One of the older Persian-style restaurants in Montreal, known for its authentic recipes and distinctive atmosphere. The cuisine is an interesting fusion, traditional Persian flavors presented with a more Western-style plating and presentation. The overall setting and décor also reflect this blend of cultures. The food carries a strong homemade character, with the kind of depth and care you would expect from traditional Persian cooking. The location is also very good and convenient. The only weak point was the customer service, which felt less welcoming and patient than expected! Still, it remains a memorable place for Persian-inspired cuisine in the city.
Reviews / Ratings for Byblos Le Petit Cafe
I love this place as a cafe strictly. The food is, as most people have mentioned in reviews, lackluster. Good chocolate cardamom cake, but I probably wouldn't have supper here again. You really want to stay for the atmosphere, but the service is always terrible. After returning multiple times, it seems the staff begins to ignore you after coming by once, and will not clear your table until you leave...dirty plates with bones were left on our table after we were done eating and were not cleared for 30+ minutes even though we wanted to stay for tea afterwards. Consistently poor service and rude waitstaff, unfortunately.
Iranian specialties at reasonable prices and wonderful breakfasts.
Cute place, Iranian style menu. Great local place to meet, chat, play some chess, read a book, computer work. Friendly service
Last night I went to Byblos and honestly, the Dizzy was far better than anything I normally cook; so good that I’m seriously considering stopping cooking Dizzy at home and just eating there instead. The taste wasn’t just good; it was impeccable. The balance and fragrance of the ingredients were on another level, something I simply can’t recreate at home. Every bite took me straight back to my childhood and my grandmother’s cooking. This is an absolute must-try.
Very good place to discover persian food. The services and staffs are great, especially when you need advices. The place can be quite packed during rush hour so I suggest to come earlier, before 11 AM.
