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.
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! ✨

It could br the equivalen of a hidden gem. Beirut restaurant offers
a wonderful experience with delicious Middle Easterm cuisine. The food here is fresh, beautifully presented & full of flavor. The friendly staff & comfortable atmosphere make it a perfect place to enjoy quality food with family & friends.
One of the main reasons I love going to BAYRUT is actually how I feel after I leave. The food is authentic, fresh, natural, & beautifully prepared, so you still get that high-end dining experience without feeling overly heavy afterward like at a lot of other restaurants.
The atmosphere is also perfect for a first date or couples night out, but equally amazing for family gatherings because Lebanese food is meant to be shared. My favorite spots in Montreal.
Wow. Bayrut on William Street completely impressed me.
The flavours are bold, fresh, & genuinely authentic - the kind of food that makes you pause because the taste hits you in the best way. Every dish felt thoughtful & beautifully made.
If you love Lebanese food, or just great food done with care, Bayrut is absolutely worth it. I left already planning my next visit.
I NEED to leave a glowing review even if my order was via Uber Eats & I clearly missed the in-house atmosphere & hospitality. Every bite was fantastic! Bursting with flavors & textures & color. The fattoush was probably my favorite in all of Montreal. Tangy, spiced, & a hint of sweetness. It was hard to stop myself from eating the entire bowl (because I wanted to still try the other dishes). The baked chicken toast was unique & tasty. I'm not vegan/vegetarian but I happen to like vegetarian kibbeh, & those are hard to find in Montreal restaurants. The baked-not-fried method of cooking is an excellent healthy upgrade. The freekeh with chicken was beautifully plated/decorated even for delivery, & the chicken itself was so tender & flavorful! I MUST congratulate whoever thought of the packaging design for to-go items. Everything is neatly packaged in aesthetic cling-film trays so nothing spills in transit. Perfect to take to work, picnics, potlucks. If this was'just' delivery, I am eager to experience the in-person food & service! A side note: people who rated the resto poorly because of less authentic dishes - this is OKAY. They are transparent about wanting to offer healthier ways to eat traditional dishes. They have also created their own take on certain things & that's OKAY too! Nobody said they are trying to be some other traditional resto with strict'correct' ingredients or flavors. They are being creative, & I can appreciate that, even if others don't. LOVED IT, I need more!
I had dinner at Bayrut Resto last night & it was honestly the most authentic Lebanese food I've tasted in Canada. Every dish was full of flavour & tasted just like home fresh, balanced, & beautifully presented.
The service was excellent as well. The staff were warm, welcoming, & genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience.
A must try.
