Since 1986 Restaurant Boustan, has been serving up the exotic flavors of Lebanon in downtown Montreal. Satisfy your hunger by indulging in our carefully prepared dishes.
Boustan gets high marks for flavorful fresh food and generous portions at a good price, with shawarma, garlic potatoes, falafel and veggie pita bowls often singled out as standout items and the garlic sauce described as addictive. Service is repeatedly praised as friendly, fast and welcoming, contributing to a homey feel and a dependable experience for quick lunches or late nights out.

Overall Boustan is described as one of the best in Montreal and in some cases the top Boustan, making it a must try for visitors to the city.
Amazing, this is the original Boustan & it's quality can't be matched. The team working there is also the best. Is it ever a bad time for Boustan? Didn't think so
Best location I've ever been to. Very generous portions, the employee even walked to our table to give us an extra pita when he noticed my girlfriend & I sharing one meal. Great food & great service!

The biggie at the cash registers lack of professionalism is concerning. Saw him sneaking meat off the brochet with unwashed chubby hands. Please take the matter into consideration. Feed or fire your staff if necessary, he seemed rather hungry & concerned with the chicken instead of the customers… This large bearded man was more invested attempting to get young girls attention rather than taking their orders. Hungry for food & women at the same time is not okay. Should not be employed. Heard staff calling him Wallel, something like that, hopefully this helps.
Super bon service & super bonne qualité ! Les portions sont vraiment généreuses, le repas était chaud & très bien préparé. Franchement, la qualité & la quantité sont au rendez-vous. Je recommande Boustan au crescent à 100 %, c'est devenu un de mes endroits préférés !
