Authentic & exquisite Lebanese food. They care about details & the wine list is great to discover Lebanese wines. A little gem in Ville-Marie. Child & stroller friendly 🤩 The waitress gave my daughter a dancing class & a tour of the terrasse to allow her to move a little. Thank you 🙏🏾
Great authentic Lebanese food. Just like our grandparents cooked food, in a healthy, nutritious way. Owner came to our table to greet us. Great service. A must visit to anyone in Montreal.

As a Lebanese, I'm naturally very critical when it comes to our cuisine. Bayrut delivers an authentic experience on another level. Without hesitation, I can say this is the best Lebanese restaurant in Montreal. Having lived here most of my life & tried countless Lebanese restaurants, I know how rare it is to find food this true to our traditions. Every dish is prepared the way Lebanese cuisine is meant to be. I highly recommend Bayrut to anyone looking to experience genuine, authentic Lebanese food.
We were visiting Montreal & came across Bayrut & I could not be happier we found this gem! I love the values of this restaurant - no fried food & they only use olive oil which immediately caught my intention as this is how we eat at home as well. The recipes are from the owner's grandmother which is not only such a beautiful homage to her - but it truly tasted like it as well. This restaurant has delicious, authentic Lebanese food, everything was 1000/10. The staff was very hospitable & I will be dreaming about the ashta dessert for weeks. This is a must try restaurant!!!
honestly a 3/10 & thats thanks to the great service. we did the tasting menu & every dish was overly acidic & bitter. the server did try to overcompensate by saying this is authentic but we've been to damas & kazamaza. it was genuinely difficult to eat any of the dishes without coughing or looking for some sort of bread. however the rice pudding y dessert was very good! definitely not worth the 400$ of very very bad food. if they nail down their food combined with the great service & location, it can easily be one of the best spots in the old port.
Impeccable. Couldn't speak more highly of this place. First class service, welcoming, accommodating, paying little attention to details & requests, & simply kind. I organized a team dinner for more than 20 people with Mohannad, the owner of the restaurant, & he made sure everyone had an amazing time. The atmosphere inside is warm & beautiful.
We all ate SO WELL. Every single dish was delicious. From the hummos, to the fattoush, to the wara2 3enab, to the taouk bites (WITH REAL TOUM 🤤) to the spinash & rice, to the lamb, to the frikeh. Even the rice pudding was amazing. There was more than we could eat but we couldn't stop. Flavours are authentic & it truly feels like you're eating at your grandma's. I rarely find that in Montreal.
I wish I had more pictures of the food & the table but we were too excited to film. The place even sells a great variety of Lebanese products.
Joya & the other waitresses & waiters did a great & fast job. It's always such a pleasure to feel so welcomed & appreciated in a restaurant, & I appreciate back the generous & high-quality food, but most importantly the great service! Thanks all, it was a blast & I can't wait to be back🫶🏻
Absolutely amazing brunch experience at Bayrut Restaurant. Authentic Lebanese food at another level - every dish was full of flavor, freshness, & beautifully presented. You can truly taste the quality & attention put into every detail.
A special thank you to Mamy, our waitress, & Gioia for the excellent service. They made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was spotless, elegant, & the cleanliness really added to the overall experience.
If you are looking for real Lebanese cuisine with incredible taste & outstanding hospitality, this place is a must. Highly recommended!
