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.
I had an amazing experience at this restaurant! They serve delicious Persian traditional cuisine that you absolutely have to try. Every dish is full of flavor, with authentic spices & ingredients that make you feel like you're right in Iran. The variety is incredible, & each dish is crafted with such care. If you're looking for a unique, flavorful experience, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend trying a bit of everything to fully appreciate the diversity of Persian cuisine!
I love this place! This is just the type of restaurant I had been looking for in Montreal: beautiful simple space, quiet (no loud music & tables not too close) in a way conducive to conversation, with tasty & healthy food & lovely presentation. & the tea pots & small cups on these individual trays are a pleasure. I had the koukou with a perfectly seasoned side salad, & my party had the feta omelette. We had a delightful time. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quality & surroundings. I have already told my friends about this restaurant & will be back. Thank you!
Family owned restaurant! Beautiful. Amazing atmosphere- I enjoyed my plate of the day, the mint tea was amazing. The employees are incredibly nice. Service was quick. I would definitely return. The menu can be confusing for newcomers, but it isn't really an issue for most of us who just want to enjoy a nice day !

I know this cafe resto for more than 10 yrs. The owners are amazing. Food used to be always good. Its still ok but not the same as before. I hope the make it better; specially Khoresh Aloo & Ghorme sabzi!
J'y suis allée avec une amie pour le petit déjeuner, le goût est délicieux, mais c'est peut-être à cause de l'heure (dimanche matin) que le service était lent. J'étais affamée & j'ai dû attendre trop longtemps. Je vous recommande d'y aller lorsque vous avez du temps à perdre & que vous n'avez pas trop faim. La nourriture est exquise...Les serveurs étaient très sympathiques
Perfect delicious cute lovely ambiance & hosts!! This spot is so tastefully decorated with Persian art, in a beautiful neighborhood + delicious food & tea. We were visiting from NYC & will definitely come back with friends. This a place to bring your friends! One of our favorite hang out spots in the city.
