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.
I stopped by Bei Downtown Montreal to grab a pita falafel sandwich for a quick dinner & to try it for the first time. Unfortunately, it was a real big disappointment.
The vegetables were fresh, but the falafel itself missed the mark. Instead of being crispy on the outside & light & fluffy on the inside, it was extremely soft & overly moist. It was also much too too salty & heavily spiced, which completely overpowered the other flavors. The texture simply wasn't what I expect from a good falafel.
I do not throw food away, but this time I couldn't even finish the sandwich. It was that disappointing.
Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend the falafel & I dont think that I will come back to try something else in the future since my first impression was unfortunately not a good one.
Officially the best Shawarma I've tasted in Montreal, crispy garlic potatoes to die for, nice salad selection, & the Saj wrap I had was spectacular! I dined in, & the ambiance was amazing, young hip clientele with a quieter mezzanine if you want to work or go on your laptop
Food is really good especially the chicken saj its like a wrap. The wrap is crispy super juicy i wish there was more chicken but besides that love it!
But the guy'Mo' is not that friendly to his co-workers if they make a mistake like one girl forgot to charge me for shawarma he blew up on her saying how could you forget that in a very toxic way. I felt bad for the girl i hope shes okey🫶🏻

I was simply wandering around Montreal thinking about life when I saw the little signage they put outside. I walked past at first & then my little ear told me to come back. I am glad I did.
Fries were crispy & delicious but it seems like the potatoes could be even better. Sorry, no pictures of the shawarma, it is resting peacefully in my belly as I write this :)
The shawarma chicken wrap was so good, ask for extra crispy is even better. Needed a bit more sauce in the middle but was very tasty. The French fries were so crispy & tasty!
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.
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!
