Absolutely amazing brunch experience at Bayrut Restaurant. Authentic Lebanese food at another level — every dish was full of flavor, freshness, and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the quality and attention put into every detail. A special thank you to Mamy, our waitress, and Gioia for the excellent service. They made us feel welcomed from the moment we arrived. The restaurant was spotless, elegant, and the cleanliness really added to the overall experience. If you are looking for real Lebanese cuisine with incredible taste and outstanding hospitality, this place is a must. Highly recommended!

This Lebanese restaurant stands apart from the usual shawarma-and-street-food experience. The dishes feel deeply authentic, like the kind of food a grandmother would lovingly prepare at home rather than something made for fast service. Every plate carries warmth, tradition, and rich homemade flavors that are hard to find nowadays. From the slow-cooked dishes to the delicate seasoning, the cuisine feels comforting, genuine, and rooted in family heritage. A beautiful reminder that Lebanese food is far more than street food — it’s soulful home cooking❤️ and let’s not forget the nice staff and the great service they provide! I tried it at lunch time and today had the brunch menu👌

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and beautiful review. This truly captures the heart of what we try to share at BÁYRŪT every day. For us, Lebanese cuisine has always been about family, tradition, slow cooking, and the kind of comforting meals that bring people together around a table — not simply street food. Knowing that this feeling came through in your experience honestly means the world to us. Thank you again for your support, and we look forward to welcoming you back very soon ❤️ The BÁYRŪT Team

Disappointing experience. We asked the staff about buying the mulberry drink and at first they said it wasn’t available but then offered to sell it to us for 75$. Then again they dropped the price to 40$, which still felt overpriced and made the whole situation seem very questionable. The same thing happened when a friend asked about the pomegranate molasses. They started with a ridiculous price then lowered it significantly. On top of that, the food prices were already high for the overall experience. Overall, this place is expensive and the pricing practices left a really bad impression.

Thank you for your feedback. We regret the confusion, as this does not reflect the level of clarity we aim to provide at BÁYRŪT. To clarify, the rare wild mulberry syrup and traditional pomegranate molasses you inquired about are not standard retail items, but exceptionally limited artisanal ingredients produced by hardworking women in the village of Abadieh, in Mount Lebanon, through a women’s empowerment initiative supported by Canadian-funded development programs. Traditionally crafted from slowly reduced fresh fruits using generations-old methods, these products are privately imported in very limited quantities exclusively for our in-house use. Each bottle is personally linked to one of the women behind its production, making it something deeply meaningful and truly priceless to us. It carries a story, a livelihood, and generations of tradition! For more context, authentic pomegranate molasses requires approximately 24–36 kg of fresh fruit to produce a single 750 mL bottle—equivalent to roughly $150 CAD in fruit alone, before production, labour, packaging, transportation and import fees. Unlike many mass-produced supermarket versions (often sold for only a few dollars per bottle and made using concentrates, added sugars, or industrial processing). We also understand that our pricing may not align with every guest’s expectations. At BÁYRŪT, most of our ingredients are imported directly from Lebanon in limited quantities and prepared using slow, traditional methods rather than industrial shortcuts. Our goal has always been to offer an authentic and artisanal experience that is difficult to replicate. We nevertheless hope you enjoy the wild mulberry syrup you took home — it is a truly exceptional artisanal product that costs us significantly more to bring to Montreal than what you ultimately paid for it.

We visited as the Lebanese Association at the University of Montreal, and we had an amazing experience. The food was truly delicious, but honestly, the service was even more impressive. A special thank you to the owner for such a warm and memorable experience. In our opinion, this is some of the most authentic Lebanese food you can find in Montreal. Thank you again, and we look forward to coming back very soon!

Thank you so much for your beautiful words and for choosing BÁYRŪT for your gathering. It was truly an honour to welcome the Lebanese Association at the University of Montreal, and we are delighted to hear that both the food and the service left such a positive impression. As a restaurant deeply rooted in Lebanese traditions, hearing that you consider our cuisine among the most authentic Lebanese food in Montreal genuinely means a great deal to us. Your kind words about the hospitality and overall experience will stay with our entire team. We cannot wait to welcome you all back again soon — your table will always feel like home at BÁYRŪT 🇱🇧 The BÁYRŪT Team

We had a wonderful experience at Bayrut. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and what made the experience even more special was learning about the restaurant’s history, which is truly interesting. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering that the products are imported directly from Lebanon. We came as a group of 30 people, and everyone left happy. A special thank you to the waiters for creating such a warm, familial brunch atmosphere and making us all feel at home. The cocktail selection was also excellent. We will definitely be coming back as a group to try even more from the menu. Highly recommended!

Had such a great experience at Restaurant Beirut. Farah provided excellent service and was very kind and attentive throughout our visit. The drinks were amazing, the fattoush salad was one of the best I’ve ever had, and the lahmacun/laham dish was incredibly tasty with a very generous portion. The recipe tasted homemade and authentic, which made the food even more enjoyable. The owner was also very friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience feel warm and inviting. Highly recommend this place for delicious food and great hospitality.

Absolutely loved our experience at Bayrut. The atmosphere is elegant, warm, and beautifully designed — perfect for a cozy dinner with friends or family. Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, from the creamy hummus and vibrant tabbouleh to the perfectly cooked octopus and delicious desserts. The attention to detail in both taste and presentation truly stood out. A special thank you to Andrew for the exceptional hospitality and attentive service throughout the evening. He made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. And compliments to Chef Pierre — the food was outstanding, authentic, and crafted with real passion. You can feel the quality in every dish. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for refined Lebanese cuisine, a stylish ambiance, and excellent service in Montreal. We will definitely be coming back! ✨

We ordered the tasting menu for 2 people. The food itself was fine and the portion was huge. The food didn’t quite fit our taste buds as we found every dish to be very acidic and sour. That’s not the reason for the negative review though. From start to finish, the service at our table was noticeably different from the two tables right beside us. We watched water and pita bread get refilled automatically at neighboring tables without them having to ask. We had to ask multiple times and were largely ignored. When we finally flagged someone down, our requests either weren’t followed through on or arrived very late. Both servers seemed visibly tense and on edge the entire evening. At one point I had to ask for toilet paper in the washroom. Instead of simply bringing it, one of the servers went into the kitchen visibly upset, gesturing and pointing out the kitchen door while complaining to a colleague. When I noticed this through the see through kitchen door, the male server caught my eye and his expression made it clear he knew the behavior was inappropriate. I ended up having to ask a different server entirely. To top it off, both tables near us received complimentary items at the end of their meals. We received nothing — and instead found a glass of wine on our bill that we never ordered. The explanation was that the tables were close together and it was a mix-up. The wine was removed, but there was no real apology, no acknowledgment of the overall experience, and no effort to make things right. I can’t say for certain why our table was treated so differently. But the contrast was consistent and impossible to miss. We felt like an afterthought all evening, and that’s not something I’d wish on anyone visiting a restaurant.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that you left feeling this way, as this is never the experience we aim to provide at BÁYRŪT. On the evening of your visit, we were completely fully booked and, despite not having an immediate table available, we were happy to accommodate your walk-in party at the bar while preparing a table for you as quickly as possible. During your wait, we also offered complimentary welcome trio and offered drinks as part of our Lebanese hospitality and appreciation for your patience. We are pleased to hear that you found the tasting menu generous in portion and satisfactory overall, although we certainly understand that some traditional authentic Lebanese flavours can be more vibrant or acidic than some guests may be accustomed to. Most (75%+) of our ingredients — including our pomegranate molasses, which is traditionally handmade in Lebanon without added sugars — are intentionally prepared in their most authentic form, reflecting the natural balance of flavours found in Authentic Lebanese cuisine. That said, we take your comments regarding service seriously. While there was absolutely no intention to treat your table differently, we sincerely regret if certain requests felt delayed during an exceptionally busy service. Regarding the wine charge, this was an honest mix-up between nearby tables that was corrected immediately once brought to our attention. As for the complimentary items provided to neighboring tables, these are sometimes offered for a variety of reasons, including celebrations, tastings, or to long-time returning guests, and are never intended to reflect the value we place on any guest over another. We truly strive to make every guest feel welcomed and cared for, regardless of how busy an evening may be. Your feedback has been shared internally with our team, and we appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention. The BÁYRŪT Team

One of the main reasons I love going to BAYRUT is actually how I feel after I leave. The food is authentic, fresh, natural, and beautifully prepared, so you still get that high-end dining experience without feeling overly heavy afterward like at a lot of other restaurants. The atmosphere is also perfect for a first date or couples night out, but equally amazing for family gatherings because Lebanese food is meant to be shared. My favorite spots in Montreal.
