Overall, Café Chez Téta is celebrated for fresh Lebanese flavors, warm hospitality, and a welcoming vibe that feels like a home away from home. Reviews highlight handmade manouche, hummus, dips, and the cardamom or rose latte options, as well as fresh bread and house made pastries. While the atmosphere is praised as cozy with a bright terrace, a few notes mention busy weekend crowds causing short waits and occasional service gaps, and some delivery experiences were not perfect. Many describe it as one of Montreal's top Lebanese spots, great for brunch, lunch, or coffee, with popular items selling out and reservations not available, so plan accordingly.
Manouchehs:
- Half cheese half zaatar with cucumber tomato mint: 10/10
- Kafta cheese aïoli tomatoe: 10/10
- Teta's Falafel: 8/10
- Teta's Halloumi: 7/10 (the pesto is a bit sour for my taste & not pesto-y enough)
- Teta's Kafta: 6/10
The combo (Teta's platter) makes it way too much food for one person imo. Better to share it between 2 people. The salad dressing is a bit sour so I ask for it on the side.
Lattes:
- Halva latte: 100/10 literally best latte I've ever had in my life
- Cardamon latte: 8/10
I lunched with my gf today, we are lucky that a place like Café chez Téta exists, to be able to export & make known to all people & nations the best tastes of Lebanese cuisine , they even add some twists of fusion to it, halloumi bacon, Rose water arak, etc
All the past years I drank arak. I never had a Rose water Arak before & it was a very very good drink to have. Vive le Liban ! Vive la générosité Libanaise !
Addendum :
What a great welcoming staff Mélodie the owner is a sweet & charming host, I recommend to all lovers of good vibes, good quality of food & unforgetful tastes !
The Lebanese breakfast here is truly authentic & delicious-a real standout. However, the hospitality & courtesy from the hostess on Sunday definitely has room for improvement. Our waitress was great, she seemed to be the only one handling her stress with grace.

This place is outstanding in every way possible. The food is exquisite, the service is above & beyond & the atmosphere so pleasant. The owner is there every single day, making sure everything runs to perfection. True dedication. This is a true gem in Montreal 💚
Les mots ne suffisent pas pour expliquer à quel point nous avons été satisfaites par la qualité de la nourriture, mais encore plus par le service reçu par les propriétaires & l'équipe. Nous avons eu le privilège de retenir les services traiteur de Café chez Téta pour une réunion d'équipe (douzaine de participantes). La nourriture était chaude & FRAÎCHE. Ce fut un franc succès, nous avons partagé leur adresse avec tout le monde. Toutes étaient ravies de rapporter les restes, car la quantité fournie était au-delà de nos attentes. Franchement & en toute sincérité, Café chez Téta est un choix sûr, & ce, même si vous n'êtes pas familier avec la cuisine libanaise. Encore merci à toute l'équipe d'avoir contribué si positivement à notre évènement. Nous avons déjà hâte à la prochaine fois. :)
I am actually disappointed seeing the reviews before going to that place.
1: It is not kids friendly. A kids friendly place would provide some crayons & coloring books for kids..
2. Toilet is mixed (men & women) & no baby changing station.
3. Food is tasteless. Being a mystery shopper myself,I tried those: teta kafta, teta falafel, chicken special, man'ouche mixed & 5 cheese man'ouche ( I doubt there are even 2). They don't taste good.
4. Service is great, the waitress was super friendly & helpful
5. Reservations are not allowed. First come, first serve basis.
Service is very slow, the labneh is (weirdly) served without olive oil & without bread, which is not the way it should be. I did not even get utensils, not a single fork with my plate, had to get up, find a waiter & ask for one. & my friend got sick after eating the meat manouché there...

Thank you Mélodie! Lovely spot for brunch. We came for brunch & enjoyed sharing a few dishes, everything was fresh, flavorful, & perfect for the table. Great Lebanese coffee & a warm atmosphere make it a place we'd definitely recommend.
This is average Mediterranean food in Montreal, & extremely low quality compared to restos in Lebanon. Not only that, it is EXTREMELY expensive. There are better places to go in town.
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

Oui le café est bon, mais le personnel c'est autre chose. J'ai été mise à la porte car c'était « une période de rush ». Cela faisait à peine 30 minutes que j'étais installée & que je travaillais sur mon ordinateur. Mon café n'était même pas fini. Experience client 0!! Le ton du personnel était passif agressif.
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
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!
Délicieux, tout simplement. Tout goûte l'amour, la fraîcheur & la vie! Je recommande vivement.
Le café libanais est délicieux & servi dans une tasse mignonne comme tout!
