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.

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!

It is a nice cozy authentic Lebanese resto! Servive was outstanding!
The appetizers were good except the batata harra ( spicy potato) which was very dry & tasted old & reheated. The cocktails were tasty but weak. The main dishes were delicious !!! I ordered freekeh & lamb!!! & it was exquisite!!!
Not lots of vegetarian main dishes!
Would I go back? Yes, to try other dishes before giving my final opinion!
BTW I am Lebanese so I know & understand the menu…

Great food, friendly service. Had some of the fermented goat cheese & 200 year old recipe butter to begin with & then two eggs. Very tasty.

Food was tasty, ambiance was really good, but frankly the portions are not very generous (smaller than expected) for the price. We had invited some friends & I was a bit embarrassed with the size of the dishes. :-(

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

This review is based on an independent visit, aiming for objectivity. While Bayrut Restaurant serves respectable Middle Eastern cuisine, there are other options in Montreal that offer **greater value & superior flavors** for the price.
The food at Bayrut is decent but not distinctive. The restaurant advertises fresh ingredients, yet only provides lemonade made from imported syrup. Bread servings were notably minimal, which was especially disappointing for dishes like hummus, labneh, brown butter, & kibbeh niyeh-frequently eaten with bread, but here, I resorted to using a fork. Rice portions were also sparse & failed to complement the otherwise tasty kibbeh arnabieh, which was the highlight of the meal. The three types of kibbeh niyeh (walnut, rose petals, pistachios) failed to impress, & the hummus was comparably ordinary.
Overall, Bayrut did not stand out from other Middle Eastern restaurants in Montreal. The experience lacked the transportive aromas, flavors, & hospitality you expect in a standout establishment. Service was satisfactory but showed signs of inexperience, with some staff evidently still undergoing training.
In short, Bayrut felt indistinguishable from several other unremarkable restaurants in Montreal; neither the ambiance, nor the food, nor the generosity made the visit memorable.

Went to BÁYR?T last night with three friends. Place looks new, full of people, nice decoration, good vibe. Definitely the type of place you take a date so they think you're cooler than you really are.
Joya the waitress… walla this girl is a machine. Alone, running the whole place, & still smiling & joking. You call her once, she's at your table like she's got teleportation powers. Big respect.
The Food:
Fattoush - really good, balanced, fresh, delicious. Portion could be bigger for the price, but honestly no complaints, we enjoyed it.
Hummus - it's hummus. We destroyed the plate.
Malfouf - ya zalameh… wow. Straight up home vibes. Chef, whoever you are, respect. This was the star of the night.
Chich Barak - just'good.' Nothing life-changing, but it did its job.
Ijjeh - crispy, fluffy, & dangerously close to my mom's. If she hears me say that, I'm dead.
Overall: fun vibe, tasty food, drinks needs some work, Joya deserves a raise, & honestly - every Lebanese eating here will say:'teta & mom would clap their hands & then remind you they still make it better.'
