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.
J'ai beaucoup aimé l'expérience dans ce beau restaurant les plats sont vraiment délicieux & on sent que ce sont des recettes authentiques . Le propriétaire m'avait dit que c'était les recettes de sa maman & je le crois.
Il est venu nous voir à table avec le chef pour s'assurer que tout était à notre goût.
Surtout je vous conseille la salade fattouche les pommes de terre au sumac les haricots vert avec la sauce tahini, les cubes d'agneau & les crevettes. À la fin le crème glacée avec des cheveux d'ange & des pistaches est un des meilleurs dessert que j'ai mangé dernièrement. Bravo & bonne chance au nouveau propriétaire!

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!
One of the best, if not the best, Lebanese kitchens I've ever experienced.
Every bite was a pleasure. The slow-cooked lamb was incredibly tender & full of depth. You can taste the hours behind it.
& the Bayrut hummus? Smooth, silky, & perfectly balanced.
The service was outstanding. I never had to ask for anything. The staff seemed to sense when I needed something & were there instantly without hovering.
The atmosphere was elegant & cosy, like in a family home. Refined, warm, & welcoming all at once.
An unforgettable experience. I'll definitely be back.
Special Thanks to Michel! It was a great pleasure to have you as a host!
Loved every bit of it. It's the most authentic Lebanese cuisine experience I had outside lebanon. The hummus, freeki with chicken, shish barak.... Everything is just awesome.

Bayrut offers fantastic lebanese food in a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The dishes are flavorful & beautifully presented, with top-notch service & attention to detail. Clean, neat, & perfect for any occasion!
Absolutely loved this restaurant! The hospitality & food was 10/10! Everything is so well thought by & the owner went above & beyond to make us taste the best of the Lebanese cuisine! Very authentic experience, it feels like home!
It pains me to write this review because I genuinely wanted to love this place, but unfortunately, it fell short. The food was decent, but nowhere near the standards set by other Lebanese restaurants on the island of Montreal. While the restaurant aims to stand out by offering a more'homemade' style of Lebanese cuisine, it doesn't quite capture the authentic flavors one would expect. That said, the dessert options helped improve the overall experience, & the service was excellent throughout.
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.
