Review Summary

Le Petit Alep Bistro earns praise for its authentic Syrian Lebanese flavors and a warm, inviting atmosphere, with many guests recommending the tasting menu to explore a broad range of mezze and grilled dishes; the food is described as delicious and deeply flavorful, and the prices are often seen as fair for the quality, though a few visits note small portions or higher than expected costs and some dishes being too acidic or not balanced; service is repeatedly described as attentive and friendly, with strong wine recommendations and overall ambiance, while a minority report uneven pacing or hiccups during busy times.

One of the best restaurants in Montreal & they are not doing it with any gimmick. Just a plain old family owned restaurant serving great food & wine with good service

La Petit Alep was AMAZING & Alex impeccable!
Alex suggested taking a tasting tour in which we enjoyed their homemade pressed, sliced beef- better than prosciutto, muhummara, hummus, & fatoush. The filet mignon kabob was EXCELLENT! & the chicken kabob was excellent as well. We would've bought the beef sauce except we're going camping in a few days. The coconut pudding with ginger syrup & a jam was delish!
The sommelier have an excellent wine suggestion for the night as well.

My hubby who doesn't usually mention flavors specifically was getting descriptive himself. It was so good I had to close my eyes to fully enjoy & savor.

Alex was quite attentive, pleasant, welcoming, accommodating to us. His English was excellent

We had a horrible meal elsewhere although the restaurant was recommended to us. The meal was poor due to service taking 3 hours although we had two kids in tow, no flavor, overpaying for what we got. I feel like this meal redeemed our gastronomic experience in Montreal.

Excellent job Alex! Thanking God for this great find!

Disappointing experience: poor service; long wait times for food; the food was nothing special & wine was not served cold. Won't come back. Very overpriced

This place was a really great discovery! We went as a group of 6, some of us had been there before, but not me. The waiter recommended that they choose the dishes for us so we can get a taste of everything & we went with that option. One of us was a Celiac & they were able to accommodate the plates & the dishes for him. without a problem! We also weren't sure what to drink & they had a Sommelier that came & recommended wine for us for each of the servings. Both the waiter & Sommelier were super nice, joked with us, had great sense of humor & the food was just Soooo delicious. Every plate was detailed by our waiter to let us know what we were eating & why it was different, where some ingredients came from, etc... everything was just so good & the wine pairings was perfect as well. I can't say I had a favorite dish because everything was so good but also tasted different from the slow cooked lamb, filet mignon, kefka, hummus.. what a feast for the taste buds. Our Celiac friend was able to enjoy it all as well. I will definitely be going back here in the future. The price in the end for sure isn't for everyone, but you can go there & just get a plate, don't need to do what we did & prices were looking fair. I still think that considering all the food we ate & three bottles of wine & some other drinks, the price was really good.

Amazing tasting food & excellent quality of fish, shrimps & meat. Taboulé was very tasteful as well. I recommend getting the dégustation menu if it's your first time & you're looking for a traditional experience. Also plates are available in both small/large so you could go for drinks (a good selection of beers & wine) & order some mezze on the side.
