Traditional Middle Eastern restaurant & Café
One the best middle eastern food in Montreal! Service is amazing! I did catering for my engagement party and everyone loved it. Food was fresh and stayed hot the whole time. They kept refilling the plates and we didn’t miss anything.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lylac Resto Lounge, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! Food: The food was absolutely outstanding! Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and crafted with care. From the appetizers to the main courses and desserts, everything we tried was delicious and beautifully presented. The menu offers a great variety of options, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences. Whether you’re in the mood for savory or something light, Lylac Resto Lounge has something special for everyone. Service: The service was top-notch. The staff were warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, making sure we felt comfortable and had everything we needed. They were knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. We never felt rushed, and the overall service was friendly and professional. Atmosphere: The atmosphere was perfect—modern, cozy, and family-friendly. The elegant décor and comfortable seating created a relaxing environment that’s great for any occasion, whether it’s a casual dinner or a special celebration. The ambiance strikes a nice balance between upscale and inviting, making it suitable for both adults and kids. Birthday Party Experience: My friend hosted her child’s birthday party here, and it couldn’t have gone better! The staff went above and beyond to accommodate the party, and the kids had a fantastic time. The restaurant provided ample space, and the atmosphere was lively yet organized. They made sure everything was set up perfectly, and the food was a hit with both kids and adults. Convenience: One of the standout features of Lylac Resto Lounge is the convenience. There is plenty of free parking available, which is a huge plus, especially for events. It made the experience stress-free for all the guests attending the birthday party. Overall Impression: Lylac Resto Lounge offers a winning combination of delicious food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're planning an event, celebrating a special occasion, or just looking for a fantastic meal, this place is a hidden gem. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience! Can’t wait to return soon
Very yummy, extremely clean and presentable, service is great, this place keeps getting better and better, can’t say good enough things about the service, food and quality. Very very yummy. 🤤 Servers are great too. Quality Mediterranean food. Try them out. You work regret it
I had Lylac Catering for my engagement party, and it was amazing! The food was delicious, fresh, and more than sufficient for all our guests. Jean was present and made sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend Lylac for any catering needs!
Be careful prices showing in the menu are not the one that you will pay after .. you might pay 25% more than the price showing in the menu ... First and last time! In the menu the Aleppo kabab is 22$ and surprise .. In the bill it's 29 + additional taxes and tips... Are you taking people for stupids???? And me asking myself and my friend, how come such restaurant is soo empty during the weekend .. and now I just got the response why.. Do not think that when you steal people, that will make you richer, it's even the complete opposite, you will loose from the other hand! Hassbi Allah wa ni3ma al wakil
We went for the breakfast buffet during the weekend. The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and accessible (parking on site). I liked the breakfast but didn't feel that the options offered were enough. Everything tastes good, but not delicious (except for the bread). The staff is friendly, but the service was very slow. Since there was no wow factor, I'm giving it 3 stars.
Came here with my family and we had a wonderful time. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was nothing but perfect. The staff were very respectful and helpful. This restaurant offers an outdoor terrace and indoor seating area. There’s a large free parking lot next to the restaurant. Highly recommended for families and friends meetings. Prices are higher than average.
Went to this place for the first time to try it as it is close by to my home and I drive by it on a regular basis. I am giving it a four-star for the following reasons. Overall the food was really good and relatively well priced for the portions. The only reason I removed a star is that this is a shisha bar so for someone who is not as comfortable around smoke, you are constantly surrounded by it as people are smoking at every table. I understand this is the concept of the restaurant although I would have appreciated if they advise you of that when you first walk in so that you can make a choice and not be stuck with smoke while you're eating your meal.
We had our work office party at Lylac, it was an overall 5 star experience. The generosity is unmatched, the food was incredible and the service was perfect. A special thank you to Jean who took great care of us.
Great Syrian and Aleppo food
Authentic aromas of Aleppo, quality food, Syrian tapas, and good service. Missing only some music
Very enjoyable meal. Rated very authentic.
We had our corporate Christmas party, the atmosphere, service and food were perfect! We were very well accommodated!
First visit with a group of friends. Nice atmosphere. The food is good although friends found the beef a little overcooked. Possibility of taking your order away at the end of the meal. Nice little restaurant.
Sooooooo expensive !!!!
It was my first time i went there ,they give us a table on terasse but its cold not enough heater inside ,the people that came after there too much noisy ,especially with there kids running left and right ,the music was loud too,I didnt like the atmosphere .
Woowww wow wowww this is really an AMAZING PLACE. I am a little late in leaving my review but I just didint get the chance too do it earlier. We did my daughter s baptism here on October 27th, everything was just so perfect all my guests were very happy and gave us great feedback. The food was DELICIOUS, the atmosphere was great. I want to say a BIG shoutout to ANIIIIII the manager and all the staff. They really made everything so special and made sure that we were happy with everything. They did multiple check ins with us and made sure everything was good. ANI ANI ANI she is fantastic, very customer service oriented and delivers !!!! If you want to do an event here or a small gathering or just even go out to eat, this is really the place !!! You will not be disappointed. Thank you so much LYLAC MTL we will be coming back here very frequently.
The food is excellent!! and the place is cozy
Very dangerous experience Sunday evening. Place frequented by vagabonds who are violent and aggressive as well as their children. I do not recommend and I will never go back.
Very expensive for what it is, check your bills before paying because I realized too late that I was charged an extra 20$ on my bill. I do not recommend the place even if the food is not bad.
I ordered with Uber and found a piece of plastic in the cream of the katayef
Very friendly staff and great food
Best Mediterranean food in canada # 1 and great people
its the best quality price syrian or east mediteranean food ,nothing to complain about
I love the fact that they added a play area for kids, this is exactly what we needed and for some reason no place offer that in Montreal.
Yesterday was another amazing catering experience from best original Syrian restaurant Lylac. The setting, the delicious food and the generous portions were greatly appreciated by all guests. Thank you Lylac, for a professional service and best tasting experience in Montréal, until next celebration, thank you Again
The food is amazing! Just ordered for a pickup and a staff member named Antoine helped me bring it to my car!!! Very impressed :)
Great ambience/atmosphere. Food was wonderful. Will definitely be back for that kibbeh nayeh
Great restaurant and great food. Very delicious!
We were there yesterday first impression we didnt feel welcome ,After sitting down we waited almost 40 minutes for someone come in to replace the order ,After getting the food we had to call comeone always to come in to get more items, In the end my main dish didnt come in waited for longest time ,I had to stand up to to the front asking about my main dish ,Manager wasnt available ,No one help ,I will never go back to this place ,It is the same feeling for everyone was on the same table we were 7 peoples, I will never recommend this place to anyone super poor service .
I am giving it 2 stars because this used to be one of my favorite restaurants for the past 10 years. I frequently visited and often brought friends, even those from outside Montreal. While I understand that prices have increased, as they have at many restaurants, my issue is with the discrepancy between the menu prices and the final bill. For example, my plate was listed as $28 on the menu, but I was charged $35, and with tax and tips, it came to $47. The same thing happened with my friend, who was visiting for the first and last time. Sadly, this will be my last visit to Laylac, and I now understand why it was nearly empty. I had no additional items to my plate such as salad or fries like stated by the manager bellow , neither did my friend and both of our plates were priced differently on the menu and on the receipt
While the food at Lylac Resto Lounge is good, the experience has been marred by a significant issue: inconsistent pricing. Multiple reviews have echoed my experience of being presented with a bill that was considerably higher than what was advertised on the menu. The waitress, unfortunately, failed to clarify that additional charges would apply for specific add-ons. This lack of transparency feels dishonest and has left a sour taste in my mouth. The deceptive pricing practices make it difficult to recommend this establishment.
Amazing food and amazing service... The patio was spacious but hot... Superb food and sandwiches! Would highly recommend! Enhoy
Very bad experience I drove 1h20 to arrive and be told that the kitchen is closed I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!!!! Be careful its a scam
Very bad reception this evening, kitchen closed at 10 p.m. even though we called and were told that it is open until 11 p.m. We were literally chased away on site.
The best food ever I test
On this Thursday July 11th we had a beautiful gathering about 33 people as a family reunion and we enjoyed every moment everything was so beautiful great service thank you so much! And Our server Nada was really good and pleasant !!! Tnx Nada
At the door before getting a table, they mentioned to have Shisha available. But once we got the table and ordered the food, they said there must be some confusion and that they have stopped offering Shisha. Ruined our entire evening. The food is also very expensive cost me $57 for one drink and one Shawarma plate.
Super good choice of several dishes.
Lylac is one of the best restaurants. The portions are very big, they are really generous with food, as well as the desserts. The quality of the food is top. And the prices are really really good , not expensive at all for the classic restaurant like this . Highly recommend
I visited your restaurent today at 7:45 PM to pick up my order and was disappointed with the service I received. The person at the counter did not acknowledge me in any friendly or courteous manner and appeared visibly annoyed, giving me the impression of wanting me to just take my order and leave. There was no communication or attempt at customer service. While I understand that everyone can have an off day, a minimum level of respect and professionalism is essential in customer service roles. Given this experience, I will be taking my business elsewhere to one of the many similar restaurants in the neighborhood.
Good
the food is devine
It is impossible for the restaurant to be awesome. The food was amazing, the service was more than comfortable, and the staff was amazing, as helpful and friendly as it was. It is truly a restaurant that is visited frequently. Thank you for your concern for your customers.
If any of u guys don t have enough to pay 15% tip don t come here because they gonna ask you for it specially the girl at the service she asks people for 15% tip wow
Everything was very good and the staff took care of us
Za3far was an amazing waiter. A really nice service and outgoing. My friends and i came to lylac on april 27th and it was an exceptional night. Thank you so much !
GOOD
Excellent food and very friendly service. I recommend strongly
Seriously, the best boneless chicken in Montreal is delicious, and the potatoes and sauce that come with it are international
Good food. Nice place for a shisha or to have a tea. I recommend.
They serve hot bread which is great. The taste of humus can be improved. I had better tawouk and Kebab but overall it was fine.
We made a reservation for 8 people and we went there as some of us wanted shisha but unfortunately they don t serve shisha now so we ordered some food, honestly it was very very low quality we ordered a sandwich it was a one bite sandwich empty inside we ordered chicken pizza and soujouk pizza I can t tell you how the meat on top of the pizza smelled like and how cheap the cheese they used. Honestly felt like it s a heated frozen pizza (the one we get in the supermarket) Also the first thing that got served to us was patate and imagine it was with curry spice so no one liked it and we asked to return it and they confirmed that it has curry and took it back then we received our pizzas and sandwiches and no one was able to eat the food on top of the table but we couldn t return all the food And it wasn t cheap honestly, we paid a lot of money for a very untasty food They really should consider changing their menu or just remove pizzas and sandwiches and only keep middle eastern specialty (we didn t try it though)
A bad plan because the food is not good, especially the garlic potatoes. The pizzas, lets not talk about them anymore, no taste and the dough is like plastic. It was a failure for a group outing of 8 people who were disappointed.
Loved this place, the waitress was great kept coming every while and asking hows everything. The food is good, I didnt try much from the menu. The atmosphere is nice but I wouldve appreciated arabic music instead of English as its middle Eastern restaurant.
Great food
Unclean food, bad treatment of customers, and lack of respect in talking to customers
One of the best places in Montreal. Delicious food , nice presentation, and very friendly waiters.
These people are unprofessional wastes of time and dont respect their schedule or their customers. I can assure you that this is the last time we waste our time coming dear to you
Its one of my favorite restaurants, Ive been going there for several years and its always been excellent, when I want to eat Syrian I go there, the food is excellent and we always have a very good service
High quality food Delicious Food
superbe service. the filet mignon cooked as i asked for. the bread is to die for. surely will come back again.
Excellent service, may God grant them wellness, young men and women
Food is good! Service is amazing! Nada the server was extremely kind, definitely will come back again
Good food But the problem is the service is very bad. All the employees are watching you even before you enter the restaurant. They staring at you all the time. My advice: All the waitresses keep your eyes away from the customers
One of the worst
I went there with a few friends to smoke shisha and play cards the other day. They told us no shisha on weekends. Fine no problem, we order the food and decide to play some cards. They tell us after ordering that we are not allowed to play. The restaurant was empty apart from another table. Their excuse was: card games get too violent So no Shisha no Cards, the main reason we even went there. I received my shish taouk which was terrible. It only has pickles inside which tasted terrible and I wanted to throw up the whole time. I ended up getting food poisoning now. The rest of the food we received was extremely salty. When we left the waiter gave us an attitude because he was listening to our conversations and heard us saying that they must have lost their shisha permit showed us the shisha permit. No wonder the place was empty. Terrible experience, terrible food would never go back.
I went and had dinner over there, the atmosphere was very nice and received great service by zafer
Amazing service by zafer. He was really respectful and nice!!
Delicious food, hospitable staff, lovely ambiance. Highly recommend weekend breakfast!
La nourriture était délicieuse mais le service est tellement désagréable que j y retournerai plus jamais. J ai demander une cuillère, le serveur me réponds pourquoi, je lui réponds que c est pour manger la salade, il me dit ok mais ne me l amène pas, j ai essayer de le faire signe quelques minutes plus tard mais il m ignore. Le gars à l accueil est encore pire.
Nice place!
Got takeout, wooow this place is delicious! Cant wait to visit. Try the halawet el jibn. What a special dessert with an amazing texture.
Very delicious food and good service even the staff are very friendly
Well the food is good, but the quantity is way too less compared to the price!!! For 47$ we got one small box of mix kaftas, which from any other place we could have gotten thrice the quantity in the same price.
First the food was very average. The service is unacceptable, it seemed like the servers didnt want us to be there. We paid $60 per person. We were served mezza with a portion of a small bowl for three people. The highlight of the evening was the grill we had two dishes with 5 skewers in each dish: ten small skewers of different types for nine people although we paid per person and it is not necessary to say that it There was nothing else besides grills. Restaurant to avoid!!!
Service Food Desert A1!!!
One of the best restaurants in town
Great food and great service
Best restaurant and the best atmosphere!! Very fast service and super good food we have been coming here for 4-5 years WE HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED
Amazing food and very friendly staff
Super delicious
My favourite place in Montreal
The food is good Unfortunately the welcoming is lacking . Feel sometimes that no matter how many times you come and show appreciation the management team take it for granted. We can see favoritisme towards Lebanese people and other nationalities are not as welcomed . Hope that everything will change for better and regular customers are taken with better care. Really miss the old team!
Very good value for money. Coal changers need to be more cheerful and courteous. Parking: Book / reserve in advance ;)
Ambience is nice, food is ok, tried to cheat me with the milk ice cream, it wasn t cool
My favorite Shisha place in montreal. Food is so good as well.
Sunday buffet brunch: Almushalala cheese salty, Falafel wasnt good it is ready made type , also must install a ceiling fans outside during the hot weather
Lebanese atmosphere with shisha and typically oriental products
Nice place, polite staff, delicious food Everything is awesome there I really recommend Recommended dishes Mix Dessert Plate by Henri, Tabouli Salad
Best restaurant in town
Everything was perfect!
Very tasty food and excellent service.
Food is ok, service wasnt that good. There was a vibe of racism since me and my friend were not Arab (no offense Im myself Muslim, but Im not Arab)... I noticed they treated Arabs differently.. picture wasnt worth it
Very warm welcome, impeccable service
We had a buffet made for 30 people and it was a great success. It was delicious. Excellent advice and service. A special thank you to the young waitress who was very friendly. A big thank you to all of you!!
I went yesterday for my first time with colleagues, to the one in Montreal, we were so satisfied and amazed, the food was very good, the staff was very welcoming, very good service! I will not hesitate for a second to come back other times.
The food is amazing
Horrible
Super
Ordered the 1kg kebab for priority delivery through Uber Eats and it came cold. This order was completely cold, as if the food was prepared way in advanced and left sitting on the counter. Also for 1kg of kebab, you would think it would come with several grilled tomatoes, onions and peppers as this order is good for 3-4 people .wrong! My order came with 1 tomato and 1 small onion, which were both raw. The kebabs were also rubbery. The fries also came half full and the pivaz was not even half full. The entire order was cold and we had to reheat everything up. I will not be ordering from this location anymore, better to order from the Laval location as they are way more generous in terms of the grilled veggies, plates are filled up and the food arrives hot.
Cozy place
This is the best Lebanese restaurant i ever ate! what a wonderful meal we had! thank you! The portions were better than expected! we have food enough for tomorrow! The flavor! wow! cant believe i ate in a 200$ Lebanese restaurant in mtl this week. They couldnt deliver the same quality of flavor as this restaurant. Thank youuuu!
Its a nice Middle Eastern restaurant. It was disappointed they didnt have any shishas anymore, but overall, foodwise was excellent. I recommend
Amazing place, affordable prices, great service and overall a 10/10 restaurant.
This is our first experience in this restaurant. The food is delicious, the service is excellent, and the staff and manager are very respectful. I wish them success and recommend trying it.
Excellent food and great service!
Over priced .tasty food . Good shisha . Not recommended for groups as it will cost them a fortune once a year visit will be enough
I highly recommend this restaurant the food is super good the portions are generous their dishes are plentiful I had a sandwich with coffee fries and a kounafa $30 you eat your fill the atmosphere is great the service is good you dont wait long to be served and there is parking seeing that there is a maxi next door so for those who want to go and chill with friends it is an excellent place
We drive from Ottawa to come have breakfast or dinner. They NEVER disappoint us with their delicious selection of the variety of food . Great service and very welcoming. Cant talk enough about the high quality of food especially their BBQ selection
Best Middle Eastern / Syrian / Lebanese food in Montréal. Fresh bread. Excellent quality and service.
Great brunch on weekends
Very good food, warm atmosphere! Impeccable service!
It was the best place I ve been to, their cold and hot Mazza were incredible. Plus we had mixed grilled plater the shish tawok was moist and juicy. Thank you so much for the perfect food and friendly environment
Called for takeout! Food was ready right on time and quality was good until we made it back home. Thanks
It is good, but it is sad that the Lebanese breakfast on Sunday doesnt have desserts.
Amazingly delicious
It was our first time food so delicious the service was great will definitely recommend it
Great service from start to finish. Solid food presentation. We had basterma pizza, taboule, and a mixed platter of grilled meat including chicken and filet mignon with fries. Definitely a repeat however not with the same person. She s an ungrateful psycho.
Very nice decoration and service. Appetizers are so delicious with perfect presentation. Main courses was very bad, grilled meat was over seasoned which couldn t show the meat taste, in addition to meat looks and taste like an old meat. The servant accidentally dropped half cup of water over the main dish of mixed grilled without changing the dish neither providing any additional dish or discount. I would doubt my return, but if so, it will be for appetizers only.
Ordered mixed grill platter, the meat was so old and dry, looks like it was heated multiple times it made me sick for a week, will never return again.
Very good service.
A restaurant with delicious taste and variety of dishes including Arabic grills, all salads and starters
There is one person whos always there gives evil looks makes me uncomfortable each time I go there for many years
It is good in absolute and has a large choice but when compared to others it is not the best in breakfast. If you only want breakfast there are other places that are better.
I wonder if your hookah service continues?
Hello.. I called to reserve your lunch buffet.. Two weeks ago they told me that it would not be on Sunday, November 5th, but that it would be on Sunday, November 12th... and the reservation was made.. until I was surprised by a call from your restaurant today to say To me, the reservation has been canceled because you are having a party outside the store. But this is not a logical reason...to do this...you are losing customers...and showing a lack of respect for them...
An amazing lounge with high quality food
Very bad taste, oily and totally not recommended. In addition, you order a sandwich, they bring the plate (review is based on multiple plates)
The best Syrian restaurant in the town good service, delicious food , lovely staff and very good prices = best of the best
The food is very good, and the staff are friendly, I advise you to try it.
Always good Fresh and delicious Food
Excellent food and well presented, very clean and well kept. To return.
Delicious and very good service. Best Libanis restaurant Food
Great place ,nice food .
