Came with a group of around 10 for lunch & had a wonderful meal. We shared a lot of dishes & some highlights were the fresh bread with butter & cheese, the Baba Ganoush, & the Veggie Shish Barak. Service was very friendly & prompt, will definitely be back :)
An unforgettable experience! The food is made with ancient, authentic family recipes that you won't find anywhere else. Every bite feels rich with tradition & absolutely delicious!

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!
Lovely experience in Montreal at Bayrut! The food is really special, not the usual Lebanese you find in most places but authentic yet fine & delicious. Warm & welcoming atmosphere & great drinks selection. A must try ✨
Best place we've eaten at all year! One of the reviews I read said this restaurant deserves to be a Michelin star restaurant, & I agree. Luckily we are in Montreal for a few more days & will be able to return to try out some of the other dishes on the menu. We had the loubieh, the shish barak & the daily special of cabbage stuffed with ground lamb & rice & everything was cooked & seasoned to perfection.
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!).
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.'
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.
