The friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere make it a perfect place to enjoy quality food with family and friends.

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.

I celebrated my birthday with friends at Bayrut- what a lovely evening we all had. The atmosphere of this restaurant is so intimate and cozy, you feel right at home. The service is excellent- everyone checking in, making sure you are taken care of. At one point during our appetizers we noticed that the staff was placing freshly prepared rice pudding into the fridge and asked about how it was prepared. They immediately brought some to our table to try! We all shared the fattoush, Kibbeh, Bayrut humus, moussaka, bayrut chicken toast, chicken freekeh, and lahmeh ras asfour. All unique blends of flavour, we were blown away. The chef then surprised us with a birthday treat- his own unique ice cream creation. He even came over and shared his story with us. This is one of the few places I have been that truly felt authentic, where sharing food with others and creating a community are the intention. Thank you so much for this amazing experience!

Excellent food and service. Authentic food. The owner was there, making sure everything was as it should be... and that makes a difference. Location: For South Shorians, there's no downtown traffic to deal work. Must try!

If there were a seven-star option, I’d give it without hesitation. From the warm welcome to the genuine care of the staff and owners, the experience stands out in Montreal. The food is exceptional, succulent, beautifully presented, and rooted in authentic Mount Lebanon recipes passed down through generations. Thank you, Bayrut, for bringing such a refined Lebanese experience to the city ❤️

Wow. Bayrut on William Street completely impressed me. The flavours are bold, fresh, and genuinely authentic — the kind of food that makes you pause because the taste hits you in the best way. Every dish felt thoughtful and beautifully made. If you love Lebanese food, or just great food done with care, Bayrut is absolutely worth it. I left already planning my next visit.

Thank you so much for this—it genuinely means a lot to us. At Bayrut, we put a lot of care into every detail, from the ingredients we source to how each dish is prepared, so hearing that the flavours made you pause (in a good way 😊) is exactly what we hope for. We can’t wait to welcome you back for your next visit—and we’ll make sure it’s just as memorable. The BÁYRŪT Team

The BEST Lebanese food in Canada. I have never tried such variety of authentic Lebanese food anywhere else in Canada. Of course there are many good Lebanese fast food chains that are great but Bayrut is such a unique place to actually finally introduce real Lebanese authentic cuisine in Montreal!! BRAVO - please come to Vancouver :-)

I never leave reviews, but if this helps even one person avoid the kind of disappointment I experienced at Bayrut, it’ll feel worth the time and money I lost. To start, the portion sizes are laughably small. If you have even a modest appetite, this isn’t the place for you. More importantly, the food itself was extremely underwhelming. It tasted debatably worse than what you’d get from a basic takeout spot, which makes the pricing incredibly hard to justify. You’re honestly better off saving your money and going somewhere like Amir if the taste of the food is what you’re after. I ordered the “chef’s choice” chicken and rice, and it was easily the most disappointing meal I’ve ever had. It came with a tiny portion of plain white rice, dry and under-seasoned chicken, and boiled, mushy potatoes—all for a jawdropping $40. I actually laughed when I took my first bite because I couldn’t believe this was being presented as a featured dish at that price point. The appetizers were all the same. The Kibbeh were dry and crumbly, the cheese stuffed phyllo was offensively salty (coming from someone who adores salty food, this was inedible) and the stuffed vine leaves were simply “meh”. If you’ve ever had the canned ones from Costco, they taste the exact same…. Even if the meal had been FREE, I’d still feel the same way. I don’t mind paying for quality, but this felt like a complete mismatch between cost and value. The one bright spot was our waitress. she was genuinely kind and attentive, and I appreciated her service.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the service — we’ll be sure to pass your kind words along. That said, we do want to clarify a few points. The owner was personally present on the floor this evening and does not recall any concerns being raised regarding the quality of the food. The only comment mentioned at the time was about the quantity of chicken in the main dish, which is a standard portion of 200g+ and designed as a one-person serving. At BÁYRŪT, our approach to Lebanese cuisine is intentionally different from what is typically found in Montreal. Our menu is built around traditional, home-style recipes prepared using lighter techniques — no frying, but rather slow cooking, roasting, and careful baking to highlight natural flavors. Regarding the stuffed vine leaves, while we understand the comparison, they are fundamentally different. While we all enjoy Greek dolmas, they are not comparable to authentic Lebanese stuffed vine leaves that are prepared fresh and hand-rolled in-house, one by one, using our own recipes and ingredients. We understand that this style may not align with everyone’s expectations, especially when compared to more fast-casual options, but it is a direction we believe in and stand behind. We do appreciate you giving us a try and sharing your perspective. Warm regards, The BÁYRŪT Team

The service was good, but the food really wasn’t worth the price. The quality didn’t match what we paid, and overall it just wasn’t very good. There are definitely other Lebanese restaurants that do it much better for the same price.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you appreciated the service, though we’re surprised to hear your comments about the food and value. At BÁYRŪT, what we offer is intentionally different from any other Lebanese restaurant in Montreal. Our menu is built around traditional home-style recipes prepared using techniques that are not typical in the market — no frying, no use of seed oils, slow cooking, and very careful baking — with a focus on lighter, more refined flavors. We also import over 70% of our ingredients directly from Lebanon, including the olive oil we use, and specialty products from small producers from around Lebanon, which is a key part of delivering an authentic experience. Because of this approach, our offering may not align with everyone’s expectations of Authentic Lebanese cuisine, especially if one is used to a different style. That said, we stand behind the quality, sourcing, and authenticity of what we serve. We appreciate you giving us a try. The BÁYRŪT Team

Great Lebanese restaurant. I really enjoyed the experience. The fattoush, wara2 enab, loubiyeh bi zeit w joz, batata hara, and m3ajanet were all delicious and full of flavor. I especially appreciated that everything is not fried and is prepared with olive oil, which makes the dishes feel lighter and more authentic. The ambiance is clean, comfortable, and inviting. The highlight, though, is the fresh, hot bread they serve. Andrew was really helpful and friendly .

We had an incredible time at Bayrut. Can you tell from the minute you walk in that the staff here really cares about their food and their guests’ experience. We ordered the Fattoush salad, pumpkin kibbeh, and eggplant dip. Everything was 10/10. Vatche was a delight. He mentioned that all the food was baked (not fried), light, and fresh. He was 100% right.

We were in Montreal for a vacation and sought recommendations. A Montreal native we know suggested this place and it was one of the best meals we ate in the City. The restaurant is small and comfortable and worth a visit. Excellence all around.
