You can tell the Hurtado family takes great pride in what they do. I have been for both lunch and for dinner numerous times over the years, and every single time it has been a delight in every way. This is a Greek restaurant, but offers a wide variety of amazing entrées from various kinds of seafood, to steak, to chicken, lamb, even escargot... on this last visit I had some mixed seafood ceviche which was awesome. Their salmon or shrimp are absolutely delicious. One of my favorites is the grilled chicken shish kebab (brochette). Of course, their gyro is classic Greek goodness! Everything I have ever tried here has been cooked perfectly, steaks done to order, all served hot and fresh. The salads and deserts are also wonderful! The service I have received is consistently impeccable, professional, and friendly regardless of how busy it is. And believe me, it can get busy as it is a favorite among locals! The staff, all family members, speak French, English, Spanish and Chinese! The ambience is casual. They have outside dining as well as a two level dining room. There are large pictures of scenes from Greece to help set the mood. Can you tell I really love this place!? I do! I so wish we had a restaurant like this in the Texas Rio Grande Valley where I live.

I wasn't sure how our evening at Le Petit Alep would develop. Some reviews said "casual," some said…read more"classy." I think it's a little of both, perhaps depending on where in the restaurant you sit. We were seated in the front on the side, which we appreciated on a very humid evening. Rather than order off the menu, our server created a sampler platter for us which included popular offerings for each course. The food got better and better as we proceeded through the courses, our favorite was the chicken skewers. Food and drink total came right in the range quoted by our server. One unexpected thing was the pita for our second course (which included hummus). It was delivered in a plastic bag. So we were unsure if the logo on the bag was where it was made. We didn't use all of ours, so when we were done with the course, they took it away. What do they do with the unused pita? Is it thrown away? Is the bag refilled and given to the next customer? Did we get a bag from earlier customers? Two other observations: We ordered a 500ml carafe of wine. We were allowed to sample it first, and the sample was chilled. The carafe we were served was significantly less chilled, and the insulation inside the container in which the carafe was delivered was not cool to the touch. The wine was still very good, but it would have been even more enjoyable a few degrees cooler. Also, even though cuisine is billed as Syrian, our server mentioned "Armenian" several times (this is not an issue at all). The only thing we didn't like was the humidity. If that is a concern to you, ask to be seated near one of the ceiling fans.

My brother and I split dinner choices when planning our trip to Montreal; Le Petit Alep was one of…read morehis choices, as he saw it in the Michelin Guide and wanted to check it out. The menu and vibe looked good, so we made dinner plans here our second night in the city. Le Petit Alep is located close to the Petite-Italie section of Montreal. When we arrived we actually went into the wrong restaurant - Le Petit Alep is on the left, and then Restaurant Alep is on the right. We were told that they're owned by the same people and share a kitchen, but are two separate restaurants - oops. Anyway, once we found our way we were seated promptly. The dining room was tastefully decorated, with warm colors that gave it an eclectic feel without being overwhelming. There was also a good amount of space so we weren't on top of each other. The menu is Middle Eastern - specifically Armenian and Syrian. It's broken up into different sections based on type of dish and size, though they also offer a tasting menu. We opted for a la carte, so our server explained how each dish was meant to be shared and gave recommendations based on our party size. We decided to get several dishes - métabal and mouhamara dips, spicy toshka grilled pita, Armenian sausage, and chiche kabab terbialy. We opted for dessert, and went with the cream stuffed atayef. Everything was delicious; I was particularly impressed with how well each dish was seasoned and the tenderness of the meats. It was hard for me to determine what was my favorite, but I would say the sausages and the grilled pita were the best if I had to choose. The atayef had the making to be heavy, but was surprisingly not and proved to be a great finisher. I really only scratched the surface here - the menu is really extensive so I feel you can make several trips and consistently try something new. Service was great, we leaned on our waiter to make some recommendations regarding the amount and combo of dishes to get and he really came through. Overall, I had a great experience at Le Petit Alep - definitely worth checking out.

I noticed a bar area and asked about drinks but was informed it was byob alcoholic beverages... which is very strange to me for a restaurant. I ordered the spiced lamb croquettes for appetizer and the Manti for my main (it is my absolute favorite Turkish dish). I was very dissatisfied with both dishes. The meat inside both was completely devoid of spice so really just plain meat filling. I would have ordered dessert but wasn't going to take a chance on that being tasteless too. Would not return here, I felt ripped off on how much I paid. These dishes would have been 1/4 the price and 1000 times better in Turkey.
