BÁYRŪT is a modern Lebanese kitchen rooted in family, memory, and tradition. Inspired by the recipes of our mother Nunu and the food of our childhood, we serve dishes that honour the classics — creamy hummus made fresh daily, vibrant tabbouleh, and the rich earthiness of lentils and freekeh. Every plate tells a story, of the mountains of Lebanon, of meals passed hand to hand, and of the joy of feeding others with care. Whether you're here for a quick lunch or a slow, soulful dinner, we invite you to taste a legacy passed down through generations and reimagined for today.
Bayrut Restaurant earns praise for authentic Lebanese flavors, generous portions, and fresh, well presented dishes, with many noting a warm and attentive service and a welcoming atmosphere. Reviewers highlight the tasting menu as a standout experience, the bread, hummus, and tabbouleh, and the use of Lebanese wines and l'Arak in moderation, while some mention high prices or smaller portions for the cost and occasional modern twists or tapas style serving. The overall impression is that Bayrut Restaurant reflects a home style, family inspired cooking with pride in recipes, delivering flavorful, balanced dishes and thoughtful touches that make guests feel at home, encouraging return visits.
Great Lebanese restaurant. I really enjoyed the experience. The fattoush, wara2 enab, loubiyeh bi zeit w joz, batata hara, & m3ajanet were all delicious & full of flavor. I especially appreciated that everything is not fried & is prepared with olive oil, which makes the dishes feel lighter & more authentic. The ambiance is clean, comfortable, & inviting. The highlight, though, is the fresh, hot bread they serve. Andrew was really helpful & friendly .
Absolutely amazing! My first experience with Lebanese food & I was blown away. We ordered may different dishes so I could try a variety of dishes. Owner was super sweet & gave us free desserts to go!! Cannot rave enough about this spot!!

We had an incredible time at Bayrut. Can you tell from the minute you walk in that the staff here really cares about their food & their guests' experience. We ordered the Fattoush salad, pumpkin kibbeh, & eggplant dip. Everything was 10/10. Vatche was a delight. He mentioned that all the food was baked (not fried), light, & fresh. He was 100% right.
We enjoyed a great dinner at Bayrut. The food was really good, the service was excellent & the ambiance really good as well. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
We were in Montreal for a vacation & sought recommendations. A Montreal native we know suggested this place & it was one of the best meals we ate in the City. The restaurant is small & comfortable & worth a visit. Excellence all around.
Mon père est libanais & je mange des mets libanais depuis toujours. Ce restaurant offre une qualité de nourriture extraordinaire. Le babaganoush (mutabbal) & le humus bayrut sont les meilleurs que j'ai mangé. Tout est délicieux & fait à la main. Le propriétaire est super sympathique & nous a dit que ce sont des recettes de sa mère. Il s'agit de nourriture authentique libanaise avec des techniques ancestrales. La facture est un peu élevée, rien d'exageré, mais on en a vraiment pour notre argent considérant que tout est fait à la main avec authenticité. Un très bon deal quand on veut s'offrir un repas mémorable avec des gens qu'on aime. Je vais y retourner régulièrement.

Best Lebanese restaurant in Montreal. My friend & I were visiting from Nova Scotia & we loved the food, staff & environment. Food was very authentic & it's a must try.
Good place. Very traditional Lebanese. They explain every dish. Our bartender Joya was very nice. Made us Arak Rose. Also good variety of Lebanese wine. Very good. Highly recommend.
The most authentic lebanese cuisine. The food was amazing. The bread is made fresh to order & paired perfectly with the mutabal & hummus. We will definitely be returning!
So tasty & authentic Lebanese restaurant. Fresh high quality ingredients. Generous amount of meat. Definitely I will come back again. Wish you best of luck.
The owner is welcoming & attentive. The waiters provide excellent service & the food is outstanding, fresh, authentic & full of flavour. A great dining experience overall. By the way, the taboule is amazing. There mint, olive oil & lemon combination create a traditional fresh & vibrant aroma.
Small place, Way overpriced ... I guess it reflects rent in Griffintown ... Not authentically classic Lebanese place ... No formulas, more like tapas style... small portions (don't be surprised) ... but the hot pita bread keeps coming 😋
