Le Petit Alep Bistro est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable pour la cuisine syrienne à Montréal, souvent salué pour ses saveurs exceptionnelles, son atmosphère authentique et son personnel accueillant. De nombreux convives soulignent la qualité du menu dégustation, l'excellence du houmous et la finesse des grillades, le tout offrant un excellent rapport qualité-prix. Bien que la majorité des clients rapportent un service impeccable et un cadre chaleureux et dynamique, certains visiteurs ont noté des incohérences, allant de problèmes occasionnels de température ou de fraîcheur des plats à des opinions divergentes sur le niveau d'acidité de certaines préparations. Bien que l'établissement soit très populaire et souvent achalandé, il est fortement conseillé de réserver pour profiter de cette adresse renommée.
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.
If you crave syrian food with a bistro kind of vibe this is the place!
The restaurant has a wide choice of vegetarian options & meat ones so you can bring all your friends with you!
I suggest you to follow the waiter recommandations if it is the first time there!
I had tabboule, hummus, labne, mouttabal, falafel & a lamb plate!
The prices are affordable compared to the montreal average restaurant prices.
I definitely go back & recommend people to go there!
I'm Syrian so I'll be a bit picky in my review. Overall the place is excellent, especially for the price point (really good value). The hummus, moujadara, & Kabbab Kach-Kach were great. The muhamara was not good. The Sea Bass fish with arak was below expectations. The vine leaves were fantastic. The atmosphere & service were great. The place is authentic & fun & I would totally come again.

Perfect oasis after a stroll through the Jean Talon farmers market. Noshed on special recipe hummus, mujadara, tabouli, pitas, grilled shrimp & spicy fries. Brought back to life.
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!
Amazing flavors meet great service at a good price point.
We really enjoyed everything here. Alex asked if we wanted him to just bring us food until we told him to stop, which was a great idea. The shish filet, the hummus, the sauces, it's all terrific. The salad dressing is the right blend of vinegar & mint. They add cumin in the proportion to knock your tongue backward.
Ma copine & moi sommes allés hier soir essayer le menu de dégustation (3 services) & avons été sincèrement déçus. Les deux premiers services n'étaient que des entrées (taboulé, hummus, laitue, feuilles de vignes, pita, petites saucisses de boeuf). Tous les plats étaient trop acidulés & ne représentent pas un bon rapport qualité-quantité-prix. Quel serveur peut recommander ses clients de commencer par 35$/personne d'entrées? Notre serveur, bien que sympatique, aurait dû nous indiquer que les deux premiers services étaient des entrées, & que le menu dégustation était simplement des items au menu (I.e. feuilles de laitue à 4$).
Ensuite, nous avons pris la brochette de filet mignon marinée, épicée. Il ne s'agissait pas de cubes de filet mignon, mais des petites lanières (voir photo). Le goût était une fois encore trop acidulé. Pour 21$/brochette, c'est passable.
En résumé, je déconseille Le Petit Alep. Si vous y allez, évitez à tout prix le menu de dégustation .
Authentic & delicious Syrian-Lebanese food! The hummus was creamy, the grilled meats were perfectly seasoned, & the service was warm & welcoming. Highly recommend for a taste of the Levant!
Ótima experiência no Petit Alep. Pedimos só petiscos, mas todos foram aprovados. Gostei muito do kibe cru e do hummus. Bom custo-benefício, dada a alta qualidade. Recomendado!
We had the fixed lunch here - the food was great & the service was even better - thank you for letting me practice my French..! The cold fennel soup was also delicious.. & we enjoyed their hummus as well. Highly recommended - probably our favorite meal in Montreal yet!
