Across the reviews, Byblos Le Petit Café comes across as a warm, cozy spot with a calm, sunny atmosphere, a décor that blends bohemian charm with Middle Eastern touches, and a menu that offers a wide range of Persian and vegetarian options, plus gluten-free bread on request. The food is praised for bold flavors and nostalgic touches, with many diners raving about the feta omelette for brunch, the variety of egg-based pies, the traditional Iranian breakfast, dizi, and dips like hummus and beet spreads, with several dishes described as memorable. The staff and service are frequently noted as friendly and helpful, though several reviews flag slower service during busy times, occasional missteps with timing or table management, and cleanliness or upkeep issues in some visits. The venue is described as both a hidden gem and a great place to share plates with friends or family, especially in good weather when windows open to create an airy terrace, while winter seating is described as cozy. Price points are described as reasonable by some and overpriced by others, and a few reviews caution that expectations can vary and that the experience can be inconsistent. Overall, the consensus is that Byblos Le Petit Café delivers a distinctive, comforting Persian-influenced dining vibe with opportunities to explore a broad menu, but visitors should be prepared for occasional service delays and a few maintenance flaws.
If you're used to Western breakfasts like omelets, English ham & sausage, & Mon coco etc, try a traditional Iranian breakfast.
Byblos Restaurant is named after a city in present-day Libya with a 7,000-year history, once ruled by the Persian Empire.
Naan, feta cheese, dill herbs, olives, & radish, along with a cup of sweet Persian tea, make up the essential Persian breakfast. The warm, freshly baked bread & naan, paired with homemade jam from an Iranian mother, & the aromatic flavors of ginger & rose petals, create a rich & complex flavor.
Add scrambled eggs between pita bread for a complete & luxurious Iranian breakfast.
Dommage, un lieu très très sympa, personnel souriant & gentil, mais : 5,50$ pour un médiocre espresso allongé, accompagné des «patisseries iraniennes» : des bouts de pâtes insipides. Encore : dommage. J'ai voulu aimé ce resto.

The food was mediocre & overpriced. While paying at the counter, we noticed the food prep area looked quite unclean & not very sanitary, which was disappointing. Overall, it wasn't what I was hoping for, & I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Hidden gem in Montréal! This is such a lovely & cozy restaurant. Whether you want to grab something to eat or just drink something, this is a beautiful place to do so.
There's a nice variety of dishes & desserts. The service is kind & quick. & the atmosphere is just top-tier - the decoration is great & the vibe is so chill.
I was there for a quick bite & we stopped because the ambiance was nice.
They serve small plates & the food is very flavorful. I'm thinking of going for a full meal.
Expérience du samedi 26/07
La serveuse était vraiment de bon conseil & à mon écoute & riche de conseil
En revanche j'ai pas été hyper emballé par la cuisine
26$ tips inclu (15%) pour une omelette bonne mais pas vraiment incroyable- 1 latte soya (vraiment loupé peut être un des pires de ma vie) du pain & un peu de confiture qui ceci dit était bonne
En résumé je ne suis pas certain d'y retourner & c'est bien dommage

Don't expect quick service during rush hour. Nice staff & decoration. Food is adapted to local Canadian taste palette. (Nice way to say not for Persians)
Je sors toujours du Byblos avec le ventre bien remplis & le sourire aux lèvres! Une ambiance & une nourriture sans égal, merci à Reza pour ton service impeccable!
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!
