Review from Mike S.
This is a really good Syrian restaurant! But I need to make something very clear. There are two sides to this place, Alep & Petit Alep. Alep is for your Syrian grandfather, Petit Alep is more modern, trendy. But... You can, and should ask for the Alep menu which is larger and more complete. I usually order the tasting menu and it's always great. You get to try about 10 different things in a few services.
They also have a fantastic wine list with a huge collection of private imports. Also, plenty of bio wine which is nice to try. Same taste, less sulfites, less hangover;) -

One of very few chill patios on this section of Jean Talon (ok, pretty much the only one) and they win extra gold stars and bonus points for pouring very nice wines, strong cocktails, and serving up exceptionally tasty and affordable Syrian food. Petit Alep is a little more young and rock and roll than fine dining (go in the other door to grownup Alep for that). It's special and served with pride (and no reservations. Deal with it.) The sound inside is a little clattery and jumping', and personally I wouldn't show up here after 7 on a nice weather day because I don't love a line, but there is certainly lots to love about Petit Alep.

Yum! Love the food at Le Petit Alep. The ambiance is very nice as well. There is a large variety of appetizers so go with friends to share.
Of course there's always a line-up for this place - even if you go at 6:30pm. Try to get a table further into the restaurant as I once sat at the table near the door and not only was it chilly in the middle of dinner, but we would occasionally feel people stomping their feet as they entered the restaurant to shake the snow of their boots. -

45mins wait for a table outside.
Food: okay
Service: friendly but ultimately bad-- screwed up one order, kept ignoring our empty water bottle, didn't chase away a bum in the outdoor seating area until after 5mins of begging for money (awkward!)
Ambience: Good.
Location: Great. -

After walking around Marche Jean Talon we asked a woman in a cookbook store located in the market a good place to have lunch and she recommended this place. Another woman nearby overheard and agreed so off we went. When we got to what we thought was the restaurant it was closed being it was a Sunday. Confused we kept walking to find a new place and came across Le Petit Alep a few feet away which was open. We hurriedly went in to escape the cold.
The menu is in French and we had a difficult time trying to decipher things so the host brought us Restaurant Alep's fancy menu book since it has English translations. I got the chiche kabab plate which comes with salad, pita but not your regular pita drizzled with an orange oil. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. It was so good. I want to go back but in a warmer month. -

Syria and Armenia. You won't find these countries in most of restaurants' lists, but their innovative flavors will definitely make you come back for more.
Le Petit Alep (The Little Alep), son of Le Grand Alep (it's neighbor) is more affordable and laid back than its daddy. Recognized as one of Montréal's best bistro, this hidden jewel is full of flavors, such as lamb, mantis (pastas stuffed with meat and nuts, served with cilandro and garlic yogurt), nuts crêpes, filet mignon and other deliciousness. For more happiness, share a couple of appetizers with your peeps, and you'll have a Syrian tapas evening.
While you are there, why don't you go for a walk at the Marché Jean-Talon Jean-Talon Market)? Just an idea.
Closed on Sundays and Mondays. -

I finally had a chance eat here again! I had such good memories of my previous meal here... 15 years ago! I wasn't disappointed. My husband and I shared a platter of assorted mezzes. Everything was very tasty. The rosé wine we drank with it was very good. Definitely a nice prelude to a visit to Marché Jean Talon. Ah, Montréal, I miss you! We will have to try Alep next time we are in town.

If you are a tourist in Montreal and looking to go to a non-touristy area, this place is for you. Le Petit Alep serves Syrian and Armenian food and has an extensive selection of wine. The servers were quite knowledgeable and attentive (this is some of the best service I have experienced in Montreal) and sitting on the patio was delightful on a breezy summer evening. The flavors and spices in the food were somewhat foreign to me, but quite enjoyable. I would definitely be inclined to make a trip back to this restaurant and explore more selections of food and wine.
