We had the best vegan breakfast Syrian style, original & authentic
We loved the falafel, ingredients were delicious & fried just perfect, best in Montreal
This was my first Syrian brunch, & it happened on one of those quiet girls' days that stay with you. Just me, my aunt, & my cousin, nowhere to rush off to, choosing a table & choosing each other.
We went to Leymoun, tucked along Rue Dudemaine. Walking in felt less like entering a restaurant & more like being welcomed into someone's home. No waiting, no hovering, no pressure to order fast. Just space to settle in, sip slowly, & talk as long as we wanted.
Brunch started the way it should. With tea.
A big pot of black tea, steeped in-house & ready by the time brunch rolls around. Bold, fragrant, grounding. The kind of tea that invites you to pour another cup without thinking.
What we shared felt designed for lingering.
Petit Déjeuner Platter
A generous spread of Syrian breakfast staples meant to be passed around. Creamy dips, salty cheeses, crunchy vegetables, warm falafel, juicy green olives, & a homemade fig jam that honestly tasted like sunshine. Pomegranate seeds scattered across the plate added little bursts of brightness that kept pulling me back in.
Fatté Hummus au Shawarma
This was the favorite at the table. Creamy hummus layered with yogurt & tahini, topped with tender chicken shawarma, grilled almonds, & crispy pita chips. Rich, tangy, crunchy, spiced. Every bite felt complete.
Shakshuka
Comfort in its simplest form. Soft feta-topped eggs, sautéed onions, tomatoes, & peppers. Nothing fussy. Just satisfying & warm.
Fried Halloumi with Leymoun Sauce
The surprise star. Salty, golden halloumi paired with their signature za'atar, honey, & sesame sauce. Sweet, salty, herby, a little sticky, & very addictive.
Everything tasted thoughtful. Like it was made with the intention of being shared. Plates kept moving, conversations kept unfolding, & time quietly stretched.
This is the kind of brunch that doesn't rush you out the door. It turns into an afternoon without asking.
Foxy Tip: Come with people you love, order for the table, & don't watch the clock. Leymoun is about slowing down & savoring more than just the food. The stories matter too.
I share local gems & cultural eats over on ig @foxyappetite & TikTok @foxy.appetite, & this one truly earned its place.

The breakfast was fresh & tasty, & the staff were friendly. The tables were small, so fitting everything was a bit tricky. The restaurant was also small, & people often bumped into neighboring tables when sitting down or getting up.
I was there initially with my GF, & went back with friends & both time the service was amazing, the food tasted as amazing as it did the first time! I would strongly suggest to try out their breakfast platter. If you can, it's a lot of food but I promise it's delicious! Try their fatté hummmus & fried halloumi!
Really nice brunch spot, staff was super friendly & welcoming. I personally wasn't crazy about the foul dish, but really loved the fattet & the breakfast platter. I would definitely come back
I came with my wife for breakfast & we got the high quality we expected from a Syrian kitchen. The Falafel & Fateh Hummus were very delicious. We are certainly coming back again!
Had a nice Syrian breakfast at Leymoun! We tried most of their options such as foul, fatté, eggs & fried halloumi. Everything was delicious. Unlike other Syrian brunch that usually only serve tea, they also served coffee & lemonade. Their lemonade is really good & refreshing! The service was amazing, very nice owner. The restaurant was a bit hot though, they should add an A/C or more fans.
Fantastic food & warm service. Easily one of the best Syrian/Lebanese breakfasts I've had in Montreal. Everything was incredibly fresh & full of flavour.

We went to Leymoun restaurant for breakfast. The service was very slow, we waited almost an hour to receive our order. The food is overpriced relative to its quality. I do not recommend it.
Answer on the owner's comment:
Oh, so this is why your restaurant has 5 stars, because you report all the negative comments instead of thanking reviewers for their feedback & using it to improve your service. We visited your restaurant last week & have pictures of the food we ordered. I'm ready to post them if necessary. I shared my honest opinion, & you should learn to accept constructive criticism.
