Leymoun Restaurant is described as a warm, homey spot where the Syrian Lebanese breakfast shines through generous portions, fresh ingredients, and thoughtful presentation. The brunch menu features a standout fatteh, foul, hummus bowls, falafel, shakshuka, and fried halloumi with signature honey and za'atar. The big pot of black tea and refreshing lemonade are popular accompaniments. The atmosphere is consistently praised as unhurried and welcoming, with attentive staff and owners who explain the menu and make guests feel at home, turning meals into lingering, shareable experiences. Dishes are noted to be designed for sharing, with generous, well balanced flavors that feel authentic and comforting. Some reviews mention busy weekend crowds or price value concerns, but overall consistency, freshness, and service quality are emphasized. The place is often recommended for family or friends to discover a genuine Middle Eastern breakfast, with a cozy, intimate vibe and dishes like halloumi and fatteh standing out.
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.
This meal was comped as part of a media preview. Sharing my honest thoughts above.
I haven't seen any disorganized & mismanaged place as this restaurant in Montreal or Laval so far. The place is left to be ran by three employees on the busiest day of the season (Eid & Mother's Day). Three people to usher, serve, wait, clean etc.
We called to ask if we can be seated right away if we arrived in the coming 15 minutes, & we were assured we will be. Only to be surprised upon our arrival that we were lied to.
We waited 30 minutes at the corner of the restaurant with our grandma who is 80 years old standing on her feet while we watched other people being seated (people who arrived after us).
When we confronted one of the employees instead of showing empathy & finding a solution we were met with an attitude.
The logical solution that one of the employees found was to ask one of the tables that were still actively eating to wrap up & leave.
They ruined our Mother's Day brunch with our family. All of this could have been avoided if the employee was honest from the moment we spoke over the phone & set realistic expectations.
They are dishonest & unorganized & this is going to be problematic for their business.

We went there at Brunch hour on a sunday for the first time...the brunch platter was super nice, tasty colorful & plenty of food. Service was precise. We will make an habit !
We went there on the weekend. It was a little crowded.. But the brunch was perfect. I can say it's the best Lebanese brunch I've ever had in Montreal. Also, the service was good & fast. I highly recommend this place for brunch.
Franchement, l'expérience était incroyable
L'énergie & l'atmosphère du lieu étaient vraiment magnifiques, on s'y sent tout de suite bien, avec une vraie sensation de calme & de sérénité.
La nourriture était délicieuse, tout était très frais & plein de saveurs.
C'était la première fois que je goûtais à un petit déjeuner syrien-libanais, & honnêtement, c'était une superbe découverte ✨
J'y retournerai sans hésiter & je recommande cet endroit à 100 % pour un brunch original, authentique & chaleureux.
Super restaurant pour un délicieux brunch. La nourriture est excellente & le service aussi. Merci pour l'accueil! Je recommande très fortement cette place! Nous y retournerons avec plaisir.

Wow wow wow! Out of this world. I thought I was at Teta's house. We enjoyed our brunch so much, it was absolutely worth the trip outside the downtown core. The Plateau Platter has everything you need, & the fatte was delicious & filling.
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

We went there for a family brunch with cousins who have recently immigrated from Lebanon & they also found the food delicious & the atmosphere lovely. It was super clean & the service was quick & friendly.
Great service & amazing food.
I absolutely recommend this restaurant if your looking to discover real authentic mediterranean food or if your looking for a cool place to eat brunch with some friends.
What a lovely brunch at Leymoun; all the dishes we ordered were fresh, delicious, & served in very large amounts. Together with the tea, beautiful music in the background, & the lovely team sharing the story of the food, we had such a great time, & are looking forward to returning soon.
Amateurs de brunch, nous voulions tester ce petit restaurant.
La décoration est mignonne & le personnel est agréable.
Toutefois, nous avons été fortement déçu.
Non pas de la nourriture, qui était bonne, mais du mauvais rapport qualité-prix !
Une facture plutôt dispendieuse pour ce que nous avons mangé... Il n'y a pas vraiment de brunch proposé, vous devez composé tout vous-même, ce qui fait une facture élevée pour un brunch à base d'oeufs principalement si vous ne prenez pas la formule déjeuner. Le pain est un pain pita classique que vous achetez à l'épicerie. Aucune plus value que si vous aviez préparé deux oeufs sur le plat à la maison...
Nous avions pris des oeufs'accompagné de ses légumes & olives'. Les légumes étaient en très petite portion pour 2, même chose pour les olives... & nous ne sommes pas de gros mangeurs.
Pour manger une omelette & deux oeufs sur le plat je ne m'attendais pas à payer aussi cher.. surtout situé aussi loin du centre-ville de Montréal!
Vous l'aurez compris, nous avons été deçu au moment du choix de la carte & surtout de la facture! Mais nous avons tout même apprécié notre moment. Merci !

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.
this restaurant is so cozy & the hospitality makes you feel like you're at your aunt's house. very warm service & super friendly owner! the food is to die for, some of the best syrian brunch in town! i was a big fan of their fresh lemonade, foul medames, & falafel which is served on a bed of hummus. highly recommend this spot!
What a gem of a restaurant in the neighbourhood. The owner is welcoming & kindly explains the menu to you if you're not familiar with the cuisine. The place is warm & homey, very simple & unpretentious. The food itself is fresh & flavourful, with options of dishes that can be easily shared. Portions & prices are both very reasonable. This is a good brunch place to come with your family (even with kids)! I particularly enjoyed the fried halloumi with spiced honey & look forward to trying more of their dishes.
