About

Byblos Le Petit Café focuses on the authentic preparation of traditional Persian recipes centered around saffron-infused rice, tender grilled skewers, and slow-cooked stews. The menu highlights a variety of vegetable-forward dishes, incorporating fresh herbs, legumes, and dried fruits to balance bold aromatic profiles. Patrons encounter a setting defined by cultural artwork and vibrant textile accents that mirror the rich heritage of Iranian culinary traditions. The kitchen prioritizes the use of high-quality proteins seasoned with classic spices like turmeric, sumac, and cinnamon to ensure depth of flavor in every serving. Each plate emphasizes careful assembly and natural ingredients rather than complex fusion techniques or modern culinary trends. This establishment remains a consistent destination for individuals seeking genuine regional flavors served in a straightforward, culturally immersive environment that honors long-standing Middle Eastern cooking methods.

Many visitors praise the restaurant for its signature feta omelet, homemade jams, and authentic tea service, frequently highlighting the bohemian atmosphere as an ideal setting for a relaxed meal.

I miss this place & came back to leave a review.. on the weekend sometimes is busy so expect a wait.. I will definitely be coming back again. It's an Iranian café & an amazing spot for brunch. If you're Levantine, you will especially love it. The decor is beautiful, cozy, & very welcoming. I really liked the feta omelette ( the best on the menu) & the jam was amazing as well. The yogurt & beetroot dishes were also great! 😊

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!

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.

We had Sunday brunch. The standard breakfast menu includes a beverage, bread of some sort, jam & potentially eggs. You can however order from anywhere in the menu including a variety of egg-based pies like quiche & prepared spreads like hummus, eggplant or beet-based concoctions that come with different types of bread for dipping. Gluten free bread & pita is available on request. The dishes were delicious though simple & more filling than they look. This is a good place to go for a group to share a few different dishes & get a good sampling.

Nous étions 4 convives, un dimanche pour le brunch & l'hôtesse française a oublié notre présence (a fait passer une autre tablée avant nous) alors que nous attendions depuis 20min

Ils nous on mis à une table où les serveurs nous frôlaient toujours…

Les plats sont arrivés désynchronisés & 2 des convives avaient quasi terminé lorsque j'ai demandé un suivi pour les plats manquants.

2e oubli…

les 2 plats d'omelettes au fêta restantes sont alors arrivés. On s'entend que lapparence & la préparation des 2 assiettes n'auraient pas du prendre 20min pour completer la tablee. C'etait une apparence de vomi/ bon gout toutefois.

Ils n'ont pas desservi les assiettes & tasses vides durant notre presence ni demandé si nous aimions ou avions besoin de quoique ce soit (rechaud café ou autre)

Je met des etoiles pour la forme & la renommée. Total fail

Je n'habite plus à Montréal, mais dès que je reviens en ville, le Byblos est un incontournable! Tout y est bon, tout y est beau! Meilleur endroit en ville pour un brunch goûteux & chaleureux!

A favourite of mine for the last 20 years. Their signature dish for breakfast or brunch is the feta omelette. Served with sweet bread & your choice of delicate jams.
