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! ✨
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.
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.
The BEST Lebanese food in Canada. I have never tried such variety of authentic Lebanese food anywhere else in Canada. Of course there are many good Lebanese fast food chains that are great but Bayrut is such a unique place to actually finally introduce real Lebanese authentic cuisine in Montreal!! BRAVO - please come to Vancouver :-)
The service was good, but the food really wasn't worth the price. The quality didn't match what we paid, & overall it just wasn't very good. There are definitely other Lebanese restaurants that do it much better for the same price.
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 .
Absolutely amazing! My first experience with Lebanese food & I was blown away. We ordered may different dishes so I could try a variety of dishes. Owner was super sweet & gave us free desserts to go!! Cannot rave enough about this spot!!

Best Lebanese restaurant in Montreal. My friend & I were visiting from Nova Scotia & we loved the food, staff & environment. Food was very authentic & it's a must try.
Good place. Very traditional Lebanese. They explain every dish. Our bartender Joya was very nice. Made us Arak Rose. Also good variety of Lebanese wine. Very good. Highly recommend.
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.
Small place, Way overpriced ... I guess it reflects rent in Griffintown ... Not authentically classic Lebanese place ... No formulas, more like tapas style... small portions (don't be surprised) ... but the hot pita bread keeps coming 😋
The most authentic Lebanese food with the best service. Andrew was amazing & very proud to make us taste & explain the story behind the true foundation of food in his country. Even the owners greeted us with great hospitality. The food was 10 out of 10
