"There are almost no Lebanese restaurants in Mile End — perhaps because Aux Lilas has been quietly excelling at that game for almost 40 years, with crispy kibbeh, herby tabbouleh, and silky smooth dips." - Ian Harrison, Joanna Fox, Tim Forster

"Mile End Lebanese restaurant Aux Lilas may be small, but it holds its own among the surrounding dining options through a blend of history and charisma. It’s been on Parc Avenue since 1980, founded by chef-owner Christine Farhood, and takes particular pride in providing a warm welcome, tasteful music, and a well-curated list of Lebanese wines. Oh, and its website even includes a few recipes." - Karin Murray-Bergquist

Cozy little place with homey food. The salads were exceptionally fresh and crunchy. What really stood out for me were the baba ghanoush and hummus dip. Will definitely return to try other dishes! Their menu says that they've been in business since 1980, but the owner confirmed with us that it's actually since 1978!

What an amazing experience with Lebanese food. It was my first time ever trying. We got the royal tazka set which was plenty of food. Plus there were three bags of pita that came with. Everything was so amazing especially the yogurt. It's perfectly made into this soft texture. 100% recommend. Doesn't seem to get too busy.

You don't feel like being in a restaurant, but like you are dining in somebody's home who is a great cook.

The best Lebanese restaurant in Montréal. Authentic fine cuisine. Moved to New Brunswick from Montréal and always return to dine whenever we return to visit.

The most amazing authentic Lebanese food we've had. Family run operation, so service is a bit slow but the food more than makes up for it. Every dish we got was just delicious, the flavors were so fresh.

First impressions: cosy and family-owned, authentic. We experienced very customized and attentive service by the owner who patiently answered our questions and offered great suggestions. We had the vegetarian mezze and all the dishes were super tasty (especially the falafels and the baba ganouj). For dessert, we had a custard with pistachio and rose water: it was amazing, very flavourful and not too sweet (and imagine our delight when we found out it was on the house, wow!) Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious food with that home-made Middle Eastern taste. The server/owner was very gracious and helpful and made us feel very welcome. The Fattoush salad had wonderful dressing, and both humus and baba ghanouj were delicious. Fried cheese (sanbousek?) was divine, and the Chicken Lilas very tasty was well. Both the desert, a kind of pudding and baklava, were 10 out of 10. Don't miss this neighborhood gem that is small and cosy, very clean and inviting, and very reasonable prices as well.
