Sumac earns praise for bold Middle Eastern flavors, fresh ingredients and generous portions, with falafel, muhammara, shawarma and the house pita often described as standout items and many reviewers calling the pitas some of the best in town. The menu includes strong vegetarian and vegan options and both dine in and takeout experiences are described as reliable and quick, with friendly service. The ordering flow at the counter and occasional extra charges for add ons can feel cumbersome and some dishes are described as oily or dry or pricey for smaller portions, but portions are usually large and the overall quality is strong. The ambience is warm and convivial, staff are noted as friendly and attentive, and the restaurant is seen as an authentic option that delivers consistent quality and memorable sides, making it a solid choice for a satisfying meal with friends or family, even if some visits lean toward the higher end of cost.
This is my go to place for pita sandwich. I always get the shishtaouk or the sabich. Sometimes I feel like not eating so much meat. For bigger portions, when you have the time, I like to get the big plate with two side dishes or salads. Any of them are good honestly. Ingredients are fresh, & the quality is consistant. It never disappointed me.
Delish Lebanese classics. Fresh & tasty. Really cute decor, simple layout & simple menu. A wonderful dining experience. A great place to go & catch up with friends, share some dishes family style.

I've tried everything on the menu & love it all. The cooked salad is definitely a must try. &, the labneh is a hidden gem. Update: not to be missed are the labneh (with a generous pile of dukkah & garlic), & the harira soup.

I love the food here. It's CONSISTENTLY on point. It's a relaxed vibe, & it can fill up fast but it's worth it! I recommend getting the: -labneh -kefta -falafel *the hot sauce is soo good, don't pass on it. Plus they have a North East IPA on tap. Enjoy!
Great location, great food. We went for a quick lunch. 2nd time visiting & will be back. The food is amazing, & the location is perfect with ample sitting. A must in Montréal!
If you're looking for generous portions of unbelievably delicious food, Sumac is the right place. The staff exudes warmth & expertise, & the consistent high-caliber of the food sets a standard few can match. Everything is delicious, but for a real treat, try the salade cuite with the grilled pita- it's a mouthwatering dish that's utterly addictive.

Incredible Shawarma Pita. Everything checks out the boxes. Tender chicken/ puffy & soft pita bread & perfect balance of sauces/ vegetables. Paired with Harira Fries & you're more than full. On the pricier side but it's definitely better than any other place.
Fast casual done impeccably well. Truly blurs the lines between a sit down restaurant & quick service. Could be the best, creamiest, well seasoned hummus, fluffy fresh pita, vibrant salads, & friendly service. A++
