Filet-mignon with a special spicy sauce - Chiche Kebab Terbialy (this is how they spell it). Shish Kebab is a more common spelling.

This is one of the best foods available in Montreal. The pita bread with the fantastic spicy sauce, goes very well with the beef kebabs. The salad is somewhat bitter - not sure if I like it - but it is certainly a good contrast to the beef and the spicy bread. Rice and vermicelli mixture on the side helps balance the spiciness. All-in-all, a perfect dish. Correctly portioned too, just the right size for lunch.

Some days this soup is available, soupe harrira. Rice, chick-peas, beef. I think the taste varies - it was quite spicy once, and then it was more lemony another time.

The water in the green wine-bottle is a nice touch at Le Petit Alep. Get one as soon as you sit down, and it is such a nice thing - especially today when many restaurants seem to be getting away from serving plain water.

The left side wall has been removed and a new extension added. Now the Petit Alep area has doubled. [2009].

Full view of both the restuarants - the fun, cheery Le Petit Alep - open all day, and the table-cloth, dinner only, Alep Restaurant. The entrance to Le Petit Alep is the black door on the left-side of the picture, while the castle-like right-side shows the entrance to the main Alep Restaurant.

This picture was taken in 2006. Le Petit Alep expanded in Summer of 2008, it now includes the area to the left of the picture that shows the red neon sign. So, it is much larger inside.

This is the main restaurant, open for dinner only.
