Bayrut Restaurant — Restaurant in Montreal

Bayrut, a new gem in Montreal's vibrant dining scene, offers an unforgettable experience that transports you straight to Lebanon. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warm hospitality by Joya, whose attentive service set the tone for our meal. Her recommendations were spot on, guiding us through an authentic Lebanese culinary journey.

The meal began with the freshly baked pita bread, a highlight that paired perfectly with the rich flavors of the olives imported directly from Lebanon. Each bite of the bread was soft and warm, enhancing the experience as we dipped it into various spreads. The true star, however, was the secret homemade butter. Its creamy, subtle flavor was a delightful surprise, making every dish even more enjoyable.

We couldn’t resist trying the kibbeh nayyeh, a traditional Lebanese dish that was impeccably prepared. The freshness of the ingredients shone through, with a perfect balance of spices that brought the dish to life. It was evident that great care and skill went into creating this masterpiece, making it a must-try for anyone seeking authentic Lebanese flavors.

Throughout our meal, Joya’s service was exemplary. She was knowledgeable about the menu and passionate about the dishes, which added a personal touch to our dining experience. Her attention to detail and genuine enthusiasm enhanced our enjoyment and made us feel valued as guests.

Overall, Bayrut is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Lebanese cuisine in Montreal. With its inviting atmosphere, exceptional service, and delicious offerings, it promises a memorable dining experience. We left with full bellies and happy hearts, eager to return and explore more of their menu. Highly...

Bonjour. Hi. Wow. I am still digesting my incredible experience at Bayrut. If you are searching for a scrumptious gastronomical adventure then stop. You found it. This is where you need to be.

The number one menu item at this charming Lebanese outpost in the heart of Montréal is authenticity. And the authenticity does not stop at the kitchen. It defines the people who work there too. Mohannad, Chef Fouad, Georgette and Jan elevated my visit from a casual meal to an indelible experience. I felt like I was visiting old friends, not an unknown restaurant for the first time.

Then there was Joya. Even though she was extremely busy, running up, down, left and right, being hard at work, she was still able to serve a side dish of laughter and levity, a perfect compliment to my meal. This combination of humour and professionalism defines every person I met at Bayrut. They all deserve a raise.

And last, but most certainly not least, there is the incredible Tasha, who gracefully attended to the table. It was a crowded night but this did not stop her checking in regularly. Nothing took "too long". I appreciate her deep knowledge of the menu and the dishes, which guided my selections, from the Lahmeh Ras Asfour (the pomegranate molasses is a party for the palette) to the Chef’s Daily Selection (lamb and stuffed grape leaves).

My only regret was being unable to eat more and there are several menu items I look forward to returning to. My parting piece of advice is to first timers is to save space for desert. To Bayrut:...
