C'est un endroit agréable & convivial. L'offre du menu est varié tant au niveau des entrées, des plats principaux & des desserts. On nous sort de notre zone de confort mais de façon agréable. Au niveau du service, c'est parfait! Les gens sont à notre écoute, répondent à nos questions & orientent nos choix selon nos goûts & nos restrictions. Dans l'ensemble & pour une première fois, je suis satisfait & apprécie la bouffe arménienne. Il serait important lors du choix des plats d'annoncer la quantité & le piquant utilisé.

Alep continues to be one of Montreal's most popular restaurants, & it's easy to see why. The service was excellent throughout our visit-friendly, attentive, & welcoming from start to finish. I would highly recommend making a reservation, as the restaurant is always busy & fills up quickly.

The restaurant itself is beautiful, although it can get quite loud when it's full. The menu offers a huge variety of options, but first-time visitors may find the layout a little confusing to navigate.

We started with the hummus, which was absolutely incredible. It was wonderfully creamy with a rich olive-forward flavour & a depth that made it hard to stop eating. We also tried the moutabal, which was smooth, creamy, & tangy with an almost yogurt-like texture that was very enjoyable.
My husband ordered the Chiche Taouk, while I chose the Chiche Kebab with filet mignon. Both dishes were packed with flavour & the quality of the meat was excellent. The only challenge was that they were a little awkward to eat as served-too messy for hands, yet difficult to tackle neatly with a fork & knife. That said, I would absolutely order either dish again; I'd just assemble & eat it a little differently next time.

For dessert, we shared the Knafé Bel Coco. The crispy fried vermicelli topping was easily the highlight & absolutely delicious. The coconut base was tasty as well, although the texture varied somewhat throughout the dessert, with some areas being thicker than others. The fruit topping wasn't quite to my personal taste, but I would happily order this dessert again & simply skip the fruit.
Overall, Alep offers fantastic food, warm service, & a lively atmosphere. Between the outstanding hummus, flavourful mains, & unique desserts, it's a restaurant well worth visiting.

Fantastic restaurant with a fantastic staff & beyond fantastic food ❤?❤? We made reservations & were seated quickly & started off with a lot of pita & Fattooche salad which were amazingly great ❤?❤? We also had Moussaka, Sabanegh, Chicken Tarator, Chicken Taouck, & Chicken Rice & each bite was beyond a gourmet's delight 😇😇 Full compliments to the chef as we ordered the Chicken Tarator & the Chicken rice again ❤?❤?

Cannot wait to come back & try other items on the menu of this incredible 11/10 venue with family & friends 😇😇 Just make sure you make reservations as it is incredibly popular🙏🙏

Drôle d'expérience. Nous avons aimé les plats que nous avons goûtés, mais nous ne pourrions dire si les desserts sont bons. En fait, après nous avoir apporté la carte des desserts, avoir pris notre commande, la serveuse est revenue pour nous dire que nous n'aurions que dix minutes pour manger le dessert & boire notre latté, car il y avait une autre réservation pour notre table. L'idée étant de déguster un repas, pas de l'engloutir rapidement, nous avons laissé tomber dessert & café. Nous ne saurons jamais si les baklavas en valent la peine, car nous n'y retournerons pas, ça c'est une certitude.

I wanted to try this restaurant for a while but I was shocked by the portion size… the food it self was good but not mind blowing, but for the price the portions should be bigger. The starter was served with cold pitas… pretty disappointing. The dessert « crêpes » were ONE fried ricotta filled empanada, which was not what we expected. Drinks were really good!
