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!

I was visiting from out of town on Saturday & I stumbled upon this restaurant & boy am I glad that I did. Dom truly was one of the best servers we've ever had. Everything she recommended was delicious (lamb chops, tuna crudo , & drinks). The service was amazing. Food & drinks came out fast. Dom made some light hearted conversation every time she came to check on us. I'll make sure to come back when I visit Montreal again!

Food was a nice modern take on Lebanese cuisine. Inventive & tastes really good. The Shawerma Benedict & Baklava Pancakes were very well done. However, the matcha latte was pretty weak, too milk heavy despite the price tag. Our server, Dom, was really friendly & attentive.

Place looks great, staff is friendly. They were pushing us to get the group menu at $95 a head instead of letting us order our own meals. We ended up being able to order ourselves. The lamb chops were 2 cm thick & incinerated, literally charcoal. Portions were very small, food overpriced. Very mediocre taste as well. $120 for one person. Wouldn't revisit, many better options.
