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.
Une merveilleuse découverte ce matin ! Le latté Halva est wow, le manouche aux falafels & la babaganoush nous ont impressionné par leur saveur & leur fraîcheur ! 10/10
This place doesn't take reservations... So you show up & wait for your turn to be seated. Friendly staff but very limited places available. Good food quality though a little bit pricey... I recommend Halloumi bacon... alson hummos & muhammara were very tasty (ask for freshly made hot bread with it). desserts are limited & tend to sell out very fast... We end up eating the Nutella Halva manoucheh, the only available option... But I don't recommend it as it was overcooked & more like a dried Nutella pie.

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).
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.
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!
Ce café est excellent. J'ai eu le manouché au kefta & fromage, le latte à la halva, le hoummous & le brownie à la halva. Tout était très délicieux ! Le service était efficace & chaleureux. Une très bonne expérience !

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!
So glad we came here! Loved the half cheese/half falafel with tomatoes & falafel but the biggest hit was the hummus!! Also really enjoyed the halva latte - not too sweet - & it went nicely with the halva brownie.
The service was great, very friendly & informative. The food was outstanding! So full of flavour & perfectly prepared. We got the halva latte & cardamom ice coffee as well. Both coffees were delicious & you could clearly pick up cardamom spice & slightly bitter, sweet & creamy halva in both, respectively. All around awesome experience eating here.
Delicious manoucheh, babaganouj & beet salad. The halva & rose lattes were also very tasty & original. The service is very friendly & efficient. Busy spot so come early or be prepared to wait. Worth the wait 100%.
One of my favorite places to eat in the city. The mana'eesh are freshly made in their traditional oven. Love the lahem bi ajin, the seasoning on the meat is perfect (one of the best I've had & comparable to Lebanon). The classic zaatar is great with vegetable toppings. Love their lattes with a middle eastern twist (halva, rose). Perfect light healthy breakfast to start the day

I took a manoushé for takeout, so I can't say about dine in experience. However, I have eaten an unspeakable amount of manoushé in Montreal, & I can confirm this to be a top choice. The labneh is simply incredible, you'll want to bathe in it. If you're lucky, get their halva brownie & go straight to heaven. Trust.
Delicious falafel manoucheh as well as the chicken & cheese one. Lovely lunch spot with the cutest decor & vibe. Everyone should try the halva latte at least once!
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.
Excellent Lebanese cafe... great atmosphere for eating in, although I usually get a bunch of dips & manouche to take home. Friendly staff & really nice coffees, some with a Lebanese twist: cardamom lattes & coffee, halvah lattes, etc. Reliably good & reliably packed, but it usually doesn't take too long to be served.
