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.

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 ❤?
If you're looking for real unapologetically authentic Lebanese food in Montreal, this place is it. Every single dish hits with the same quality, flavor & finesse you'd expect from top spots back home in Lebanon. Nothing misses.
The team is genuinely amazing warm, attentive, & they make you feel like you're eating at a family house. The drinks u'd think they seem only Creative but honestly addictive.
Highly recommend. this is one of those spots you visit once & immediately plan your next visit. & you want to to take all your friends & tell them this is how my grandma's food taste back home.
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.
I have been to almost all the recommended lebanese restaurant in town & although mediterranean food is great, after a while, all the menus are almost a replica of each other, one a little more fancy on the plating, one a bit more delicate, one has a little twist of the fattouch but at the end, it's predictable. I was pleasantly surprised to at Bayrut to find items I have never tasted before! The Bayrut chicken toast, the bayrut butter that is handmade & prepped for hours, their lahmajoun was different, the shish barak, which is not normally something I like, was prepared differently making the little'dumplings' softer in the bite, the freekeh... It is really true family cooking found in all parts of Lebanon & not just your usual popular dishes.

Bayrut serves absolutely amazing Lebanese food! Every dish was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully presented. The staff were super friendly & welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Bayrut to anyone craving authentic Lebanese cuisine ⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?⭐?
Came here on a Saturday with my family & we loved everything about Bayrut. The food & the service is of the line & made our experience really memorable. 10/10 recommend.
We went for the tasting menu which is highly recommended. A lot of great appetizers but the stars were definitely the main dishes. We initially wanted to order the Mleheyee (lamb) but they had run out, & a new batch was going to take an hour or so. So we ordered the chicken Freekeh. To our surprise, they did manage to get us a small lamb plate for tasting & it was absolutely amazing! Overall a wonderful experience. Looking forward to trying your brunch!
Beautiful restaurant, beautiful atmosphere with the lighting & decoration. The food was absolutely wonderful.. Its fresh, flavourful & its BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED. The waitress & manager there was very welcoming. Chef was amazing as well! He came out to present himself. I could feel them putting so much passion into every dish. Overall a fantastic experience. Highly recommend 👍

Beautiful experience! The food tasted so authentic, like a comforting home-cooked meal made with love. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, & beautifully presented. The freshly baked bread was absolutely delicious - warm, soft, & the perfect start to the meal. The service was just as memorable, with a friendly & welcoming team that made us feel right at home. Everything came together to create a warm & inviting atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for genuine Lebanese flavors.
Bayrut is more than just an authentic lebanese restaurant, it is a one-of-a kind dining experience. From the moment you walk-in to this place, you feel warmth & kindness.
They offer you a welcome trio that consists of freshly baked pita, that just came out of the oven. It is accompanied by delicious olives that are directly imported from Lebanon & home-made butter that I have never tasted anything alike previously. Their'Hummus Bayrut' is a must-try, it is very creamy.
It is very evident that the owners of this place worked tirelessly to come up with this gourmet menu. They take care of every detail from the decoration of the place to the food to the music playing in the background.
I am so happy I got to experience Bayrut & I am looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommended!
I would highly recommend this resto to anyone looking for an awesome Lebanese meal. We pretty much ordered the entire menu, as we were many people & every dish was better than the other. The service was impeccable & the vibe was great on a Friday night. We can't wait to go back, we've discovered a gem in the heart of Griffintown!

I can't describe how amazing this place is. The hospitality, the care, the food, & most importantly the passion put into this place. Genuinely can't recommend this place enough. Give it a visit (or 10!).
J'ai récemment visité le restaurant Bayrut & j'ai été agréablement surpris par cette découverte. L'endroit est cosy & superbement décoré, parfait pour une ambiance intime, & le propriétaire est d'une sympathie incroyable!
Le hummus à la truffe est un délice, tout comme la salade fattoush, pleine de saveurs. La langue de boeuf, mijotée à la perfection, est un must-try 🤤Pour finir, le dessert bouza barba à papa avec du kadaif & une touche de cardamome était fabuleux.
A must try in Griffintown area.
Mainly a Lebanese restaurant with a special touch different from the classic ones
They offer you to try olives, kichek akhdar & their special & secret recipe butter.
Awesome with hot bread
Salads:
Tabbouleh Spinach where spinach is mainly replacing the biggest portion of parsley delicious
The Bayrut salad with dried tomatoes & goat cheese is zesty & refreshing
The appetizers:
Hummus Bayrut : awesome creamy hummus with cashew & truffles
Lsanat: langues de boeuf wow smooth & tender
Ras asfour: filet mignon style beef with debes elremmen( sirop de grenadine)
The grilled octopus is soft & tender & melts. We had to order another one
Batata harra is a classic
Sambousek meat & cheese & kibbeh are also good for kids
Tried their brioche chicken with sumac
As main we recommend the Jarret Dagneau & Wine leaves
Jarret Dagneau is tender with tahini sauce & Bourgoul
Dessert the ice cream with Cotton candy & a base layer of knefeh/osmalyeh is a must
Highly recommended
