Barley est perçu comme un spot de brunch vivant et cosy où la carte mêle influences libanaises et touches sucrées de céréales, avec un bar à céréales personnalisable qui accentue l'originalité. Les avis soulignent des plats savoureux et généreux comme les pancakes au matcha, le pain doré creme brûlée, le halloumi et les Turkish eggs, ainsi que des tartines avocat et beet hummus; la présentation et l'ambiance sont globalement appréciées, et le service est souvent rapide et courtois, surtout en dehors des heures de pointe. Cependant les expériences varient selon l'affluence: les temps d'attente peuvent être longs, des erreurs de commande et des plats servis tièdes sont signalés, et le niveau sonore peut être élevé. Certaines critiques évoquent aussi des changements de menu et des portions qui peuvent sembler plus modestes ou plus chères. Malgré cela, Barley reste recommandé pour un brunch original et convivial, et il est souvent préférable de réserver pour profiter pleinement de l'ambiance et des plats phares comme les pancakes au matcha.
L'originalité du menu combiné avec la fraîcheur des produits rend ce resto un incontournable du déjeuner à Montréal. Avec ses accents méditerranéens, libanais plus précisément, on se retrouve à faire un voyage gustatif! Les pancakes au matcha sont absolument délicieuses, avec son sirop au chocolat blanc. Dents sucrées seront comblées. Les tartines aux champignons sont excellentes, les saveurs font honneur aux produits. Aussi, meilleures patates déjeuner du Québec!!!! Notre serveuse a été absolument fantastique, ce qui a rendu l'expérience encore plus exceptionnelle.

The matcha pancakes are buttery & fluffy an absolute delight! I even recommend it for people who aren't fans of white chocolate, the combo is truly a hit!
The matcha pancakes that I got was pretty good, I only came here for that because I saw a TikTok on it. I would get it again if I come back to Montreal since I'm not from there. But my friend got the chicken & waffles & it was ok, not the best. The chicken was too crispy that it was kinda hard to eat & the waffles was too fluffy that it was hard to swallow. Service was questionable, as when we walked in, they said there was a group of 13 about to come & denied us a table without reservation. After like 3 minutes, they came back outside because we were still there & said they had 2 tables open for 2. We went in & there were many tables open.
My girlfriend & I decided to go here for brunch. We both love the matcha pancakes & have had it for takeout loads of times, so we decided to sit in this time around. Unfortunately, we had a pretty bad experience & don't know if we'll be back anytime soon. My meal was slightly cold, which didn't really bother me at first. But after asking for our check, we ended up waiting another half hour or so - the two waitress we asked honestly couldn't care less about us. This was a shame as we enjoy their food. Bummer.
Hands down one of the best meals I've had in a long time ♥️. The matcha pancakes & the halloumi platter were delicious, beautifully presented, & perfectly balanced!! The service was also just lovely & I'm so glad we could have real Lebanese food!
The matcha pancakes... eh, I wasn't too crazy about it. They were ALRIGHT taste wise (maybe i expected more of a sweet flavor). I'm glad i got a good portion. However, the bar table was field of white dusts 🥲 I'd recommend to be careful about it, especially with the glasses absorbing dusts Other than that, pretty looking restaurant. & thank you to Youssef for serving me :)

Le bar à céréal.. je me questionne encore sur le nom du resto le lien avec le menu/concept. Le menu n'offre qu'une seule option contenant des céréales. Bref, clairement pour moi le concept n'est pas exploité à sa juste valeur. Le service était ok. L'assiette halloumi était ordinaire. L'assiette de pancake au matcha par contre était bien balancé avec le chocolat blanc & les fruits. Le chai latté par contre était excellent !
Première fois. Via uber Découverte suite à «Coup de Food» Gaufres au Poulet"; une gaufre de patate douce farcie au halloumi, garnie d'un poulet pané aux céréales & d'un oeuf ensoleillé. Le tout est agrémenté d'une sauce épicée à l'érable & d'oignons verts. Gaufre moelleuse, goûteuse, fromage bien présent. Belle couleur. lourd un peu à mon goût Pas eu de sauce à l'érable :( 4/5 Limonade 5/5 le "Elle & Jane" : un matcha glacé rafraîchissant enrichi d'un sirop de lavande. Très bon. Conseil: Brassez un brin avant de boire, sans quoi la lavande reste au fond 5/5
The service was amazing. I have tasted many matcha pancakes but by far Barley's is the best one. I also tried the halloumi plate (big cheese fan) that was also delicious. It was a reasonable price for everything i got. Very cute place.
Went to Barley for brunch with friends & had an amazing time! We ordered a few things to share. The food was great , the matcha pancakes & the central park toast were my fav!! The matcha latte with lavender syrup was also yummy. 🍵 & the the waitress was super attentive & friendly. Definitely going back :)
I was super excited to try this cereal bar. It is close to Lionel groulx metro. The place it self had a row of bar seats in different areas, booths & tables with seating available. The menu did have a lot of options to choose from & was especially accomadting for gluten free, vegan & non-lactose options/substitutes. The items are a bit pricey & the non lactose substitutes being +$1.00 additional charge. The food itself wasn't mind blowing but decent. The house pancakes were average. They had a pretty dense texture although, I expected it to be fluffy. My friends matcha pancakes were less dense. There wasn't much people but the service could have been improved as we had to flag down our waiter to order.

My friend really wanted to try this place & I was a bit skeptical because of its 3.9 rating but decided to give it a try anyway & actually enjoyed our experience! The matcha pancakes were delicious. I'm glad I ordered them in the "mini" version (not shown on the menu but you can ask for it) because they were super heavy & filling. The halloumi plate on the other hand was light & tasty. I enjoyed it. Cocktails were also delicious & I have nothing bad to say about the service as opposed to most reviews here. They were friendly & efficient & I was even there during peak hours on a Sunday.
Good service, we went around 12 in a rainy day, & it wash full, however we didn't have to wait much, just around 5 minutes, however they manage you serve as many people as possible that the tables end up being excessively close to each other. I tried the Matcha Pancakes & although looks very good, wasn't special at all & it was pricey for some pancakes without much fruits. The americano was alright.
