I had the lunch tasting menu & it was absolutely DELICIOUS! The tabbouleh was so incredibly fresh, the'chicken toast' with garlic sauce…oh my goodness!! I also loved the stuffed grape vines & the hummus! We tried a dumpling dish that I've never tasted, & it was really good too - it was fun to discover something new!
The food was top notch & the service was exceptional. The staff were so welcoming & the owner came out more than once to make sure we were enjoying our experience. I would definitely recommend & return!
I went here sort of randomly because it was late & it was nearby. I honestly wasn't really expecting to go somewhere fancy but I wound up being quite surprised by this place. I'm not entirely sure if I spoke with the owner or someone else but some man & all the service staff were all very nice & accommodating. The food was expensive so keep that in mind but it was all very good with unique & rich flavours. My meal was taking a bit long to be made so they even gave me some complimentary hummus & some other things. The hummus was really good. My main was the chicken freekeh & there were so many ingredients (& even colours) I'd never seen in food before, the chicken was very tender & the grains had a very hearty earthy flavour. The potatoes were excellent. If you have the budget & want Mediterranean I would highly recommend.
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! ✨
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!
Superbe expérience, je recommande de prendre plusieurs entrées & plats à partager pour avoir la chance de tout gouter ! Le hummus Bayrut a été notre favori à tous & le staff etait super sympathique :) vraiment contente de notre soirée !
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.
The prices are unjustified, is too pricey
Bowl of hummus 18$, are you serious?
The restaurant in short focuses way too much on the presentation which is amazing but that should not be an excuse to charge 18$ for hummus just because it has some flowers in it.
Frankly speaking, its an Instagram restaurants, wanna have some good pics & post & oh wow look this! then this is your spot.
All im saying is, food is good ,but prices are not. its good restaurant but its not gonna have loyal customers that will come back again. Due to high price
Amazing food, 100% hit super close to home. Everything my wife & I ordered was so delicious & the restaurant itself was really great, everyone there was super nice, got to meet the owner & the chef too & they were great. I'm definitely coming back, my favorite dish that my wife & I ordered has to be a tie between the Báyrüt Hummus & the L'sanat, I haven't eaten those two dishes like that since I was a kid, I've never had it that perfect anywhere else in Canada & for my wife she absolutely loved the Kebbey Nayee & even said she's never had it that tasty outside of home. We had also ordered Warak Enab & it was so juicy & delicious. & to finish it all off we got to try the Ghzel El Banet with ice cream & omg was it amazing. Couldn't be more perfect
One of the best, if not the best, Lebanese kitchens I've ever experienced.
Every bite was a pleasure. The slow-cooked lamb was incredibly tender & full of depth. You can taste the hours behind it.
& the Bayrut hummus? Smooth, silky, & perfectly balanced.
The service was outstanding. I never had to ask for anything. The staff seemed to sense when I needed something & were there instantly without hovering.
The atmosphere was elegant & cosy, like in a family home. Refined, warm, & welcoming all at once.
An unforgettable experience. I'll definitely be back.
Special Thanks to Michel! It was a great pleasure to have you as a host!
