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.

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.

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.

50$ pour deux oeufs & un thé, pas de refills d'eau, les serveurs discutent entre eux au bar au lieu de servir les gens, on ira ailleurs! C'était un de mes restos déjeuner préférer il y a quelques années, la qualité, le service & le prix on bien changé.

Last night I went to Byblos & honestly, the Dizzy was far better than anything I normally cook; so good that I'm seriously considering stopping cooking Dizzy at home & just eating there instead.
The taste wasn't just good; it was impeccable. The balance & fragrance of the ingredients were on another level, something I simply can't recreate at home. Every bite took me straight back to my childhood & my grandmother's cooking.
This is an absolute must-try.
