One of my favorite restaurants close by. Have been here for lunch and dinner. The cucumber soup is fantastic and the restaurant is truly authentic. Try the dizzy on Sunday's if you have a big enough appetite. It's an amazing lamb stew. Even if you have something else, it's really neat seeing how the crowd changes from 20 something hipsters and young families to little old middle eastern men and women. Almost always the same people on Sunday early evenings.:) never been for breakfast but after reading the reviews I'm definitely going to give it a try. love, love, love.

Located on a quiet block in Montreal, Byblos has plenty of local business. We walked into this spacious, family-owned restaurant only to be greeted by friendly host.
Then, the owner himself came out to give us a rundown of the menu with passion and of course, thick Persian accent. He recommended we ordered the set menu for 4, which includes appetizers (bread and 4 dips), 4 entrees and 4 kinds of desserts. We accepted without protest.
The dips are outstanding with flavors including yogurt with cucumber, beans, garlic and another meaty one. They go perfectly with the warm house pita bread. For entree, we got chicken, lamb and beef and they all come with different style of rice. I love lamb the most because the rice is the tastiest but also the lamb is cooked to tender and flavorful.
We ended with 4 types of puddings and sorbet in a martini glass. I really enjoy the cucumber sorbet because it is truly refreshing and unique.
The restaurant is lovely with Persian arts on the wall and you don't feel rushed or too loud dining inside. I enjoy the food and company here and would recommend to tourists and locals alike. -

I loved the decor, ambiance.. Not overpowering.. but authentic, friendly and genuine...
The food is good, and has a homemade taste. I dont think they use many processed foods while preparing their dishes, which is great.
I'll go back. -

I've been there only for breakfast. They serve you what they call Feta omelet: a secret mixture of, well, feta, eggs, butter and dill. Sounds ramdom, but tastes like no eggs you've ever had before.
You can also choose to go with the date omelet, or the oriental one. If you order the "combo", you'll get a coffee, homemade bread and homemade jam (the waitress will overwhelm you with her rose-carrot-ginger-orange-pistachio-lime - and it goes on...- list of possible flavors) for about 9$. A deal.Very exotic, all of it served in a beautiful place, all of wood, with windows wide open during the Summer.
The only downer: the service is kinda slow... It's usually because the owner and her daughter are fighting about something, which is actually worth the wait.
Plus, the neighborhood is great: young and familial, with cheese and bread shops, organic and clothes stores. Everything you think Montreal should be!
Keep your eye out for all the Québec celebrities hanging out in this joint!! Not that you will necessarily recognize them if you don't live here, but anyhow, they usually wear sunglasses at night. Like our very Corey Hart. -

Restaurant itself is beautiful. If I had one wish, it would be that Sofra in Cambridge looked like this place. Service was good too. The food on the other hand, not so much. I ordered the date nut omelet, which was basically a small plate of scrambled eggs mixed with pureed date nuts. It looked like something one would find in a baby's soiled diaper... And the taste, ugggg. Just thinking about it is making me nauseous... You do get a huge basket of bread and a choice of coffee beverage, but the bread was just ok and the coffee pretty mediocre. If you wanna eat a shit ton of bread and sweet scrambled eggs, then this place is for you. If not, I say skip it.
