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!
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.
The food was excellent! It's is fresh & tasty, the price quality ration is a rare find. If you want an authentic Syrian & a great service, this is the place !
As a Turkish person, I needed this. The food was phenomenal: very authentic & tasty! The environment is cozy & quiet enough to enjoy your company. Our server was so amazing, incredibly sweet & genuine. I wish I was friends with him. This place made me be so grateful to be in Montreal, sitting in a chair, chewing on the most delicious food to ever be created. You need to get ayran, you're not a real one if you don't.
Super sweet lil gem with the most delicious plates! Went here for my anniversary with my boyfriend. The Polo drink is delicious & every dish we ordered was equally tasty. Very courteous staff, cool vibes (old films streaming through a projector on the wall), nice & quiet for an intimate date. I also appreciate they had gender neutral bathrooms.
Tried this new restaurant this week through Uber Eats.
I ordered the sujuk sandwich, kebab hindi, yalanji, muhammara, & halawet el jibn (total: $78.69).
Overall, it's a good restaurant. The sujuk sandwich came with salad & potatoes. The sandwich itself was small but tasty-the sujuk had good flavor. However, I didn't love the bread; it felt more like a wrap than a traditional Arabic sandwich.
The only item I really disliked was the yalanji. The rice was undercooked & the overall taste reminded me of canned yalanji from Costco or wtv. They don't specify the quantity on Uber Eats, but we received around six pieces.
Before ordering, I noticed some reviews mentioning small portions. Personally, I felt the portions for most items were fair for the price-except for the sujuk sandwich, which was sadly small & not filling at all.
The halawet el jibn was okay; it came with four pieces.
The muhammara & the kebab hindi were good as well.
Overall, it's a decent restaurant, but in my opinion, Fol Fol restaurant is still much better.
