Byblos Le Petit Café is described in reviews as a warm and inviting spot with a Persian influenced menu and a presentation that blends traditional flavors with Western plating, where dishes have a homemade character and a focus on breakfast and brunch such as feta omelettes, bread and jams, and vegetarian options; diners praise the depth of flavor and the comforting nature of the dishes, the charming or bohemian decor, and good value, while noting service can be inconsistent and occasional delays during peak hours as well as some concerns about cleanliness and attentiveness in the dining room; overall the venue is seen as a memorable Persian inspired spot in the city with a welcoming vibe that keeps guests coming back for the cozy atmosphere and distinctive dishes.
For someone who really loves Persian food & Persian breakfast, I was expecting so much more. The food was just okay - not very flavorful or memorable - & the portions felt small for the price. The drinks were especially disappointing. We asked multiple times if the juice was fresh, but it tasted frozen or possibly old, & the latte tasted watered down. Overall, the experience didn't feel authentic or worth the cost. Hopefully they improve the freshness & quality because Persian food can be so much better than this.

Please don't miss your chance when it comes to try this Persian restaurant. From breakfast to dinner each meal is simply unique with flavors & menu diversity. Plus, the staff was lovely throughout the whole time & the accommodation, seatings & décor was all great! It gave me this calm impression like I could enjoy my meal & have a unique experience, & the neighborhood is also a great place to take a walk right after so location wise I wouldn't have put it better. Please, I can't repeat it enough but go have a meal you'll have a wonderful time over there.
Sympa cafe. Ma femme a bien aime l'omelette feta. On aurait aime des pains plus frais ou fait maison. Le service etait correct meme si la serveuse ne connaissait pas le plat du jou
Hands down my favourite spot in Montreal! I tell literally whoever will listen that Byblos is the best. The interior is beautiful & so cozy, & the food is incredible. Both the dinner service & the brunch are to die for. HUGE recommend!
I've eaten here twice now & it has been delicious both times. I went on a busy day my first trip, & we put our names on the list & wandered around. The cafe is situated in a beautiful neighborhood, so it is easy to pass the time. The second time was a quiet day & we were sat immediately. The Iranian tea is amazing & beautifully served, & my favorite food is the feta omelet.
On a eu une mauvaise impression de ce resto. Le serveuses ont pas été assez accueillantes & on nous a jamais demandé si on voulait qq chose ou si tout était à notre goût etc. (ex. Notre serveuse n'a jamais rempli nos verres d'eau pendant notre présence).
En parlant des repos, tous les plats ont été froids & j'avais l'impression qu'ils avaient été réchauffés dans le micro-ondes & avaient perdu la chaleur rapidement.
Je sais que nous comme iraniens sommes pas décontractés par la bouffe mais on s'attendait un bon service & des plats de haute qualité culinaire tel qu'on mérite. Merci !

One of the older Persian-style restaurants in Montreal, known for its authentic recipes & distinctive atmosphere. The cuisine is an interesting fusion, traditional Persian flavors presented with a more Western-style plating & presentation. The overall setting & décor also reflect this blend of cultures.
The food carries a strong homemade character, with the kind of depth & care you would expect from traditional Persian cooking. The location is also very good & convenient.
The only weak point was the customer service, which felt less welcoming & patient than expected!
Still, it remains a memorable place for Persian-inspired cuisine in the city.
Such nice people working here. The atmosphere is very calm & sunny. & the food is amazing with lots of vegetarian options & also they provide gluten free bread if needed
Decor boheme, belle musique du monde & bonne bouffe perse (iran). Je recommande le plat du jour pour le souper ou encore l'omelette au feta pour le brunch. Ils ouvrent toutes les fenêtres l'été.
I love this place as a cafe strictly. The food is, as most people have mentioned in reviews, lackluster. Good chocolate cardamom cake, but I probably wouldn't have supper here again. You really want to stay for the atmosphere, but the service is always terrible. After returning multiple times, it seems the staff begins to ignore you after coming by once, & will not clear your table until you leave...dirty plates with bones were left on our table after we were done eating & were not cleared for 30+ minutes even though we wanted to stay for tea afterwards. Consistently poor service & rude waitstaff, unfortunately.
Ce resto a bien changé au fil du temps. Petites portions avec un mauvais mais très mauvais goût, le café imbuvable & la propreté du resto laisse à désirer. De plus, les propriétaires ne sont pas réactifs aux différents commentaires que nous envoyons tous. C'est terminé pour nous, nous irons ailleurs.
