My wife & I went for lunch here & were blown away by everything. She is originally from Lebanon & has been trying Lebanese restaurants all across Canada over the last 8 years since moving here & stated that it was the most authentic food she's had. Even I could tell the difference in the food, such as the olives & grape leaves for example (two things I usually really dislike were SO delicious). Can't recommend this place enough. Staff were lovely & attentive & we can't wait to come back!
An amazing Lebanese restaurant with an incredible variety of fresh & delicious dishes! Everything we tried was full of flavor, beautifully presented, & clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The restaurant was spotless, the staff was welcoming & attentive, & the atmosphere was warm & inviting. If you're looking for authentic Lebanese food in Montreal, this is definitely the place to visit. Highly recommended-I can't wait to come back!
Visited the place for the first time to celebrate the engagement of step-daughter. Everything was clean & delicious. Very attentive & cordially served. Great selection of beverages & tasty food.
We really enjoyed this place! The staff were very friendly & attentive 🤍
We ordered the Dinner Tasting Menu ($95 per person), & it was definitely worth it. It was a great way to try a wide variety of dishes & experience Lebanese cuisine. We were already full before the main course!
I would have loved a little more variety in the meat dishes, but overall it was a wonderful experience.
Had such a great experience at Restaurant Beirut. Farah provided excellent service & was very kind & attentive throughout our visit. The drinks were amazing, the fattoush salad was one of the best I've ever had, & the lahmacun/laham dish was incredibly tasty with a very generous portion. The recipe tasted homemade & authentic, which made the food even more enjoyable. The owner was also very friendly & welcoming, making the whole experience feel warm & inviting. Highly recommend this place for delicious food & great hospitality.
The atmosphere is elegant, warm, & beautifully designed - perfect for a cozy dinner with friends or family. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented, from the creamy hummus & vibrant tabbouleh to the perfectly cooked octopus & delicious desserts. The attention to detail in both taste & presentation truly stood out.
A special thank you to Andrew for the exceptional hospitality & attentive service throughout the evening. He made us feel genuinely welcomed & taken care of. & compliments to Chef Pierre - the food was outstanding, authentic, & crafted with real passion. You can feel the quality in every dish.
Highly recommend this place if you're looking for refined Lebanese cuisine, a stylish ambiance, & excellent service in Montreal. We will definitely be coming back! ✨
I had a great experience at Bayrut Restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented-especially the mezze dishes. The atmosphere felt warm & inviting, perfect for a relaxed evening. Service was friendly & attentive without being overwhelming. Definitely a spot I'd come back to & recommend to anyone who enjoys authentic Lebanese cuisine
A must try! Different than other Lebanese restaurants in the city. You'll find dishes you only eat at home. The food was so tasty & well executed. The staff was attentive, joyful & on point. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.
I never leave reviews, but if this helps even one person avoid the kind of disappointment I experienced at Bayrut, it'll feel worth the time & money I lost.
To start, the portion sizes are laughably small. If you have even a modest appetite, this isn't the place for you. More importantly, the food itself was extremely underwhelming. It tasted debatably worse than what you'd get from a basic takeout spot, which makes the pricing incredibly hard to justify. You're honestly better off saving your money & going somewhere like Amir if the taste of the food is what you're after.
I ordered the'chef's choice' chicken & rice, & it was easily the most disappointing meal I've ever had. It came with a tiny portion of plain white rice, dry & under-seasoned chicken, & boiled, mushy potatoes-all for a jawdropping $40. I actually laughed when I took my first bite because I couldn't believe this was being presented as a featured dish at that price point.
The appetizers were all the same. The Kibbeh were dry & crumbly, the cheese stuffed phyllo was offensively salty (coming from someone who adores salty food, this was inedible) & the stuffed vine leaves were simply'meh'. If you've ever had the canned ones from Costco, they taste the exact same….
Even if the meal had been FREE, I'd still feel the same way. I don't mind paying for quality, but this felt like a complete mismatch between cost & value.
The one bright spot was our waitress. she was genuinely kind & attentive, & I appreciated her service.
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.
