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.
Amazing service & food, I could tell how passionate the owner was about the food & his restaurant. Everything is fresh & healthy! Tasted like a home cooked meal. Super underrated spot. Would give 6 stars if I could.
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
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.

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 .
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.
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.
We had an amazing catering experience for our company event. Muhannad went above & beyond to make sure everything was perfect, even taking care of beautiful decorations so everyone could enjoy the best experience.
The food was absolutely outstanding authentic Lebanese cuisine at its finest. Fresh, flavorful, & perfectly prepared.
5-star service & top-quality food. Bayrut is easily my #1 Lebanese restaurant in Quebec. Highly recommend!
A'must visit' Lebanese family run restaurant. A fantastic welcome, servicw & food. Went there Wednesday in February.
This family run restaurant is an unexpected gem on William St. It is authentic & charming. The food is of high quality, fresh & expertly prepared. The atmosphere is warm & the staff knowledgeable & interested in the clientele. They take a personal interest in ensuring customers have enjoyed every aspect of their meal which is impressive, even in a city where food service seems to be the norm. If we are ever back in Montreal we will be repeat customers! This restaurant absolutely deserves to succeed.

Bayrut on William Street is a must. We went as two couples after hearing about it on social media & decided to try the full tasting menu: what a delight! Every plate captured the true essence of authentic Lebanese cuisine: perfectly cooked lamb, a colorful & fresh variety of salads, creamy hummus, & an exquisitely assembled dessert. Simple, flavorful, & done right. Highly, highly recommended.
We enjoyed a wonderful group evening at this beautiful venue. The team was warm, welcoming & fun. The food was sublime & perfect in everyway (fresh, delicious, well presented, perfect temperature, great sizes). Great drink options, discovered great authentic options from Lebabon. Important note, no stairs to access the venue or washrooms making it very accessible for all (this becomes so important when we want to our elderly family members to join), Can't wait to visit again.
I have never tasted something as this delicious as the food at this place, in whole city of Montreal! It's so great generously served with fresh bread, rich dishes & kind service. Highly recommended, love from Iraq ❤?
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.
Wonderful 1st experience at Bayrut restaurant! The food is delicious, filled with amazing fresh flavours, very well presented & the servings are generous. Every member of the staff is devoted & very nice. The Chef came to talk to us as I wanted to thank him for his dedicated work. The music is festive & the place is very clean. I highly recommend this restaurant & the tasting menu.
