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.
So tasty & authentic Lebanese restaurant. Fresh high quality ingredients. Generous amount of meat. Definitely I will come back again. Wish you best of luck.
The owner is welcoming & attentive. The waiters provide excellent service & the food is outstanding, fresh, authentic & full of flavour. A great dining experience overall. By the way, the taboule is amazing. There mint, olive oil & lemon combination create a traditional fresh & vibrant aroma.
Small place, Way overpriced ... I guess it reflects rent in Griffintown ... Not authentically classic Lebanese place ... No formulas, more like tapas style... small portions (don't be surprised) ... but the hot pita bread keeps coming 😋
Je suis sans mots. Expérience traiteur incroyable!
Tous les plats étaient succulents, constitués de produits frais & sélectionnés, avec toute la passion d'un chef souhaitant partager les trésors de sa cuisine.
Plats sans gluten & végétarien également disponible, en toute confiance.
La livraison était soignée (malgré ma gaffe 😉), & l'amabilité du personnel ont rendu ce dîner une franche réussite. J'espère que nous nous reverrons bientôt! (J'ai déjà hâte)
The most authentic Lebanese food with the best service. Andrew was amazing & very proud to make us taste & explain the story behind the true foundation of food in his country. Even the owners greeted us with great hospitality. The food was 10 out of 10
We had an amazing catering experience for our company event. Muhannad went above & beyond to make sure everything was perfect, even taking care of beautiful decorations so everyone could enjoy the best experience.
The food was absolutely outstanding authentic Lebanese cuisine at its finest. Fresh, flavorful, & perfectly prepared.
5-star service & top-quality food. Bayrut is easily my #1 Lebanese restaurant in Quebec. Highly recommend!

Amazing find!! Our server was the sweetest & we got to meet with the chef who told us he cooks his mother's recipes. Not only was the service outstanding but so was the food. We discovered a variety of flavors & we still found space for an amazing dessert. Would 100% recommend & go back. Best restaurant in a while.
Excellent restaurant & new discovery in Montreal! Apparently, they opened up just a few months ago, so kudos to the team! I took my lady there for Valentine's day & we took the tasting menu. The food was great: delicious flavours, generous quantities, all served in beautiful dishes to share. Every thing was authentic & well executed. I highly recommend!
I don't understand how this establishment can justify these prices. It's insulting. $14 for potatoes: you get a handful of potatoes (at most) & they taste like fast food (cold, sat on a counter for hours). $60 for chicken: you get 2 legs, which are almost gray in color - not edible. Very pretentious. Service & wine was excellent though - very friendly staff.
The food was really bad & extremely overpriced. There's a plethora of Lebanese restaurants in Montreal with far superior food. I'm baffled by the high reviews.
A'must visit' Lebanese family run restaurant. A fantastic welcome, servicw & food. Went there Wednesday in February.
This family run restaurant is an unexpected gem on William St. It is authentic & charming. The food is of high quality, fresh & expertly prepared. The atmosphere is warm & the staff knowledgeable & interested in the clientele. They take a personal interest in ensuring customers have enjoyed every aspect of their meal which is impressive, even in a city where food service seems to be the norm. If we are ever back in Montreal we will be repeat customers! This restaurant absolutely deserves to succeed.
