Mosaic Resto Lounge in Saint-Laurent

I recently visited Mosaic with a group of 10 colleagues, and while the presentation of the food was visually appealing (as you can see in the photos), the overall experience was underwhelming. Despite booking a week in advance, the restaurant seemed completely unprepared. We were the only table there for the two hours we spent dining, and yet the service was far below expectations. The waitress showed no enthusiasm or effort in making our visit enjoyable. With no other tables to serve, it felt like a missed opportunity to create a positive experience for us. Service was disorganized, with dishes arriving at different times, leaving us to eat separately instead of as a group. I personally didn t enjoy my chicken sandwich, which lacked flavor and didn t meet my expectations. However, some appetizers were enjoyable, such as the salad and certain dips, though others fell short in quality. A few of my colleagues had positive feedback about their mains, so there might be potential in other dishes I didn t try. The dessert experience was disappointing. The waitress initially recommended two desserts, only to return later and inform us they hadn t arrived yet. This strongly suggests that desserts aren t made in-house. The alternatives we ordered weren t fresh and felt like an afterthought, which was a letdown. That being said, I m open to trying Mosaic again because some of the appetizers looked great, and I didn t have the chance to try everything. The setting and presentation of the food are promising, but the restaurant really needs to work on their service, preparation, and consistency to deliver a better experience.

I came with my baby and they told me we don t accept you with baby that was disappointed and we comeback sad

Frest good, ambiance but service Is slow AND disorganized..however friendly though especially the guys from the shisha, great dude! ***Update after a second visit*** incompetent and almost retarded personnel, dont speak French nor English and dont prepare shisha in pm, with no reel explanation.....a mix of stupidity, incompetence and laziness*** never again

Everything was nice and the atmosphere on general was amazing. Highly recommend

Excellent restaurant serving fresh, authentic and tasty Syrian dishes. I enjoyed the Kebé Nayeh, a sort of Syrian-style tartare. I will come back there on my next visit to Montreal

We had a great time

Excellent cuisine. Warm welcome

Delicious food

Super slow service and expensive for nothing....small Portion of wood.

Food is good. Nothing exceptional but generally good. Service has to be one of the worst Ive seen in a while. I never left a restaurant without tipping but had no choice this time. I think we had to ask 8 times for water before someone got us some when we were about to leave. Waiter was nowhere to be found most of the night and when found, it took forever to get whatever we asked. Needless to say we wont ever come back.

First of all, a very bad experience I would never advise it, as this happened to me I have a reservation today, Saturday, and my reservation was confirmed by an employee at the restaurant 5 days ago, and I have an email that everything is fine. Today I arrived at the restaurant and they told me that there was no reservation at all and that my reservation had been cancelled. My reservation was to celebrate my friend s birthday with another friend, meaning we are 3 people. Unfortunately, when I arrived, the employee told me that the reservation was canceled and there was no reservation in my name. It was like a dragon of employees, each one talking to me in the same way. There is no reservation in your name, and the other one told me that there was a reservation in my name, but it was canceled for some reason, I don t know what it is, by the restaurant!!! By the way, my experience with this restaurant is very bad, and I am very upset because I invited my friend to celebrate his birthday in this restaurant, and today is Saturday, which means it is very difficult to find a place to celebrate together. Once again, employees must be responsible for their dealings with people and have professionalism and respect They never respect appointments I mean, its really a shame. In the end, my day ended by apologizing to my friend and I went home very upset and upset because of such a bad experience. Unfortunately, they lost customers. This is a great experience I dont care about the jamais, as I arrive I have a reservation at the same time, and my reservation has been confirmed by an employee of the restaurant in 5 days, and I have an email that says all of you. Autumn, I arrived at a restaurant and I didnt have a reservation and that my reservation was available this year. My reservation is made for the first anniversary of my mother after my mother, who has a sign for our family of 3 people. My employer said that the reservation was available this year and he did not have access to the reservation at my name. This is like a dragon of employment, so I can share in the manière. I dont have access to your reservation at home, and I dont have it. I have a reservation at my bedtime, but its an annual date for a nightclub, I dont know whats going on at this restaurant!!! Propose, my experience with this restaurant is where it is available and I am suicidal in the car I invite my mother to have an anniversary in this restaurant, and when it comes to the same place, this sign makes it difficult trouver an endroit pour fêter ensemble. Encore one of the photos, employees are responsible for their relations with gender and are prior to professionalism and respect. It doesnt respect the rendezvous I love you, its safe to eat. In the end, my day ended with my mothers parents and I rented my très food for the reason that I experienced it. Malheureusement, ils ont clients.

My best Syrian experience. Will come again for sure!

Went with friends for mezzas and Arak, very impressed. Loved the delicious baba ghanouj, Muhammara, cheese rolls, fattoush, tabboule and more. Great service

Awesome

My friend got his meal 15 minutes after the rest of us. We asked 3 times for water before getting some. Flies were all over the place and my shisha ran out of charcoal twice before someone came to change them. Poor service experience but good food.

An amazing Aleppo restaurant par excellence. Delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere

Poor service, should teach your waitresses how to give service!

Excellent and very well seasoned dishes, perfect juice, I highly recommend the experience! Aaah, the classic coffee too!

Very nice and delicious syrian food, especially you will find cooking recipes from the famous alepinian cuisine, which is their specialty. With some armenian touch. The owners are very welcoming and nice people. The decorations have some orientale mood effects, it is calm and charming.

Excellent time, magnificently good dishes, perfect and well thought-out decor. My favorite restaurant in Montreal. Great discovery. I will come back.

Excellent food and very friendly staff

Went for a baptism and it was very well organized, loved the food would definitely go again

Food is amazing Shisha is verryyy good Atmosphere is lovely Best shisha place in Montreal for sure Food : 5/5 |

We were there for Mothers Day, we were surprised by the impeccable service, generous and delicious dishes, clean place, comfortable CHAIRS, we will surely come back, thank you very much

Very clean and delicious food

great food but the management is horrible! the guy named Maurice of boy his attitude

Im writing this review from this restaurant while shocked about how stingy a restaurant like this can be. U pay 65$ per person and they serve you food that s not even enough for 4 persons. DO NOT eat here, it is NOT worth the money. The service is under zero, the management is even worse and when u ask to speak with a manager they tell you there s no manager here, another reason why u should not eat in a restaurant with no manager on the floor. Plus they show u their formule and they do not serve all the items on it and when u ask about it they tell u that they stopped serving the poulet tarator 2 months ago, although it still shows on their menu :) so again u pay for what u never eat :) Anyways, if u ever decide to eat here, make sure there s a macdonald on ur way back coz u ll leave hungry. :-)

This restaurant is clearly investing in a booster review scheme. Upon scrutinizing the ratings breakdown, the conspicuous gap between the 5-star ratings and other ratings reveals a manipulative tactic, which explains our lackluster experience. The food, while not the worst, is far from exceptional, hence overvalued. You can have a better quality for the same price elsewhere. Moreover, the level of unprofessionalism and incompetence exhibited by the staff is unacceptable. Our order for six persons extra formula, as advertised on the website, was marred by the absence of a platter. When we brought this to their attention, we received conflicting excuses from different waiters, alluding to its removal from the menu one or two months prior. This lack of communication reflects their nonchalant attitude and employment of bait-and-switch tactics. The so-called managers disinterest in taking responsibility was evident when asked about his role in managing the floor. His nonverbal response of raising his eyebrows in denial and nodding in agreement to our accusation was utterly unprofessional. Is this the standard of service one should expect from a purported 5-star establishment? Our experience at this restaurant was disappointing, to say the least. Definitely not coming back, and I am compelled to share my negative experience with others.

We saw our waiter twice, and his helper screwed up our orders and we never got what we asked for. The food was solid Mediterranean.

Great food

Nice place, delicious food and good service!

Delicious middle eastern food, generous portions and attention to details! Mouris, one of the owners, went out of his way to make our dining experience exceptional! Highly recommended

Amazing discovery, its more than just a restaurant, you can have a drink, a quick bite or a full restaurant experience. The food is very authentic and tasty (as a very picky middle eastern reviewer :) ... Keep it up Vegetarian options: More than half of middle eastern mazzas (appetizers like tapas) are vegetarian like salads, hummus, eggplant salads/dips, cheese rolls...

Amazing place

The restaurant is beautiful, spacious and well lit. The atmosphere is great, and the music playing on the TVs is at a reasonable volume. There is shisha but its well aerated and I didnt have any issues with the smoke despite having sensitive lungs to this sort of thing. The food is even more amazing: loved the garlic labneh and mouhamara, the sujuk sausages were very savory, and Ive never had a fresher, crispier, more delicious salad than the fattouch. Wonderful mixed plate, with tender chicken, filet mignon and kefta. The desert was transformative: the halawet el jeben felt like a a flavorful cloud, with a superb texture (in between mascarpone and mochi). The service was great! He made sure he got our receipt split right, and we even got the table a delicious ben naren dessert to split because he heard it was her birthday. Just a fantastic experience, and I will be cooking back to share it again with friends!

Lovely place with nice vibes and cute decorations. Love their sandwiches and shisha! Some items were spicier/more garlicky than what I would have liked but it s a personal preference. Very nice staff and comfortable atmosphere.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant with my friends, and I cant express how impressed I am! The food was absolutely delicious! What truly elevated the experience was the exceptional service provided by Sarmad. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking not only great food but also an outstanding level of service. A solid 5/5 stars! Thanks to Sarmad for making our visit extraordinary.

An outstanding restaurant, you have to go there, the service is impeccable, what can you say about the mouth-watering food and the super friendly staff, thank you The hookah is of very good quality To do again

Service is trash.

Very warm welcome, great food. Fast service because we were in a hurry. They offered us a little dessert. Thank you so much

Excellent place!!!!

Ive been here a few times. The food is decent (albeit overpriced) and the shisha is good. However, my friends and I had a really bad experience last week and the management was sub-par at rectifying the situation. My friend even waited until speaking to the owner a few days later and giving him a chance to fix what happened, but the owner didnt take the opportunity. This is really not up to Montreal restaurant standards and unfortunately the situation makes me not want to go back.

Amazing food! Every dish was very flavorful and unique. Highly recommend

Last night egg plant baba very bad I m sure they know that

I loved this place , food is more than great

Food is good, prices are affordable.. However, the service leaves something to be desired.. we went for a birthday and were around 15 people. The waiter, once he had taken all our orders, came back to tell us that there were no more sandwiches (while the whole table only ordered sandwiches) and that the chef who made sandwiches was not there , that you had to wait about 1 hour. We found this odd, because the waiter mentioned this to us after taking all of our orders. We therefore offered to order plates but asked to make them at the price of the sandwiches.. by chance, the waiter came back to us to mention that it was finally possible to make 3 types of sandwiches indicated on the menu.. while Was it mentioned to us that we had to wait? Weird situation... Apart from that, the service was really slow, we had to call the waiters several times..

Good and affordable food but the service is very slow.

The story of the sandwich is true... Slow service Not very appreciated on my part

Le service est pitoyable, très lent. Cependant, les sandwich étaient délicieux mais, on a du toutefois négocier pour pouvoir manger ce qui est dans le menu puisque le discours n étais pas uniforme. Ils prennent la commande au début pour ensuite dire que ce n est pas possible de le faire choisissez autre chose et après avoir argumenté, par hasard, c est possible de le faire.

Extremely extremely expensive, it s a caffe, same day I had a dinner at Modavie bistro, I paid less the time I ordered more + alcohol!

Great ambience and cool decor, excellent food. We had fatouch and mixed grill. They were great and authentic. Hookah and service were excellent.

Great tasting Syrian food restaurant. Get a mezza and definitely try the Toshka. The place is nice and bright with good service. They have TVs up so can watch sporting events etc. You can also ask for a deck of cards or backgammon box if you want to play a game.

Très bon restaurant dune quarantaine de places assises environ, propre et dun décor lumineux, qui vous propose une cuisine Syrienne authentique. Lacceuil et le service sont excellents, et les prix raisonables par rapport à dautres restaurants du meme menu. Il est préférable de resérver à lavance. Cest un restaurant que je vous recommende chaleureusement.

Food and services is amazing! Very clean. Recommended. Food : 5/5

Excellent food. Service good too. Too bad there are at least 5 hookahs being smoked at any one time. Secondhand smoke from hookahs can be a health risk for people who dont smoke too. It contains smoke from the tobacco as well as smoke from the heat source (e.g., charcoal) used in the hookah. Pas appétissant. Too bad.

I went here for a baptism When you walk in the place is absolutely stunning, the place is big enough to hold an event. This place is a oriental/Mediterranean vibes The service was amazing and the employees are really nice. They have a nice bar. The mezze selection was really big, the food was good, my favorite was the fattoush, the cheese roll and the chikoufte. The dessert was to die for. This place is perfect for groups and also event like bridal showers,baptism and birthdays. When I went they had a live singer which was good. The music is so loud tho, you could barely hear yourself talking but all together this place is something you should try at least one

We went to Moasic restaurant on the 26 of December 2022. Food presentation and taste was amazing and the portion was generaous. Good job guys keep up the good work. We will defenitly be back

Yes yes yes.... Loved the food service, and atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Great place

Good restaurant...

I had a really bad today and I just wanted to eat the beautiful dressing on the plate consisting of 4 sliced cucumbers sitting elegantly on the edges of the plate and I had been savouring the taste of the third cucumber when suddenly an uninvited villainous hand had grabbed the plate and yanked it away from my reach taking away with it my cucumber that could ve cured my depression. I don t know how I can this restaurant anything more than 1 star please accept my sincere at apologies. Ps for cucumber lovers be ware.

We went for our friends birthday the food is very good tasty and more then enough if you are 6 or more take the group deal its a lots of food and cheaper than ordering separate plates that was recommended by the waiter Hady he gaves us a great service and didnt get bothered by my repetitive question about if the meat is halal and did his best to convince me thank u Hady The only thing the place too crowded but no clouds of shisha or smell I recommend

So delicious! Highly recommend

Tasty food and friendly staff

Wow. Its very good. Well done and congratulations. A real Syrian restaurant, I tried on February 4, 2023 and to repeat absolutely..very good service.....and again Waw.. Congratulations..

Wow ! Its been a while since my last wow Kudos to all the team the food was perfect the narguile was excellent. The service was great. 5*****. Food

I had a deeply disappointing experience at this restaurant. My friend, who has a disability, and I were turned away despite the restaurant being empty. The staff was rude and unhelpful. Their customer service was poor and unwelcoming, and their treatment of us was even worse because of my friends disability. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone and will not be returning

Delicious and Amazing Frog legs!!!! But you have to order a day before. Ps . Service is impeccable.

I have eaten Syrian food in many restaurants but the best of all is here at Mosaic. Everything is fresh and tasty. From the choice of mezzah to the grill, everything is prepared to perfection. Come take a look and you wont be disappointed!

Great food and service

Highly recommended both for the quality of food and the lovely, homey experience provided by the oriental design.

Great service and food. Will definitely go again

Staff was wonderful! Ambiance great! Although food was way to spicy and so much hot peppers flakes and hot spicy paste upset my stomach all night! Would I go back I don t think so! But if you like HOT and SPICY this is the place for you! Vegetarian options: Vegetarian food more like Armenian style food very very spicy and so much hot peppers and hot paste!

Very clean place, family atmosphere perfect for chatting!! Excellent food! I will come back soon

Zero customer service, the waiter didnt smile once and took us for idiots when we asked him to replace the pickles with other things because we didnt eat them. Half of the menu is not available from Thursday to Sunday and this is not clear on the menu. The prices are super expensive. The shisha inside in a completely closed room... I thought I was going back to Lebanon with all its mess and its anarchy and where no one respects anyone

Nice local business doing well , serving fresh Syrian meals. Make a reservation before you go and expect above average sized dishes! I m still stuffed thinking about our dinner!

Refused admission because we came with a child but there was no signage or information on their website that it was not welcome for children. We came very early so we would not overlap with the crowds. Manager didn t bother to come and speak with us directly, instead preferring to stand back and have his waiter come back to speak to us. I understand they may have had issues with this / perhaps issues with police. But they had very little tact and humanity in communicating with us. Disappointing. First we went the food was delicious and they were much more polite and accommodating.

Excellent food and service. Nice atmosphere!

Love this place! Very delicious. Best chicken and mouhamara! Whenever I order something new, it becomes my new favourite

The food is delicious and theres a comfortable ambiance.

The food in this place is crazy good. I thought I knew hummus until I came here

Really great Syrian food and service. Great for large groups as well.

The atmosphere was perfect, i loved the Lebanese music , the drinks were perfect , if the food was bit more fresh it would ve been perfect , service was good and quick , recommend it !

Good experience, good service

For everyone ho read this i am peaky with food so this restaurant i one of favourite restaurants ho serves Lebanese food . They re was a lady called Annie she made sure for the service to be impeccable and memorable I would recommend this restaurant because of her .

Jy suis allée en petit groupe pour un événement, tous nous avons été subjugués par la qualité de la nourriture. Cétait excellent je recommande. Le service était rapide sauf pour les verres deau que nous avons demandé plusieurs fois avant de réussir à en avoir. Petit plus, un endroit où vous pouvez fumer la shisha. À aller entre amis !

The best in saint laurent

DO NOT HESITATE TO EAT THERE!!!!!! The food is BEYOND AMAZING!!! Service was okay, had to ask several time for water but ended up getting it eventually lool. I had the kibbeh,Mosaic plate, a rhum and coke for 75$ and it was WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!. I will FOR SURE go back.

Very good! Good portions

Twice so far, 1st for lunch and the second for dinner. The food was great both times, and I would say it s on the top 3 best Lebanese/Syrian restaurants Ive tried in montreal. The general atmosphere was good except when the sound of people chatting mixes up with the loud sound of music (cant stop people from talking, but the tv volume can be lowered). The service was good as well, not the best (thats why it s 4 stars instead of 5)

The restaurant is beautiful. The food is amazing, fresh, flavourful and great quality.

One of the best restaurants in Montreal. Delicious Mediterranean food in a friendly atmosphere.

Welcoming and friendly restaurant for a family meal or for a baptism but do it before 7 p.m. because from this time you can smoke shisha

Best middle-eastern restaurant in the Montreal area. Great dishes and awesome service. Cant wait to go back!

This is my 3rd visit, it s impeccable, the dishes are a delight, it deserves more than 5 stars Maintain quality of service + quality of food I highly recommend

It is the best restaurant in Montreal Canada in terms of service, food and atmosphere

Tasty Lebanese food and clean place. The prices are good and the staff were so friendly! I recommend it Food : 5/5

NHL of middle eastern food in Montreal - best Muhammerra anywhere!

Delicious food, great service and lovely ambiance

Excellent food and impeccable service

The first time I went, was amazing, but the last time we got it as a take away, they gave us another plate instead of green humus ( without saying sorry or change it or refund the money) and also the food was burnt!!! And some parts too wet We paid 80$ !!!! ( very pricey for nothing) and we put all of them in the trash! So disappointing!

We came just for the appetizers, and it was so authentic

A tasty Lebanese food

I recommend this awesome restaurant. The food was excellent. Marvelous service and atmosphere

Today, me and my husband and two other friends went to this restaurant which has no respect and no professionalism. The food has no taste, the shish taouk only has the color of the spices, the taste of the oily and disgusting Kurdiyeh cheese was terrible. At the staff level we have to run after them in order to be served 0 level of service please dear customers do not go to this restaurant there is much better in terms of flavor and taste and service.

Amazing food and very excellent service

This hidden gem of a Syrian brunch spot blew me away. The flavors were a symphony of spices, the presentation like edible art, and the service, warm and attentive. Im still savoring the experience!

Great place to hang out with friends. The mazzas are great to share. Make sure to order the Armenian salad and rolled sausage. For the mixed grill, the Shish Touk is the most delicious. The filet mignon and kabab are ok. Plus, you have shisha!

The set menu was more than delicious and fresh and the restaurant is very generous. Wednesday karaoke was very fun

Fantastic food with quality services

I have literally nothing negative to say. Seriously delicious food and very fresh! We also had the chicken shish taouk best shish taouk I ve had in all my life probably! I almost don t want to share this post keep it a secret lolol

Delicious Syrian food and good service, very recommended

Food

Nice Lebanese place with authentic dishes and good service

I called at 5 p.m. to reserve for 1 person at 7 p.m. The receptionist told me no need for a reservation as you are alone it will be OK. I arrived at 7 p.m. and was refused entry. I strongly advise against

Went there for drinks with friends, they wouldnt let us stay for more than an hour if we only had drinks, they will literally FORCE you to buy food to give you more staying time...

Amazing food, service and experience. Absolutely the best. Totally recommended.

Ooo uuuauu is an amazing place food and atmosphere

Very Good service!

Very good food and very good service . The restaurant is really fantastic

The service was really good and the food was delicious. Will be coming back soon!!

Amazing service and food!!

I 100% recommend this place. The food is very well priced and its delicious.

Best Syrian food Ive had in Montreal! Food came quickly and the staff was nice. Definitely recommend

Highly recommend. Excellent Mediterranean food, very good service and nice atmosphere

Best place ever, perfect food I advice everyone to go to mosaic. I had a great time with my friends and family

Even though that people smoke shisha, the ventilation system did miracles. No smell at all. Food, service and atmosphere are great. This was my 1st visit with friends. Recommended and I will go again. Good job guys. Keep on. Food

Went for an early dinner once, and ordered take out another time. Great food & service! I highly recommend!

Amazing food and service. The place is very nice also. We took the full menu for 4 people and the portions were more than enough. Highly recommended this restaurant, you won t be disappointed!

Good service and very delicious meal!

First time here, delicious Syrian food.

Food and service is A1

In short....perfect
