The fatteh with crispy pita & toasted nuts was a winner, but honestly the highlight of my night was just me. If you are a cute guy with good taste, leave a note here & maybe we can compare notes over a drink. You will not regret it.

Absolutely amazing authentic Lebanese breakfast!

The fatteh & fool were flavorful, fresh, & perfectly prepared, & the zaatar cheese man2oushe was delicious with the perfect balance of crispy dough & flavor.
Everything tasted homemade & authentic.

On top of the excellent food, the staff were so friendly & welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. If you're looking for a true Lebanese breakfast experience, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

This place has been there since almost two years now. Cute setup. Not a lot places to sit but on Sunday they have someone playing oud & last time we went we got lucky with a singer who was having brunch & went on to sing a few songs
We did many times takeout before but it was our first eating there.
I recommend the classics:
Manakich cheese & half half with zaatar
The classic foul is really well done
Tried two Fatteh one with tahini & one with Laban
Tried the Msabaha as well as omelette
Nice brunch place with family

Very good place, clean & good service & quick. But the fatteh although tasty, needed more cumin, lemon & garlic. Lack a little more flavor. Cheese manoushe was very good. Overall decent restaurant but im a fan of fatteh so I'd eat it somewhere else especially its the same price at other places we know of but the rest was very good.

Excellent déjeuner méditerranéen à Laval! Les prix sont un peu au-dessus de la moyenne, mais il en va de même pour la qualité des ingrédients. En plus, le pain, les légumes & le thé sont inclus.

Je recommande le fatteh à la viande : un bon déjeuner bien complet, & une portion généreuse, parfaite pour partager!
