Reviews describe Chez mon grand père as a warm, authentic Lebanese breakfast and casual spot in Montreal where generous portions, fresh ingredients and traditional flavors shine. Dishes like manakish with cheese and zaatar, mixed maza or mezze including fatoush and tabbouleh, and fatah with chickpeas receive praise for texture, brightness and comfort, while sunny side up eggs with confit lamb elevate a morning meal into something gourmet. Pitas are repeatedly highlighted as a main event, with shish taouk and beef shawarma pitas delivering juicy meat, bold toum, and memorable sear. The in house bread and the family friendly, welcoming vibe are frequently noted, and the flavors are described as transporting diners to Lebanon, often at strong value for money given portions. Service is described as kind and accommodating in a cozy, vibrant atmosphere. A few reviews mention drawbacks such as inconsistent quality, occasional overpriced items, or a bathroom issue, but the overall impression remains that Chez mon grand père is a beloved, if imperfect, go to for authentic Lebanese breakfast and fare.
A Morning Feast at Chez Mon Grand-père @beitjeddi_mtl. ?If you're looking for a breakfast that feels like a warm hug from a Lebanese grandfather you never knew you had, Chez Mon Grand-père in Montreal is the spot. I'm calling it now: this was easily the best breakfast I've had in a long time. Every dish felt intentional, fresh, & deeply rooted in tradition.
?
?Mixed Maza & Fatoush Salad: We started with the Mixed Maza, which offered a perfect tour of textures & dips. Pairing it with the Fatoush Salad was a pro move the salad was crisp, bright, & had that essential sumac punch & crunch that clears the palate for the heavier hitters.
?Manakish (Cheese & Zaatar): You can't go to a place like this & skip the Manakish. The dough was pillowy & charred in all the right places. The earthy, herbal zaatar balanced perfectly against the salty, melty cheese.
?Fatteh with Meat: This was pure comfort food. The combination of warm chickpeas, creamy tahini-yogurt, & toasted pine nuts topped with savory meat is a texture play that they execute flawlessly here.
?Sunnyside Up Eggs with Confit Lamb: This dish is a game-changer. The eggs were perfectly runny, but the confit lamb stole the show-tender, rich, & meltingly soft. It turns a standard breakfast into a gourmet experience.
?The Real MVPs:
?I need to take a second to talk about the pitas, because they were spectacular. Often, sandwiches are an afterthought at breakfast, but here, they might be the main event.
?Shish Taouk Pita: The chicken was incredibly juicy & marinated to perfection. It wasn't just'good' it was the kind of pita you think about three days later. The garlic sauce (toum) was bold without being overwhelming.
?Beef Shawarma Pita: This was a masterclass in spice & sear. The beef was tender & packed with that signature deep flavor you only get from high-quality shawarma.
This place was such a hidden gem, when we went it was empty & honestly I don't understand why the food was out of this world! Go show them some love & visit please! It's worth the trip it's FOODGASMIC CERTIFIED 💦!

Nothing like the ad! People are friendly but the place is packed with tables, toilet didn't have tissue paper. The food has no taste. Ordered Mana2ish, fateh, tabbouleh. Oil used for Mana2ish was burned & it has too much spices. I believe it's overpriced for the poor quality of food.
Petite découverte aujourd'hui! Vraiment très bonne place avec un bon service dans une ambiance familiale ! Ça nous a fait voyager sans sortir du pays ! Nous avons tout aimé & les prix sont très raisonnable ! Si vous aimez la cuisine méditerranéenne ça vault le coup d'essayer :)
