Leila Restaurant in Montreal St laurent is a hidden gem that delivers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warmth, making you feel right at home.
The salad is a simple yet standout dish-fresh, crisp greens, perfectly ripe tomatoes, & a light dressing that brings everything together beautifully. It's refreshing & full of flavor, proving that the best ingredients don't need to be complicated to be amazing.
Then come the sardines, & they are next level. Grilled to perfection with a light crisp on the outside & tender, juicy inside, they're seasoned just enough to enhance the natural flavors without overpowering them. Every bite is packed with bold, rich taste-a perfect balance of tradition & expert execution.
But Leila isn't just about one or two great dishes. From comforting, slow-cooked tagines to perfectly grilled meats & flavorful sides, every plate is made with passion & care.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere at Leila Restaurant in Montreal makes dining here special. The staff is welcoming & attentive, making you feel like more than just a customer. A BIG PLUS IS CHEF AMINE - JUST ANOTHER COOK - LOOK HIM UP
If you love food that's made with heart, flavor, & tradition, Leila Restaurant is a must-visit in Montreal. Once you try it, you'll already be thinking about your next visit.

A must try restaurant! The staff are incredible & we ordered based off their recommendations, every dish was delicious! We had the sardine on toast, merguez, bitter lettuce salad, the lamb belly pasta & the fish dish. The flavours of each dish were amazing & you can tell they were prepared with great thought & care! So glad we found this place & will definitely be back!View more
Ma copine & moi avons passé une excellente soirée dans ce restaurant. L'ambiance était agréable, le staff nous as bien conseillé & nous as offert un service hors pair. Nous avons commandé en entrée les merguez & la mousse de volaille qui était servie comme spécial du jour. Comme repas nous avons partagé l'assiette de joues & de pois chiches & les patates marocaines. Nous avons terminé le repas avec un merveilleux dessert à la pistache. Chaque élément de notre repas était délicieux, les portions étaient parfaites & à un très bon rapport qualité prix. Je recommande vivement cet endroit.View more

I was especially pleasantly surprised by the fish dish I had (pictured) The restaurant is a cozy little space, & the staff is excellent. Would definitely go back!View more
Tout était vraiment bon, on peut ressentir la fraîcheur des aliments. Je vous conseille fortement la salade d'andives, la joue braisé pour les amateurs de viande & le gateau à l'orange & l'huile d'olive. Très bon service, la serveuse nous a bien conseillé. L'endroit est chaleureux, la décoration est sympa, la vaisselle est du style vintage ca fait son charme. ✌De base j'avais vraiment envie d'essayer la salade césar avec le poulet pané, mais apparemment ils l'ont enlevé du menu .View more
I had an incredible experience. The service was incredible, Daniel was truly awesome. The food, one plate after another left me very satisfied. The sardines are world class. The speakeasy in back of the restaurant is so cool as well. Will definitely go back multiple times.View more

I absolutely love everything about this restaurant - from the delicious food to the amazing staff & the overall vibe. I even got to meet Chef Amine & his lovely team, which was such a treat! Towards the end of the restaurant, there's a cozy space with couches & beautiful antique decorations that made me feel right at home. I highly recommend this place 100% !!!View more
Très belle découverte! Une très bonne table fidèle à sa promesse. Savoureuse cuisine méditerranéenne, excellent service & bonne ambiance. Tout était fin, délicieux, bien apprêté, sympathique & convivial. Les plats sont à partager, nous avons choisi les moules sur toast, la salade amère, les joues de morue, le bar noir, la cuisson était parfaite & nous avons été bien conseillés pour le vin. On y retournera pour goûter à des plats signature & d'autres nouveautés. Ouvert depuis à peine deux mois, cuisine abordable à essayer absolument.View more
