frankly amazing! So flavorful. Like a quesadilla except leveled up.
Everyone enjoyed their food & the service was friendly & quick.
I'll definitely try to visit this again next time I'm in Montreal.

Quel magnifique voyage culinaire au Petit Alep ! Chaque plat était une explosion de saveurs, frais, savoureux & manifestement préparé avec soin. C'est une cuisine syrienne authentique & généreuse comme on l'aime. Le service était à la hauteur de la cuisine : chaleureux, efficace & de très bon conseil, notamment pour le choix du vin qui était excellent. Une ambiance très agréable pour une soirée parfaite. Je recommande sans la moindre hésitation !

Expérience culinaire a faire une fois dans sa vie, saveur a découvrir agencement de vin lorsque vous choisissez le repas gastronomique avec 3 service & 3 plats environ par service a se partager ( pour 4 personnes) délicieux & hors de l'ordinaire.

Nous avons vécu une très belle expérience chez Alep.
Le menu dégustation nous a ouvert la porte sur de belles saveurs, & les conseils pour l'accord avec le vin ont rehaussé le tout.
L'accueil & le service ont fait toute la différence. On sent que les membres de l'équipe ont du plaisir & font un travail exceptionnel.
À recommencer !!

Les mezzes étaient correct sans plus. Les pains pitas servis dans des sacs de plastique franchement pour un resto dans le guide Michelin c'est pour le moins surprenant! La portion de viande du plat d'agneau était minuscule, contrairement au prix ! Le plat est cependant bien goûteux. Bref, la réputation est surfaite. Je ne recommande pas ce resto.

My friends picked this restaurant for their bday & they made a reservation for 6 people. Food was delicious! You noticed fresh ingredients right away. Portions are small, the concept is a tapas formula dish. We ordered several appetizers (10) & 4 more with meat. We all were satisfied. For dessert, a friend brought cake & the place let us have it charging a reasonable fee, the coffee was strong & aromatic. The sour fruit beer I had was excellent for the weather. I had to remind the waitress twice the order but overall good service, nice recommendations. The place impose a time limit to be on site so that was a bummer. As for the ambiance no particular music or atmosphere that makes the place stand out but a family restaurant for sure (no kids were visible thu.

Un petit restaurant syrien vraiment charmant. La nourriture était délicieuse, avec des épices & des saveurs étonnamment savoureuses qui rappellent la richesse culinaire du Moyen-Orient. Le seul petit bémol serait le pain, qui gagnerait à être fait maison, comme dans beaucoup de restaurants orientaux. Cela dit, avec les difficultés actuelles à trouver du personnel, c'est compréhensible
