Opening of Folfol | The Press

We’ve been waiting for it for a while, the Damascus take-out counter. During the long long months of closure of the past two years, the entire large restaurant has been transformed into a small factory at ” takeout », with its legendary mezes and its inimitable fattoush salad, its succulent lamb dumplings, its grilled meats, its fish and its other emblematic dishes.

Now, we go to Folfol, directly opposite, for takeaway meals, large and small, which do not all reproduce exactly those of Damascus, despite several cross-checks.

Added to this is a nice selection of beefy sandwiches: the usual shish taouk, shawarma and falafel, but like you’ve never tasted them, then a Damascus cheeseburger with sujok spices. For the summer, we can expect the offer of sandwiches to increase to a dozen varieties.

The prices are high, but the portions generous. In a few years, several other Folfol branches should open in Montreal and/or the surrounding area.

For now, Folfol is open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. So don’t bump your nose into it at lunchtime! In the near future, the doors will open earlier.
