Birona Cuisine Méditerranéenne

Came for the hummus. Got a brunch feast instead. Everything was AMAZING. So many flavours. Best falafel in town, hands down. Shakshuka was delicious. Grilled tomatoes with balsamic and goat cheese were heavenly. We ate like queens. Service was great. Can't wait to go back.

Good hummus bar in montreal in a great decor and a generally good ambiance. The menus (they have 2 sets) is a bit confusing and requires explanation. We ordered the hummus tasting and though it was generally good, some choices were amazing (falafel hummus) while other were ok (Iraqi hummus). We also tried the couscous which was very tasty. Quite a few of the tapas on the menu were not available that day which was dissapointing particularly as it was not mentioned beforehand by the staff. The food took quite a bit of time to arrive (30 min) which was a bit surprising. The portions, although they seemed small for the price were quite filling.The staff is nice but lacks a bit in experience and seems a slightly confused. As for the chef he was quite present in the room but busy talking to "les habitués" so unfortunately we could not get a sense of his passion for food unlike what other reviews mention. All that said the menu is interesting enough that I would visit again to try other items.

Birona is located in the Mile-End (so great place to have a drink after), among other great restaurants. Ballsy move, but they measure up quite nicely. The decor is tasteful, but unpretentious. They have private as well as communal tables. If you go for brunch, I highly recommend the vegetarian. Plates of beautiful and delicious dishes will line up in an overwhelming, yet exhilarating way. Of course, the hummus is great, but don’t let the « hummus bar » nomenclature stop you. It’s much more than that, and it’s some of the best and comforting food I can think of. Its Mediterranean dishes are simple yet bold and packed with flavours. For those who easily feel intimidated by unfamiliar food, I simply recommend you to let Alon, chef and owner of the restaurant, to take charge of your orders. Really, I couldn’t recommend it more.

We went here to try a new place and share an appetizer. The cocktails were good (~$13each). We shared a Moroccan hummus dish with warm pita and salad....(~18$) OMG it was SO good! Will definetly come bk.

The presentation is very attractive. The toppings are interesting. The service is attentive. I'm giving it only three stars because I found it to be very overpriced and the hummus is missing a flavor. $25 for three dollops of hummus is unjustifiable. As for th hummus, it might be the right flavor for you, but in my opinion, the hummus base could be much more tangy and creamy. Kudos though for the attention and cleanliness and lovely decor.

Really tasty choices with generous portions. All the dishes had great presentation and the design was clean and airy. Overall great mile-end place

Unbelievably good food! If you like hummus you have to go. Nice atmosphere as well.

Very cute place, good food, a bit on the pricey side for humus
