Le Petit Alep
The complex flavors of Syrian-Armenian cuisine draw diners from all over Montréal. A big menu includes hummus, salads and muhammara (spread made of walnuts, garlic, breadcrumbs, pomegranate syrup and cumin), plus beef kabobs smothered in tahini, spices and nuts. Dine in the bright bistro (the front wall opens up onto the street during nice weather) or, in the evening, the slightly swish dining room next door.

Byblos
This Iranian café does such good food and is so charming, people who come here tend to make a day of it. The big windows and tables invite lingering and though there are wonderful main courses, most people end up grazing on the Iranian tapaslike dishes all day and into the evening. The feta omelet is by far the most popular followed by the eggplant or chickpea purees. It’s all served with pita bread perfect for dipping. The mint tea is the perfect way to finish it all off.

Saffron
A vibrant mural of Persian ruins and bright blue sky dominates the dining room of this charming eatery, one of the newer Persian restaurants on the scene. The ash reshteh, a soup with pinto beans, veggies, garlic and mint is delicious. The most popular dinner choice is the hunters' platter for two with three types of brochettes, salad and rice. There's a lunch special for around C$7 and a take-out menu.
