Byblos
This Iranian café does such good food and is so comfortable and charming, people who come here tend to make a day of it. The big windows and tables invite lingering. Iranian-style tapas include the feta omelette (by far the most popular) and eggplant or chick pea purées. It's all served with pita bread perfect for dipping. The expertly prepared mint tea (around C$3 cup), is the perfect way to finish it all off.

Le Petit Alep
The complex flavors of Syrian-Armenian cuisine draw clientèle from all over Montréal. There's hummus, salads and muhammara (spread made of walnuts, garlic, bread crumbs, pomegranate syrup and cumin) and even the beef kebabs are an adventure, smothered in tahini, spices and nuts. You can either eat 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.

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.
