About

If you’re fortunate enough to have experienced a meal in the Middle East, you know all about their warmth, ambiance and extravagance. Whether it’s on a terrace accompanied by an afternoon tea, or sipping Arak in the evening, the “joie de vivre” can’t be missed.

Having successfully recreated the magic, our chef Joe Awad and his team have put together a menu featuring traditional flavours reimagined with a modern flare.

Our friendly and attentive staff will make you feel as though you’ve walked through the fabric of time to the other side of the world. Prepare your tastebuds, they’re in for an amazing experience!

Excellent choix pour me menu du brunch & différent. Belle ambiance. Retour assuré pour le brunch & l'essai du souper éventuel. Seul bémol; le pain doré était sec pas assez trempé dans le mélange oeufs lait sinon très enchantée

Food was excellent, service was mediocre. We had a new waiter & was not familiar with the menu. Our wine bottle was put in a awkward spot & no one filled our glasses.

Food was absolutely delicious & reasonably priced (although that's relative) but great value for the money.
Ambiance is perfect, cool decor, fun music ( not too loud so you don't have to shout at the people across the table).
Service the first time we were there was excellent, second time the waiter was new ( it was only his second shift) so a bit lacking but he was so sweet & let us know that right away.
This is our new go-to in Montreal!!
Ps ( the Bao gels gel is to die for!!)
