Had a beautiful patio dinner here one evening in June. Ordered a cocktail & two appetizers, which was more than enough food for one person. They also brought out complementary breadsticks with labneh & za'atar to accompany the cocktail, which was very kind.
Servers were lovely - attentive without being overbearing.
Restaurant serves higher-end food in a touristy part of town - the prices reflect that.
Overall, a great meal & I would definitely return again.View more

We had the most amazing experience. Every plate of food was delicious! The flavours were perfect & there was not one thing that we ordered that wasn't loved. As a big group we ordered several plates & ate family style & it was perfect. The cocktails were also beautiful & delicious! Our server was lovely & super helpful as well.View more

Les cocktails étaient bons, particulièrement le chamomile whiskey sour! Pour les entrées, la salade fattoush & le houmous & shawarma sont vraiment excellentes! J'aurais pris plus de betteraves dans l'entrée de betteraves rôties. Le plat de morue noire est délicieux ainsi que les côtes de boeuf braisées. Les portions sont parfaites. Par contre, concernant le service, je n'ai pas été impressionnée. Malgré une salle pas très achalandée, nous devions appeler la serveuse pour commander autre chose. Jamais elle nous a demandé si nous voulions du dessert.View more

The restaurant inside is not big at all but cute & cozy. Our waiter i believe his name was Dean was super fantastic! The food was also amazing! i didn't take pics of everything because we dove right into it. I'm very picky with food & with this food being my traditional food i was even more skeptic so as we all say our mom makes it better lol. However to my surprise everything was amazing! Fatoosh was so so good & Shish Tawook also so tender & melts in your mouth! We were too full & couldn't order dessert but i really really wanted to try the famous Baklava Pancakes so we ended up going the next day just to have that. DONT miss it....it's amazing!!!! Save room for dessert. The wine was also Great as well as the Butterfly cocktail I believe it's called. Next time we are in Montreal I will definitely be coming back!View more

We sat outside & had a party of 7. Our waiter was friendly & was a joy to interact with. We had cocktails & the Beirut beer which were all fantastic. We shared a variety of dishes but the ribs were an absolute delight. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for Lebanese food.View more

It probably is the best spot in the old port to grab some nice food & drinks. We ordered the muhammara, zaatar focaccia, kibbeh naye, soujouk, manti, lamb shawarma tacos & fattet batinjein - everything were delicious & portions were decent enough to share between 3-4 people at a reasonable price. As for drinks, we took the butterfly effect & the patron spritz, which were all nice as well. When I first drank the butterfly effect cocktail, I made a slight face because I found it too strong but it was my fault as I didn't mix it enough - but the lovely bartender immediately noticed it & didn't hesitate to offer me a new drink (to which I declined since it was my mistake & when mixed enough the drink is amazing). The waitors & waitresses were quick & polite as well. Service & food are 10/10. I used to always go to Damas but this might be my new favorite place to go for Syrian/Lebanese food, especially this summer when it will be terrasse season.View more

A charming relatively new restaurant with a great modern twist on the Levant cuisine. The place is super ambient & they have great cocktails & food. I really enjoyed the muhamara, fattet bitinjein, kibbe nayye (beef tartare) & the lamb shawarma taco was out of this world. If you have a sweet tooth, I definitely recommend the baklava pancakes, they are to die for!View more
