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 is described as a warm, inviting gem in Montreal where authentic Lebanese cuisine is delivered with a home cooked touch. Reviewers consistently praise generous tasting menus, fresh pita with traditional butter, creamy hummus, vibrant fattoush, and a wide range of shareable dishes that feel like family cooking. The service and hospitality are highlighted as outstanding, with staff attentive, friendly, and clearly proud of the cooking, and many experiences include personal touches from the team. There are occasional critiques about price and portion size, and a few opinions that some dishes lean toward presentation over tradition, but the overall consensus is that the flavors are fresh, balanced, and comforting. Several notes mention house made butter, truffle hints in the hummus, Lebanese wines, and standout items like lamb, freekeh, grape leaves, and shish barak, reinforcing Bayrut as a destination for authentic flavors in a modern, cozy setting. Overall, the reviews describe a memorable, heartwarming dining experience with generous hospitality and quality food that many visitors say makes it worth returning for another tasting menu or a new dish.
I had been meaning to try this restaurant since the summer & am so glad I finally did! Everything we ate was delicious, & I would strongly recommend. The staff was very kind & attentive too.

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.
One of the best experience we had in Montreal, trying this authentic Lebanese restaurant. The food was so delicious & the service was excellent. H8ghly recommended.
We went for a late lunch & shared a number of mall dishes. Friendly, quick service & delicious food! We
Especially enjoyed the shrimp in their delicious sauce, the freekeh salad is beautiful & tasty, the Kinney were also excellent. We will definitely return.
Déjà ma deuxième fois chez vous & j'y retournerai encore & encore. Nourriture excellente & quoi dire du service qui est toujours à la perfection. Merci!
Les plats sont excellents, de la vraie cuisine maison. Les parts sont plus que généreuses. On a eu droit à des feuilles de vignes farcies, gracieuseté de la maison. Très bon service, attentionné.

Amazing experience at Bayrut. The food is authentic & delicious. Lots of little details that contribute to a special exquisite taste. Service is impeccable & the decor is very soothing. Highly recommend it.
Delicious, upscale Lebanese food! The tasting menu is very worth while & practically impossible to finish given the portion sizes. They also have Lebanese wines which is rare to find in Canada.
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…
We enjoyed a wonderful group evening at this beautiful venue. The team was warm, welcoming & fun. The food was sublime & perfect in everyway (fresh, delicious, well presented, perfect temperature, great sizes). Great drink options, discovered great authentic options from Lebabon. Important note, no stairs to access the venue or washrooms making it very accessible for all (this becomes so important when we want to our elderly family members to join), Can't wait to visit again.
