Sumac is a trendy Middle Eastern gem in St. Henri, serving up fresh, flavorful Lebanese dishes like shawarma and falafel in a lively setting.
"This reliable counter-service restaurant delivers some of Montreal’s very best shawarma, falafel, chicken, and beef kofta. Copious platters fill the menu, which also features some seriously delectable spreads (hummus, baba ghanoush, muhammara, labneh) and salads (spicy carrots, green cabbage, salade cuite).

"Bringing next-level Middle Eastern cuisine to Saint-Henri, diners at Sumac can delight in its broad menu – pita with hummus or baba ghanoush, salads, and savoury sandwiches like the sabbich (pita sandwich stuffed with fried eggplant, hard boiled eggs, and chopped salad), falafel, and chicken shawarma. Pro-tip: Order extra zhug and pita." - Daniel Bromberg, Eater Staff
"Sumac’s regular menu offers a collection of suitable-for-Passover foods, but more will be added for the occasion, including an eggplant salad and additional vegetable dips. Keep on the lookout for several varieties of chocolate-covered matzo — always a hit." - Ivy Lerner-Frank
"Sumac’s pitas and plates of chicken shawarma, beef kefta, and falafel are great bets, but you won’t regret padding that with some of their standout dips, salads, and sides. The garlicky, feta-topped labneh, hummus fries, and gorgeous muhammara are highly recommended." - Daniel Bromberg, Valerie Silva
