    Homemade sausage, hummus , Fatush salad
    Asiyeh Z.

    I discovered this spot on the Michelin recommended list while visiting Montréal, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. I opted for the chef's tasting menu and chose the 2.5-course option. Every dish I tried--the tabbouleh, beef tartare, fattoush salad, homemade beef sausage, hummus, and filet kabob--was fresh and flavorful. The only minor drawback was that the pita bread wasn't homemade; it came from a bag. Overall, a highly satisfying meal and a great introduction to modern middle eastern flavors. I would give them a 4.5 star but given yelp does not allow me to do that I will give them a 5 star.

    We took the dégustation option, so our waiter recommended us some plates. It was a great way to get to taste many things that we would normally not chose. The two that stood out are the Foule Moudamas (meat in a lemon olive oil garlic sauce) and Chiche Kabab Terbialy. I do not recommend the Kébbé Nayé.

    My parents in law told have told me several times how they love Petit Alep and since I was in the Jean-Talon area I decided to finally give it a try! We ordered the Sabanegh mezze and the fattouche to start and the chiche kabab and the baked lamb as mains. Everything was delicious but the baked lamb dish was my favourite. The spices and the chopped almonds really made the dish. Prices were very reasonable and service was quick and attentive. Special mention about the service: My mom is celiac and the waiter and kitchen were so attentive. The waiter was new and he triple checked with the kitchen that she could eat certain dishes. We wanted to order the eggplant mezze but finally the kitchen mentioned that their may be cross-contamination so he suggested the spinach dip (sagheia). They made sure to put all the pita breads and on the side and made us a special rice without vermicelli. Exceptional service!

    We didn't know what to eat and the snow was clearly making it difficult for us to walk somewhere else so we came in this restaurant and had a GREAT time. The food is great, not expensive and the service is really good. The food was tasty and we could not be happier. We ordered the Pita Grillé (Falafel) and we were amazed by the size and flavor.

    La Petit Alep is another restaurant that I've known about for ages but for some reason, I've never been. They're sister restaurant to next door neighbour Restaurant Alep but at a much more reachable price point. After trying to eat first at Trilogie but failing (they were randomly closed for a three day family vacation), we were trying to think of somewhere nearby to salvage our Tuesday lunch plans. LPA to the rescue. Hours are great. Closed Sunday and Monday but every other day is 11:00am-11:00pm. A perfect spot to drop by before or after some JTM shopping. The inside is very eclectic. Love the use of bright colours and dark wood here. The place was packed for a Tuesday afternoon. Everyone was outside sitting on the terrace and basking in the sun. We got the next best thing - a table within reach of the terrace so we could at least feel the breeze. If you've never been to La Petit Alep, it's a mixture of Syrian and Armenian cuisine. The menu has a huge selection: sandwich and plates options, soups, mezza, cheese plates, salads, grilled pitas and extras. On the back, desserts and your choice of juices, coffes and teas. I had to leave early but the fam jam got to try dessert! - Metabal ($3.50 mini) - grilled eggplant purée, tahini and garlic. Comes with a bag of mini pitas. So incredibly fresh and vibrant flavour. - Mouhamara ($3.75 mini) - bread crumbs, pomegranate molasse and walnuts. Never had mouhamara before but it reminded me of a blend between roasted red pepper hummus and tomato paste. - Sabanegh ($4.25 mini) - spinach, coriander, onion and spices. I'd eat spinach like this everyday if someone was making it this good! Love how they have the mini option available for all their mezzas. Perfect way to sample and share. - Fattouche ($12.00 large) - romaine, tomatoes, cucumbers, grilled pita and garlic. This was light, refreshing and citrusy. Honestly, I feel like I'm eating so healthy every time we order fattouche. Great crunch from the grilled pita. - Falafel grilled pita ($8.50) - tahini and herbs. I wasn't expecting the falafel pita to be flat and stuffed inside like a pita sandwich. A nice change of pace from your usual falafelness. - Aleppo sausages platter ($12.75) - beef sausages with pine nuts. The sausage was a bit on the chewier side but grab two pieces of the pita and make it into a make do sandwich. The accompanying side salad is pretty plain. We added the leftovers to the fattouche. - Baked lamb platter ($16.25) - marinated baked lamb, rice and nuts. Lamb was moist, tender and flavourful. Love the use of nuts to give a bit of crunch to the dish. Happy I finally was able to try La Petit Alep. If you're looking for somewhere light and healthy to eat, this is it.

    This place was jam packed!!!! The 15 minute wait to get seated made me wonder if anyone in Montreal ever cooks! It was tight and noisy, but some friends from Montreal recommended it, so we thought we'd try it out. The Zatar mixed appetizer was a delicious start to our meal. I was grateful that we purchased the Petit hummus, which was the right size for two people to share. My roast lamb dish was fine, but not super spectacular and my wife really enjoyed her beef skewers. Service was a tad slow due to the high volume of customers, but they got to us enough (I just might have ordered another drink if they had come by some more). The cocktails are quite nice - we enjoyed our Manhattan and Old Fashioned. All in all, I'm glad I tried it; not sure I'll be back (at least not during the dinner rush!). It's definitely a place where the locals go, so maybe I'll have to try something different next time.

    We visited Le Petit Alep last night for the first time. We had checked it out the day before and noticed there were lots of people waiting at 8pm, so we thought we'd beat the crowds and get there by 6:15. Luckily we did, as we noticed people were already starting to wait for tables at the bar by 6:45. We were seated right away and brought menus and a bottle of cold water. After about 5 minutes or so, a waitress came by to ask if we'd like drinks. We mentioned we would like a bottle of wine, so she said she'd have the sommelier come over. That seemed a little strange to us for such a casual restaurant. The sommelier arrived about 5 minutes later and suggested a few wines to us. We ordered and he brought our wine within a few minutes. He poured it for us and returned to top up our glasses a couple of times during our meal. We waited for about 10 more minutes before our waitress reappeared to take our orders. We ordered the Aleppo cheese plate to start and 3 main dishes. We noticed that all tables were given a small basket with a bag or two of mini pitas. It seemed strange that the pitas were served in plastic bags, but I guess that's so that they won't dry out. Our cheese plate arrived garnished with some fresh arugula. There were 8 slices of Aleppo cheese, drizzle with a little olive oil and what looked and tasted like a sprinkling of za'atar. It was quite tasty, but I felt it could have used a little something else (maybe olives?). Our main dishes arrived a few minutes after we finished the cheese plate. We had one Chiche Kebab plate which had filet mignon with onions, topped with grilled pieces of pita bread, green salad and a rice/vermicelli combo. It was very tasty and the steak pieces were rare as requested. We also ordered the Baked Lamb plate which had baked lamb in a sauce with pine nuts, rice and green salad. The lamb was quite tasty and moist. The final dish was Poutine D'Alep. This tasted exactly the same as the baked lamb dish, but it was served atop french fries which had the same sauce as the baked lamb and was also topped with aleppo cheese. It tasted just as good as the other lamb dish, but it really could have used a fresh element such as a salad as it was very heavy. The waitress came by a few times during our meal and was very friendly, as were the other wait staff we encountered. The prices were fairly good. Our bill was around $85 before tax and tip. All in all it was quite a nice meal. If we were in the area for more than a week, we may return to try other dishes.

    As I was going to the marche Jean-talon, decided to stop by this restaurant to have a quick lunch. Arrived at 11h30, the place was relatively calm, but noted the place filled up quickly as lunch time is approaching. We were seated at their terrace. We were able to find free parking. The server was on top of his menu. We ordered the Poutine with braised lamb and asked his recommandation on few entrées to share. He brought the hoummous, mouhamara, 2 shrimps and sausages. My favorite was the mouhamara!!! Made with bread crumbs, pomegranate molasse, and walnuts. The taste was absolutely delicious. It was a nice finding. Portions were just perfect for 2 and we were quite full by the end of the meal.

If I had to be a bit nit-picky, I would say that even with the quality of the entire experience taken into account, the prices could have been a bit better. I think we spent about $60 per person and were still a little bit hungry after all was said and done.

My mom is gluten-free, soy-free, dairy-free, 100% olive oil... lots of dietary restrictions, and Damas accommodated for her so kindly! The staff were super kind and welcoming. My mom had come here once before, and the waitress remembered her by name and was incredibly gracious and patient as my mom explained her diet. As for the food, just WOW. The pomegranate salad was incredible, and we got the lamb, chicken, mushrooms... everything was so beautifully plated with vibrant colors and burst of many flavors. Each perfectly cooked. It's amazing how they can turn something as "simple" as mushrooms and chicken to be so incredibly delicious. We celebrated my mom's birthday here, and the ambiance was perfect for it. 10/10 would recommend this place, especially for anyone with allergies.

    The Short Version: Popular shawarma place on Sainte…read moreCatherine Street. The beef shawarma was pretty good. The Long Version: My husband and I were chilling in our hotel when my husband had a hankering for some shawarma. He didn't want to go too far, and I encouraged him to try a new-to-us place, lol. So a quick search led him to Shawarmaz. Shawarmaz is a Canadian company that started 2013 in Montreal. It has several locations but they are all in the Greater Montreal Area. My husband got the beef shawarma in a pita $9.79. They have the option of getting your shawarma in Saj bread or a baguette and those options are more expensive. He got lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, turnips and onions. For his sauces he got hummus, spicy garlic and chipotle. He enjoyed the shawarma. I had a bite so I could review it (I also went with him so I could see the restaurant and take pictures) haha. I thought it was pretty good. They give you a decent amount of protein. And the beef was flavourful and not gristly. I was surprised that the wrap was not too spicy considering the sauces he chose. The decor is fast food restaurant-like. Service was good but it did take a while for the food, although it's likely because there was a pretty long line up. Review #205 (2025)
