Bei - Beiroots propose une sélection soignée de cuisine libanaise, privilégiant des méthodes de préparation traditionnelles pour ses sandwichs signature et ses salades fraîches. Le menu met en valeur des saveurs méditerranéennes audacieuses grâce à des viandes assaisonnées avec précision, du houmous onctueux maison et des légumes croquants sélectionnés pour leur fraîcheur optimale. Les clients choisissent parmi diverses options de protéines, telles que le poulet mariné ou le bœuf savoureux, intégrées dans un pain pita chaud avec une authentique toum à l'ail ou une sauce tahini. La cuisine privilégie la rapidité et la constance, garantissant que chaque repas maintient un équilibre textuel distinct entre les garnitures croquantes et les ingrédients tendres. Les salades de taboulé et de fattouche offrent un contrepoint rafraîchissant aux plats plus riches présents sur le menu.
Bei est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable à Montréal pour savourer une cuisine libanaise authentique, grâce à la fraîcheur de ses ingrédients, la qualité de son pain Saj et la saveur de ses shawarmas. Le restaurant est souvent décrit comme propre, élégant et accueillant, offrant une atmosphère agréable qui convient aussi bien aux étudiants qu'aux professionnels. Bien que la majorité des avis soulignent un service exceptionnel et des portions généreuses à des prix abordables, quelques clients ont noté des incohérences concernant les temps d'attente, les préférences d'assaisonnement ou le professionnalisme de certains employés. Dans l'ensemble, c'est une adresse vivement recommandée pour ceux qui recherchent un goût authentique de Beyrouth dans un cadre moderne au centre-ville.
Good place in Centerville for a no-nonsense middle eastern meal. Ordered the Halloumi & Boeuf/Beef Bei Pita Wraps & French Fries - as part of a customary'Trio', a soda can drink came along with the meal. The Wraps had good Halloumi Cheese, veggies, chunks of shaved rotisserie Beef, & sauces - all assembled in deli style. The Fries were deliciously seasoned & crisp! The meal was entirely affordable, setting us back by approx. CAD 30, including taxes & tips. Seating is limited downstairs but additional tables are located upstairs - clean place, only minor wrinkle being non-use of gloves by a friendly person behind the assembly line as he handled veggies - soon redressed cheerfully upon request.
Generational Shawarma. Crispiest Saj Bread known to man, juiciest cuts of beef, & garlic sauce not from this Earth. It would be a shame to come to Montréal & miss this.

Honestly, I was really impressed with the food. Everything tasted fresh & super flavorful. The beef shawarma was easily one of the best I've had in Montreal, & I've tried a lot of spots. The halloumi & fattoush were just as good, everything felt well made.
On top of that, the customer service was great. The staff were friendly, welcoming, & made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you're into shawarma.
Right in the heart of downtown Montreal - prime spot for university & college students - & I have to say, I was genuinely pleasantly surprised.
First off, major credit for the marketing & design. Everything felt thoughtfully done. The colors, the wallpaper, the art, even the layout - it all works. You walk in, there's stairs to the right leading upstairs for more seating, a beautiful arza (Lebanese cedar) feature that immediately gives you that cultural nod, the shawarma spits front & center, & a super clean counter. The owner was working when I went, which I always appreciate.
I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first - there are so many shawarma spots in Montreal, & not all of them are truly shawarma. But everything looked fresh, & it delivered.
I ordered the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, chicken sandwich, & the za'atar fries with sauce.
The za'atar fries were excellent - honestly a highlight. Great seasoning, great flavour.
The beef was my favourite - really solid. The chicken shawarma was pretty authentic (& I say this as someone Lebanese), though for my personal taste it had a bit too much toum (garlic sauce), & I would've liked a bit more tang to balance it. I did get it extra crispy, which I'd recommend. Loved that they include fries inside the sandwich - that classic touch.
Location-wise, downtown isn't my favourite because it's always jam-packed, but that's part of the vibe.
Overall, I really enjoyed it & will definitely be back. Great execution, thoughtful branding, & genuinely good shawarma. Well done.
In very recent years we went from zero good shawarma in Montreal to quite an extensive selection, but BEI is just AMAZING!! The beef shawarma with grilled saj bread is insanely good!
If you're looking for one of the best - if not *the* best - Lebanese restaurants in Montreal, Bei is a must-try.
I tried the beef shawarma saj & the chicken shawarma saj, & both were absolutely outstanding. The saj was perfectly crispy on the outside while staying soft & warm inside. The portions were generous, filled with juicy, flavorful beef & chicken.
The toum was divine - creamy, garlicky, & the perfect complement. You can truly taste the freshness in every bite.
The ambiance makes it even more special. Lebanese songs playing in the background truly give you a taste of Beirut right here in Montreal. It feels warm, vibrant, & authentic - like a little escape to Lebanon.
An amazing experience overall. Highly recommend for anyone craving high-quality Lebanese food & a true Lebanese vibe!
Unfortunately, this was the worst chicken shawarma I've had. The chicken was very dry, the garlic sauce had a bitter taste, & the beef was only slightly better. I also found the prices quite high for the quality. I purchased 4 trios & 2 chicken sandwiches for a total of $109
