Wowwwww! We got the tasting menu & were mind-blown! My partner's fave resto is Damas so we decided to try out this Syrian spot, & we were in complete awe! The food is so tasty, the meat melts in your mouth, the presentations were beautiful & artistic, & the service was exceptional! Tellement heureuse d'avoir découverte ce resto magnifique! Nous avons déjà hâte de revenir. Merci infiniment pour la qualité de votre service & de votre bouffe! & the chicken was sooooo juicy!!!!!
Delicious, authentic Syrian food in unpretentious setting. Our group had the tasting menu & we loved it! We enjoyed every dish & found the portions quite generous. The meat in particular was melt in your mouth, definitely quality cuts. We also appreciated the quick & friendly service despite the place being packed. Highly recommend, especially the tasting menu!
My evening here was overall a pleasant experience. The servers were nice & welcoming. I had the Freeekeh as an entree, the Yalangi as an appetizer & Halawet el Gebn for dessert. I would say the highlight was the dessert for sure. The freekeh was done well, although you couldn't really taste the stock in the freekeh, something I have pointed out to the staff.
One piece of feedback is that I felt that the staff weren't as attentive, at times I had to wait 5 mins to order something eventhough the restaurant wasn't busy at the time.
For a fine dining establishment, the prices were quite inexpensive. For a 3 course meal + drinks my total was around $80.
Overall, Brocard is an elegant & approachable representation of Syrian food culture.
Beautiful ambiance. Amazing food cooked with care, very welcoming & warm service, & great music choices at a pretty comfortable, intentional volume. Great spot for anyone wanting to try Syrian food.
Brocard is a wonderful find. The menu is refreshingly focused - no endless options, just a tight selection of traditional Syrian dishes done really well. Everything we had was flavourful & satisfying, & the portions were generous for the price point. Service was warm & attentive without being intrusive. You can tell the people running this place take pride in what they serve. Highly recommended for anyone looking for something authentic & unpretentious.
Chic restaurant with amazing food! If you've never tried syrian cuisine & would like to try for the first time, I really would recommend this place. U'll leave in awe!!
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.
The food was absolutely delicious, the best authentic Syrian cuisine in the city. The hospitality is top notch, servers & chef are super kind, hospitable, & welcoming. Would encourage anyone in the area to try this place out.
