The 24 Best Restaurants In Montreal - Montreal - The Infatuation
"We can't think of Petit Alep without visualizing their pitas presented in a plastic bag for freshness—the prelude to a feast of Syrian mezze and small plates. It might not be the most elegant service, but you’ll appreciate it as soon as you smear those breads with walnut-studded muhammara, roll small Armenian sausages inside them, or dip them into the pool of olive oil and lemon that a minty kebab patty is swimming in. Petit Alep is a boisterous spot to meet up for a glass of arak or wine, and a quintessential Montreal experience in the summertime, when tables spill onto their streetside patio. Reservations can be tough, especially on the weekends, so if you can't get a spot—or prefer something more quiet—consider Alep, their fancier sister spot next door with a virtually identical menu." - ivy lerner frank
