This place has been there since almost two years now. Cute setup. Not a lot places to sit but on Sunday they have someone playing oud & last time we went we got lucky with a singer who was having brunch & went on to sing a few songs
We did many times takeout before but it was our first eating there.
I recommend the classics:
Manakich cheese & half half with zaatar
The classic foul is really well done
Tried two Fatteh one with tahini & one with Laban
Tried the Msabaha as well as omelette
Nice brunch place with family

We had brunch here & everything was excellent. The food was so fresh & full of flavor, & the portions were generous. The atmosphere felt cozy & welcoming, & the service was friendly & attentive. You can really tell that everything is made with care. Highly recommended if you're looking for authentic Lebanese brunch! 🌿🍽?
Un grand merci à tout le monde du resto Balila. Chaque bouchée est un déjeuner high class! Lorsque j'ai demandé du pain extra, vous m'avez donné cela & ajouté de la Labneh Makdouce! Salemidekom & God bless you all!
Absolutely amazing experience at Baliba! Everything was so fresh & flavorful - you can really taste the quality. The cheese bread was out of this world - soft, warm, & perfectly cheesy. I ordered two dips of chickpeas with a bowl of fresh, pickled sides & two cheese breads, & every bite was delicious.
The service was just as impressive - friendly, efficient, & super professional even over the phone, the lady who is spoke with was sweet & answered my questions. You can tell they really care about their customers. I'll definitely be ordering again & recommending Baliba to everyone I know!
The food is tasty & flavourful. The service was a bit lacking; we had to remind them quite a few times about a dish they forgot.
Seating outside is nice but over crowded & noisy inside.
From the moment I walked into Balila, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, & filled with the comforting aroma of authentic Middle Eastern spices. Every detail - from the elegant décor to the friendly smiles of the staff - makes you feel right at home.
The food? Simply incredible. Every dish is bursting with flavor & freshness. The balila was silky smooth, the manakich perfectly crisp on the outside & fluffy inside, & the eggs were seasoned to perfection. You can really taste the care & passion that goes into every plate.
The service was exceptional - attentive without being intrusive. The staff took the time to explain the dishes & even offered great pairing suggestions. It's rare to find a place that balances quality, hospitality, & authenticity so well.
If you're coming for a casual meal, Balila delivers a dining experience you'll want to repeat again & again. Highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates amazing food !
It's a beautiful concept, but it unfortunately doesn't go beyond being a concept.
The food & space is clean which is great. Bathrooms would take some more cleaning.
The food would greatly benefit from more flavour, better presentation & the touch of authenticity compared to it being treated as a business.
Food was left on the counter for a bit, the server gave us tissues but then placed them literally on the food 🫤. Also. I am not sure about chewing'munching' gum while taking the order.
I wish you guys all the best! Would love to see improvements to make it more of an experience 🤍

Very good place, clean & good service & quick. But the fatteh although tasty, needed more cumin, lemon & garlic. Lack a little more flavor. Cheese manoushe was very good. Overall decent restaurant but im a fan of fatteh so I'd eat it somewhere else especially its the same price at other places we know of but the rest was very good.
Excellent déjeuner méditerranéen à Laval! Les prix sont un peu au-dessus de la moyenne, mais il en va de même pour la qualité des ingrédients. En plus, le pain, les légumes & le thé sont inclus.
Je recommande le fatteh à la viande : un bon déjeuner bien complet, & une portion généreuse, parfaite pour partager!
Super clean & cozy spot!
Lebanon is here in every corner & spot.
The Lebanese brunch was absolutely delicious everything was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully served. Can't wait to come back!
