The 38 Best Restaurants in Montreal, Canada | Eater

"Steeped in memories of co-owner Antoun Aoun’s own teta (grandmother), Café Chez Téta brings Lebanese food traditions to Montreal’s bustling cafe scene. The room is sparse and airy with concrete flooring and white walls, walnut furniture, lots of natural light, and a traditional gas-fired red brick oven imported from Lebanon. This popular Plateau spot keeps things simple and straightforward, with fattoush salad, dips like labneh and baba ghanoush, and made-to-order manouché flatbreads topped with za’atar, minced meats, cheese, and more. Finish with a slice of turmeric cake, a halva latte, or a cardamom coffee served in traditional red, green, and white Lebanese cups. Make space on the table for some “tawlet zaher,” a board game similar to backgammon that’s played on the streets of Lebanon. Teta would approve. Know before you go: The café is packed on weekends, so consider stopping mid-week instead." - Valerie Silva

The Best Restaurants of Montreal’s Plateau | Eater Montreal

"A Plateau newcomer and 2021 Eater Award winner, this café’s name honours its founder’s “téta” (“grandmother” in Lebanese.) A simple formula of Lebanese salads, dips, and piping hot manouché flatbreads with spiced meat, za’atar, cheese, and more has proven to do the trick, especially when followed by a hot cardamom or halva latte and a slice of sfouf (turmeric cake)." - Joel Balsam

A true gem of modern Lebanese cuisine! Everything here is incredibly fresh, with a creative fusion twist that still honors traditional flavors. The menu offers a great variety of dishes each one more delicious than the last. Just a heads-up: don’t come too late, as the most popular items tend to sell out quickly (a good sign, really!). The team is warm and welcoming, adding to the charm of the experience. The only small downside was that it felt a bit warm inside, but the amazing food and hospitality more than made up for it. Lovely coffees! Highly recommend!

Greta authentic Lebanese food. There was a bit of a wait when we got there but the staff were friendly and accommodating. They have indoor and patio seating. I would definitely recommend it!

We were craving a good Lebanese breakfast, and Café Chez Téta did not disappoint us! We had the lahm baajin, cheese kafta, and the egg with cheese man’oushe — all fresh, flavorful, and perfectly satisfying. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. It's definitely a spot we’ll come back to!

The vibes were immaculate!! The food was great and the service was seriously one of the best! My sister and I took our mother there for mother’s day and we enjoyed every minute. We were visiting from London, ON, and Chez Teta did not disappoint. Our server, Selina, was the sweetest and most energetic person!! She truly made the world experience that much nicer for us ❤️ The owner was amazing as well, she was very sweet and welcoming! The service was top notch even though it was very busy. Everything was smooth from taking our names and number for the waitlist to ordering and getting our order. The patio in the back where we sat was so cute especially with the beautiful weather. Couldn’t be happier about our experience there.

Ordered with delivery, was missing items for sure, and driver was a half hour late due to construction detours apparently. Food not as elegant as shown. Wanted to specify toppings on the side for specific sandwiches but not an option in the delivery system menu. Food was good, but more effort is needed to be worth these prices.

OMG! How I wish I lived in Montreal just to taste this every other dayyyy… we tried good amount of food and not even a single plate was short of perfection! Service was super fast and good and we had a wholesome chat with the owner before we left! The interior was also cozy and beautiful specially on this snowy day! We tried the half cheese half zaatar Mankousheh, the bacon and halloumi, and the Lahm Ajin, the labneh dip, rose latte, and cappucino. All tasty🫠 I wish I could come back for more tomorrow!

This cafe is incredible! The tabouleh salad was so sour and fresh and I loved every bite. The cardamom latte was maybe the best latte I've ever had lol. Highly recommended for excellent quality food and good vibes.

Food was normal, service was normal. I expected a bit more. The cardamom cold brew was nice though.

Came here with a Lebanese friend and some others, and ordered a wide variety of manouchehs - some meat and some vegetarian, some more simple and some more put together. Everything was excellent - crisp, fresh, and awash in flavour. Definitely try their creative latte flavours as well!

We wanted coffee so decided to hop into Café Chez Téta for a stop. They specialize in Lebanese coffee and manoucheh. You'll find them across the street from SWIRL. We dropped in on a busy Wednesday afternoon (around 2:30pm). Interesting that it's a laptop free environment on the weekends (starting at 11:00am). The inside is spacious, well designed and beautifully decorated. Food menu consists of manoucheh, dips, salads and Teta's cakes. The manoucheh is cooked in an oven imported straight from Lebanon. The coffee beans are from Structure Coffee Roasters. - Latte à la cardamome (+glace) ($5.00) - one of their signature coffee drinks. The cardamom iced latte was well balanced and smooth. Perfect on a hot, humid summery day. Would come back to CCT to try their zaatar manoucheh and more drinks.

What an amazing little café this place is! We were greeted by the owner, Mélodie who was very welcoming and informed us about the place, the history behind it, etc. The chairs and tables are wooden and give a rustic vibe We ordered one manouché zaatar, one manouché cheese, manouché lahem b ajin, manouché kafta and one manouché zaatar and cheese. Everything is made with the traditional oven and tastes like the ones I used to buy in Lebanon! The service is very fast, despite the place being very busy with delivery orders, etc. We also ordered one coffee and an espresso, which were also delicious. The price is a bit high compared to other places who sell the same products, but for the quality of the ingredients, the generosity and the whole vibe of the place, it is totally worth it!

This lovely family run cafe opened not long ago in the heart of Plateau. Their specialty is Manouche and Lebanese coffee. Manouche is a typical Libanese Flat bread and they offer a variety of toppings. As for Lebanese coffee, this is similar to Turkish coffee with Cardamom and no milk. I had the opportunity to taste their delicious Zaatar manouche with a latte. The manouche was made on the spot in an oven (ordered from Lebanon) so it was fresh and very tasteful, so much better than buying them ready- made from grocery stores. Their latte was excellent using roasted coffee beans from Structure torréfacteur which is also part of the Th3rd wave community. Staff was very friendly and sweet! Overall great experience and I got a little taste of Lebanon on a nice snowy day :-) Check them out!

Love the vibe as soon as we enter the restaurant. I tried the Cardamom coffee with Pistachio Rose tea Cake. And service was quick too.

We discovered this cafe accidentally as we were looking for another place, and I'm so grateful. Initially I ordered an oat latte and two vegan cakes, one with turmeric and another with carob, then while I was waiting I was mesmerized by the chef's making flatbreads in a hot oven so we ordered some Manouche. I had the plain one, it was nice and warm right out the oven, rich from the sesame seeds and olive oil and zesty and tart from the sumac. It went perfect with my latte but I'm sure it would have been much better with their traditional espresso made on a bed of sizzling hot sand. Will definately try that next time, but I have to say this was perfect on a cold Montreal winter day!

It is absolutely the best manakish in town. Kudos to the team. Cant wait to taste the fattouch next time around.
