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
Ça fait 3 ans que mon conjoint & moi venons à l' occasion dans ce café. Tout est toujours excellent! Autant les manouchés que les boissons 10/10 à chaque fois!

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
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.
Absolutely fantastic food. Had the fattouche & the Manouche, DELICUOUS!!! Lovely light meal, but still very filling & sensational flavours. Absolutely recommended!
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

Really like this cafe! Atmosphere is so good & their manouchés are different & delicious. The makdous labné one is so good, hope it becomes permanent on the menu. Amazing lattes. Also a big plus: super baby friendly!
This place is always full & theres a reason why. The BEST Manoucheh ever. Very quick service if you want to grab something to go! When im in the neughbourhood I can't help but stop by.
It's not my first time at Chez Téta in the Plateau, but this time I tried their new manouché, labneh with fresh tomatoes & makdous (eggplants with walnuts & spices)& it was absolutely amazing! It's not on the menu, they're offering it just for this month as a trial, & honestly, it's a big success. The mix of creamy labneh & the crunchiness of the eggplants makes this manoucheh really special. As always, I had my favorite, the cardamom latte. The service was great, the staff super friendly, & we didn't wait long. Overall, another lovely experience at Chez Téta.
Tried their new manouché du mois (labné & makdous) & it's a MUST TRY!! All the flavors combined in it - heaven! A taste that reminds me of home.
The service is one of the best in Montreal. The owner came to check if all is good.

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!
Café de quartier qui mérite un arrêt pour un diner. Plusieurs mets simple qui nous emmènent au Liban. Le personnel est sympathique quoique moins attentionné lorsque le café est rempli. Le service est rapide . Demandez des suggestions maison on vous guidera . Je vous recommande les manouches maison typique libanaise. Le gros four dans la cuisine est directement importé du Liban . On doit essaye
This place gets super busy & honestly after trying it I can see why. Chez Teta features a menu that is just the right size with some truly quality items of Lebanese cuisine. I was so thrilled to finally get a seat here that I overdid it & ordered two manouches for myself - but no regret as they were both amazing. I got the falafel & chicken+cheese, with preference to the second. The bread used is so fresh & soft & all the toppings are of high quality as well. Service was a bit scrambled at times, the hostess initially missed me while I was waiting but fortunately the bossman pointed me out for her to serve. There was also some miscommunication when I paid where I was left awkwardly waiting for my change for some time. But otherwise all the interactions were warm, they are trying their best with the high demand for sure. The interior is nicely decorated, the atmosphere holds despite the bustling crowds.

Excellente ambiance, excellent service & excellents cafés & nourriture. Le latté avoine à la cardamome, la limonade maison & la manouche furent délicieux. Il y a tant d'autres choses du menu à essayer. Nous reviendrons assurément. Merci !
