Chez Téta emerges from reviews as a warm, welcoming Lebanese spot with a casual, lively vibe and a strong emphasis on house made bread, fresh ingredients, and generous hospitality. Diners rhapsodize about the manoucheh varieties, dips, fattoush, hummus, and wraps, plus standout beverages like cardamom latte and rose latte, with sfouf and pistachio rose cakes cited as memorable finishes. The food is frequently described as flavorful, authentic, and comforting, with many noting that the flavors remind them of home and that the portions are satisfying for the price. The ambiance is described as cozy and inviting, sometimes bustling, with a terrace in summer and a buzz that can make the place feel busy, yet staff are repeatedly praised for friendliness, attentiveness, and quick service on large orders. A few reservations appear about peak times, where wait times and occasional mix ups can occur, and one or two mentions of limited seating or noise. Overall the consensus is that Chez Téta delivers a remarkable Lebanese dining experience in Montreal, with reliable quality, memorable desserts, and a sense of being part of a family run neighborhood gem.
I've been coming here for a few years & have always appreciated the excellent food, espresso & service. Today we came as a group of 5 including a couple with an infant for brunch. Within 40 minutes we were made to feel rushed by the staff who asked twice if we were done despite someone clearly still eating their manakeesh (more than half the dish was still on the plate & they were attending to a crying infant). I completely understand the need to ensure tables are turned over in a timely fashion on a busy weekend, however this felt aggressive & unfortunately ruined our experience. As such I don't see myself returning on a weekend nor recommending this place for brunch.
A great spot for a Lebanese brunch in Plateau! The ambiance is warm & inviting, perfect for a relaxed weekend meal. We tried the manouche aux oeufs, dôme de téta, & the halloumi wrap. The wrap had quite a bit of pesto, but overall, everything was fresh & flavorful. Definitely worth a visit!

Téta 💚
Un gros coup de coeur depuis leur arrivée dans le quartier.
La nourriture est excellente & le personnel est tout simplement adorable. Leurs boissons sont géniales (mention spéciale au latté à
la halva & à celui à la cardamome).
C'est un lieu parfait autant pour le lunch, le brunch, le petit déjeuner ou une pause café.
Ils ont une super terrasse l'été mais l'intérieur du café est géniale aussi donc on adore y aller toutes saisons confondues.
Ca marche aussi très bien en take out.
Accessible en poussette.
Le SEUL aspect'négatif' : ils sont victimes de leur succès 🥰 (n'y allez pas à midi le weekend si vous n'aimez pas attendre).
Mélodie was so hospitable & made us feel at home! We were a large group & she kept coming to check in on us. The food was absolutely fantastic - took me back to my trip to Lebanon! We came here for our wedding brunch & it was the best choice ever! If you want a taste of Lebanon you have to go to Chez Téta!
Best brunch , best manaeich everrrr !!
Fun fact : My boyfriend est libanais & we had our first date ( 2 years ago ) in this wonderful place & now we come every year ( not counting the other brunchs ) to celebrate our anniversary & we order the same thing ♥?
For the past two years you guys never disappoint & you are maintaining your quality witch is always hard in this industry 🙏🏻
Good bless !
Keep up the great work ✨
Quel délice! Mon nouvel endroit préféré de brunch! Nous sommes allés un vendredi vers 11h (nous savons que la fin de semaine c'est plein, donc on préfère venir lorsqu'on ne travaille pas un jour dans la semaine). Endroit simple & propre. Service assez rapide. Nourriture délicieuse. J'ai adoré le latte à la halva! & que dire de la man'ouché zaatar. Merci, nous reviendrons souvent!
This spot serves classic Lebanese breakfast/brunch/lunch options & they're executed very, very well. Incredibly busy, but worth it. Very reasonable prices too.
We ordered a halva brownie & caffeinated drinks & we were blown away at how everything was. The brownie is definitely a must try. Looking to go back & trying their brunch items as well as their other sweets they have on display by the register. Definitely stop by if you're in the area!

Cutest little spot at a great location. Super cute place to grab a brunch & either sit in or takeout. I find the vibe kinda loud/busy/slightly chaotic but in the best way - it really does make you feel like you're cozy at your teta's on a sunday. The manouche is delicious, one of the best in Montreal for sure! & the service is great, everyone is super kind. A must try on the plateau
Went there for brunch around 10am, we didn't have to wait for a table for 2 but when we left around 11:30am there was a line so if you come a bit late you might have to wait to be seated. The atmosphere is super convivial & the staff are friendly. The menu is not huge, but there's some good options, we got the sfouf cake (vegan), the zaatar manaeesh & the cardamom latte with oat milk. Recommend :)
