Review Summary

Alep is widely regarded as a standout destination for Syrian and Lebanese cuisine in Montreal, frequently praised for its flavorful, fresh dishes like hummus, grilled meats, and unique desserts. Many visitors highlight the warm, professional service and the extensive wine list, noting that the tasting menus offer a fantastic way to experience a variety of authentic, high-quality flavors. While the majority of guests have a wonderful experience, opinions on the atmosphere vary, with some finding the space vibrant and welcoming while others describe it as noisy or occasionally too formal.

The food is overall good but everything is overpriced for the modest portions that you get. Service & atmosphere are both below average . I won't go back again

Definitely not worth the hype. Our waitress insisted on talking to us in French even though her English was good. I am perfectly bilingual but it's my choice what language I want to speak when dining with my friends & paying for food. The portions are small for the prices & you have to order the side separately on top of it. So basically they give you 2 sticks of meat & even if you order a side which I did order the rice, you still end up with no dip or sauce to go with it so kinda need to order 2 sides. My boyfriend ordered braised lamp & it was a small piece of meat & a big load of caramelized onion under. Wine bottles are expensive for what they offer as well. They also put a bag of pita in its original plastic bag on the table. Definitely not going back.

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.

Toujours aussi bonnes lasalade farouche & la soupe wow 🤩 Ce que j'ai moins aime c'est l'insistance avec laquelle on m'a suggère de goûter à un truc que je dis savoir ne pas aimer....pour que ça cesse j'ai accepté que ce soit mis dans un petit plat à part 🙃

Très belle expérience. Nous sommes entré dans ce bel endroit, avons suivi & écouté notre très agréable serveur, passionné par le restaurant où il travaille, par son histoire, ses collègues, & la cuisine qui y est concoctée. La convivialité se ressent & s'affiche sous la forme d'un très beau sourire des propriétaires des lieux. Ce serveur nous a donc concocté un menu a 7 plats, accompagnés de verres de vin habilement choisi par l'excellent & très sympathique sommelier des lieux, très renommé nous a t on dit. Je ne ferai pas le détail mais ce fut une succession de découvertes délicieuses, basées sur des condiments maisons & des épices rechauffants. Pour finir je vous recommande grandement cet endroit qui mérite vraiment une réservation.
