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.
Chez Teta was a 10/10 experience.
From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. They took their time explaining the menu & sharing their recommendations with genuine smiles, never making us feel rushed - yet everything came out so quickly. It's rare to have that balance of attentive service & efficient turnaround, especially with a large order.
You can really feel their Lebanese culture in the way they host - warm, generous, & sincere. We truly felt like family. While we were waiting for our big order, they even served us coffee on the house, which was such a thoughtful & appreciated gesture.
& the desserts are a must. Everything is made in-house & absolutely delicious. The sesame sponge cake is light & unique, & the pistachio rose cake is perfectly balanced & full of flavor.
Exceptional hospitality, fast service, & incredible food. We'll definitely be back!!
We arrived here for lunch on Saturday afternoon, it was quite packed but we were able to get seated in 15 mins.
The waiters/host were very welcoming & friendly
I ordered lahm bi ajin, zatar bread, falafel roll, coffee, hummus, cardamom latte & rose+pistachio cake... Everything tasted very fresh & yummmmy!!

Je suis allée avec mon club de course & j'ai adoré l'expérience. J'ai goûté au latte ainsi qu'au cake, les deux étaient délicieux. J'ai déjà très hâte de revenir pour le lunch, le menu avait l'air absolument incroyable!
Such a peaceful & welcoming place , perfectly balanced manouché with cheese & zaatar. The rose latte & the pistachio-rose cake were the sweetest finishing touch. Chez Téta truly transports you with its flavors. I'll absolutely be returning!
Un endroit calme & tellement chaleureux… parfait pour savourer une manouché légère, moitié fromage moitié zaatar, un latté à la rose & un gâteau pistache-rose. Chez Téta, on voyage à travers chaque bouchée. J'y retournerai sans hésiter
🙏
I have tried their Zaatar, always with labneh, which is my favorite & one of the best Zaatar in Montreal! Sit, eat, then, drink their tasteful coffee with either Sfout or Rose & Pistachio cake. They melted in your mouth, can't forget their taste.
This time, I tried their beautifully designed Rose latte. I truly recommended, even you are not a fan of a taste of Rose, like myself.
Amazing place for take-out or sit down. The staff is fun & lively. The food is just incredible. Every bite I take is bliss. They know what they're doing !
One thing I wasn't fond of was the rose latte. Very very bitter, it needed a lot of sugar. The cakes, on the other hand, are all incredible.
Fair prices all around. Highly recommend !!

Halva latte: I loved this. It was made really well -- not overly milky, not overly sweet, the rose/saffron/pistachio flavors really came through, as did the espresso.
Sfouf cake: I loved the flavors of this cake, it was nutty & really fragrant. The cake was very moist & not overly sweet. The turmeric is very strong though, it dried out my mouth.
Highly recommend the drinks & pastries here. Chez Tata really delivers on the flavors. Service was wonderful also. I had so many questions about the pastries displayed & the barista took the time to go through all of them & let me know what they were in detail.
I took the Rose & Pistache cake & it was sooooo amazing!!! I didn't want to finish it! I also had the chicken & cheese Manoucheh & it's sooooo good too!
Everything we ordered was amazing! The flavors were subtle yet delicious. The staff was friendly & were happy to recommend dishes to us. Classic Arak & Mulberry Arak Cocktail: This was our first time trying Arak & we loved the mulberry cocktail. Rose & Pistachio cake was moist, crumbly & light. Baba Ghanouj & Teta's Falafel Manoucheh were amazing.
We ordered a half cheese & half zaatar manoucheh with added cucumbers & a rose & pistachio cake for takeout. The freshly baked flatbread was terrific, & the manoucheh was delicious. We also loved the rose & pistachio cake. If you plan to dine in, there's only one toilet for the whole restaurant. You order the food inside & wait for the food order outside. We highly recommend this place.

Finally dined in this restaurant after getting take out twice! It gets really busy & I get the hype! Food is delicious & so tasty & fresh. Loved all the manusches we got. The rose pistachio cake was the best part of this meal! Highly recommend!
We recently discovered the address & we felt in love with it ! The food is amazing & the rose coffee was excellent. The ambiance is very cozy & we would probably come back. Only ick, we were a bit disappointed by the size of the rose & pistachios cake slice for its price (~5$)
This place is always full & I visited four times already in the last month! Service is fast & everything I've had so far really hits the spot. I especially love the cardammon latte & pistachio & rose cake. If you're craving authentic Lebanese cuisine (& coffee), this is the place.
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 :)
Absolutely recommend the chicken/cheese manouché, it's very similar to a shawarma but unique enough to be worth the trip ! Definitly try the rose & pistachio cake 🩷. The only items that dissapointed me a little were the halva & cardamom lattes which were good but both lacked their respective tastes, but this is still definitely a cafe you should come try ❤️!
Cozy & very clean. Such great service. The Lebanese coffee with cardamom was everything my nostalgia wanted it to be. The rose & cardamom cake was as well. The Halva latte was so well balanced. If you don't know if you want sweet or savoury, As a snack, lunch, even breakfast, anything; The muhammara is the answer to all of those haha A must try. Everything is so flavourful I'm a fan of rose, especially here it's very every pallette friendly. Its delicate & floral & very present without being overwhelming or soapy. There's even a little section of specialty groceries, like pomegranate melasses etc that you pick up too. Will gladly come back anytime I'm in the city. Thanks for keeping memories alive through remembered foods.
