Le Palais Libanais - Gatineau

Palais Libanais is one of my favorite restaurants for their Chicken Plates. If anyone has had Shawarma Palace in Ottawa, then you can expect the same portion size (very ample), quality, and taste. Delicious!My favorites are the Chicken or Mixed (Chicken and Beef) Plates. Each come with humus, rice (white and/or yellow), fried seasoned potatoes, fatoush salad, garlic sauce, and 2 pita breads. The portion size will usually feed myself and my wife, but a man with a huge appetite might be able to finish it, but I can't finish one on my own.If you get the beef, ask for it lebanese style and they grill it with a very flavourful parsley mixture that really takes the taste up a notch. And adding tahini sauce to the beef or chicken can be tasty too, if you are a fan.There are quite a few other options. Kebabs you have to wait a while for simce the meat isn't already cooking on the rotisserie like the chicken and beef shawarma.Shawarma sandwiches are also very tasty.They also have oil or creamy salad dressing for the fatoush salad. Try them both out, and decide which you like best. I prefer the creamy one, but both are always good.Also be sure to load out with all the toppings. The pickled turnips are a must, even if you aren't a fan of turnips. Trust me, the shawarma flavour profile goes up to 11 with turnips and pickles added to the mix.I've eaten at at least 30-40 different Shawarma restaurants in Canada and abroad, and Palais Libanais is in my top 3 favorites.Enjoy!

The food at this restaurant is tasty, but I was disappointed when I ordered the family plate for 4-5 people and was asked to leave because I couldn't eat it there. It seemed odd that they would treat their customers that way. Additionally, I was charged extra for spicy garlic sauce when I ordered the family platter, whereas it would have been included with a normal sandwich or platter. Overall, I was not happy with the way I was treated as a customer and found it cheap of them to charge extra for something that should have been included.

This is the best shawarma in Canada!!! I’ve been having it since 2016 and although I’ve left town, anytime I visit I go to this place. The staff is very nice as well.The food is tasty, fresh with amazing portion size!

Usually they are good but the last 2 times I went their chicken was dry...I will stick to Schwarma Palace from now on.Update: Decided to give them another try and the same thing, chicken was dry. I really don 't understand how they get all the hype .

The chicken and beef sandwiches at this restaurant are among the best in Gatineau, if not the best. I give it two thumbs up! ??
