I'm Lebanese & I can tell you - this is the best new spot in town. Thank you for opening this place & giving us a reason to gather. Special shoutout to the polo drink, the mint lemonade! The shish barak, the fattoush, everything was great.
Spectaculaire experience from start to finish. Highly recommend the kebab & the shish tawook, & don't forget to end the meal off with their delicious halawet al jibn.
Superbe expérience culinaire, on a tout adoré ! Pour 2 personnes, on a pris shish barak, dégustation de mezze, le freekeh & le dessert, & c'était parfait en quantité ! Aussi le pain pita arrive tout chaud & c'est en illimité 🤩
Coup de coeur pour le houmous, vraiment incroyable, & le plat d'agneau qui s'effiloche accompagné de blé vert bien goutu ! Le dessert conclut vraiment bien le repas : c'est frais, avec de la pistache & un petit goût de miel.
La prochaine fois, j'aimerais bien tenter le poisson pané en plat (sayadeyeh)
1 seul serveur (super gentil !) pour toute la salle par contre, donc vers 19h c'est un peu plus lent.

Stopped by for an impromptu lunch & we were blown away. The service was warm, the food thoughtfully curated & so so delicious - the meats were so tender & flavourful, the shish barak is to die for. We haven't stopped talking about the food. One of their drinks (jallab) & their dessert also became instant favourites.
What a pleasure it was to dine at Brocard on New Year's Eve! It was wonderful to find that the food & service were every bit as good as their numerous 5 star reviews suggested. We received a warm & friendly greeting on arrival & we were immediately shown to our reserved table. Given that it was New Year's Eve, the restaurant was busy throughout our visit. Nevertheless, the service was continuously prompt & delightful. We ordered the yalangi (stuffed grapevine leaves), shish barak (veal dumplings) & batersh (eggplant dip topped with veal in tomato sauce). Each of these mezze were exceptionally tasty. My wife also tried the'Tamer Hindi' (tamarind drink) & it was delightfully refreshing. For our mains we chose the fatet mozat (lamb in a tahini yogurt sauce) & sayadeyeh (fried cod fillet). Both of these dishes were also delicious & generously portioned for the price. We didn't have room for dessert, but look forward to returning to try their dessert as well as many other savoury items. We highly recommend this charming restaurant.
My partner & I came here for our anniversary dinner over the weekend & had a lovely experience. Service was incredibly welcoming. The restaurant is small & not overly packed with tables so it feels intimate.
We got their house wine & Polo drink(I recommend!!), shish barak to start, & each got the shish tawook entree. Everything was delicious. Definitely want to come back to try a variety of their mezzes.
Great little date spot or place for friends & celebrations.
Very dissapointed in my order... the food was good but very small portion for the price. The pictures on uber eats are deceiving. I order shish barak (12$) tabouleh (10$) & shish tawook ( 23$) & everything should be at least 5 $ less for the portion.
Excellent rapport qualité-prix! Ça faisait longtemps que je n'avais pas aussi bien mangé à un prix si abordable. Nous étions trois (dont deux qui n'avaient pas mangé de la journée) & avions pris comme entrées le muhammara, mutabbal, hummus kebab & shish barak, & comme plats principaux le fatet mozat, sayadeyeh & damascus kebab - tous étaient délicieux sans exception, mais mes préférés étaient le shish barak & le fatet mozat. Service attentionné également. Nous sommes repartis avec trois boites de restants. 150$ total incluant tx & tips.
Amazing Syrian food in Montreal! The menu is really tasty, generous, & super affordable. My favorites were the Shish Barak, Fatet Mozat, & Freekeh, all must-tries.
The service was great, especially from Homam, who made the experience even better.
Really really good new opening! Clean & pretty, super friendly service with great recommendations, & delicious food (freekeh was very nice, as were the potatoes on the shish tawook).
