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.
The service was amazing. Everyone was hospitable & kind. The food (manouche) was all very fresh & delicious & tasted like authentic Lebanese manakeesh. The coffee was strong which is just my preference & the cafe was really cozy
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!!
A really special place with really special people that work there. From the food, to the coffee, to the customer service, & the atmosphere, this place is very unique & makes its customers feel very special.
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.
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 & welcoming, adding to the charm of the experience. The only small downside was that it felt a bit warm inside, but the amazing food & hospitality more than made up for it. Lovely coffees! Highly recommend!
This place has an amazing vibes to connect with friends & a good place to grab a coffee & work on your laptop. Great customer service & I enjoyed my time & had a really awesome experience
A must visit cafe/restaurant in Montreal! The best food in the city by far! Such a great atmosphere, with amazing service, & exceptional food. My favorite is the Zataar Warp, Hummus plate, & Sfouf!! The coffee here is also amazing & you can't go wrong with anything you get. (It's so good I'm there once a week!) If you are ever in Montreal, make sure to go to Cafe Chez Teta; you won't regret it !!
