After walking around Marche Jean Talon we asked a woman in a cookbook store located in the market a good place to have lunch and she recommended this place. Another woman nearby overheard and agreed so off we went. When we got to what we thought was the restaurant it was closed being it was a Sunday. Confused we kept walking to find a new place and came across Le Petit Alep a few feet away which was open. We hurriedly went in to escape the cold.
The menu is in French and we had a difficult time trying to decipher things so the host brought us Restaurant Alep's fancy menu book since it has English translations. I got the chiche kabab plate which comes with salad, pita but not your regular pita drizzled with an orange oil. The meat was perfectly seasoned and tender. It was so good. I want to go back but in a warmer month.
