I've eaten at a lot of restaurants in Montreal, & Brocard just moved to the top of the list, not just for Syrian food, but for everything. The flavors & textures were incredible,l the service was warm & attentive, & the whole experience felt special from start to finish. This place is something else entirely.
One word: THE BEST!
I saw this place on Uber last night & decided to give it a chance - so glad I did. Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious. The fatoush, yalanji, hummus, kebab & more were all packed with amazing flavors. The packaging was also very well done. I'll definitely be ordering from here regularly.
EDIT: After this review, I don't know how many times I've ordered again. Always consistent & incredibly tasty!
My experience was a bit hit & miss... The lamb dish looked really good but as a pescatarian, I had only one option: deep friend fish. The whole plate was beige/brown, lacking flavor & the fish was VERY overcooked. The appetizer combo was good though I was strangely disappointed with the hummus which tasted only of chick peas. The service was friendly but lacked attentiveness. Overall it is worth a try for meat eaters but I really don't understand the perfect rating.

I had a good eve with my friend. My expectations were too high. My experience was average. Fattouch was good. Muhammara was too sweet. Chicken was good. BUT the garlic sauce
was disappointing. Tasted like a mayo with no garlic. Potatoes could have been better. The fish in the sayadeyeh was good but rice was a bit dry & lacked a bit of flavor. Presentation could be better. Girl waitress had a bit of an attitude but the guy waiter was super nice. Chairs are not
comfortable.
Where to begin? Service was amazing. Responsive & attentive despite having to serve everyone. Food was amazing. Great food, very flavorful. Presentation was special. Loved the special touches. We had the tasting menu - recommend if this is your first Syrian meal, or if you can't decide what to choose. Only snapped picture of the cold appetizers / notice pomegranates on the fattoush salad… We will come back.
?If you're looking for authentic Syrian flavors with a modern, stylish edge, BROCARD is the place!
It strikes that rare balance of feeling retro, authentic, & effortlessly cool-where the soundtrack shifts from Saint Levant to Kaytranada without missing a beat. The decor is stunning, featuring vintage movie posters, a projector playing B&W films, & even an oud on display.
?We came in for a Friday 18h30 reservation & the energy was already buzzing with a stylish, young crowd. We did the tasting menu on Humam's recommendation, & it was flawless. Every dish from the open kitchen - orchestrated but the talented Talal & Georges, was perfectly timed, flavorful, & beautifully proportioned. For the quality & the experience, the prices are incredibly reasonable. I've already booked my next visit for a larger group. Simply AMAZING!
The best authentic flavor of Syrian cuisine. Very excellent service. The entire staff are very friendly, professional. Definitely I'm coming back there
