Chez Wafi offers a different version of traditional baked goods with their authentic Lebanese pastries, such as, kaakeh; or rather, the Lebanese version of the well-known bagel. Open daily, it is the ideal spot for a sandwich and salad for lunch. Although 15 seats are available for those who prefer to eat on site, given the limited capacity Chez Wafi's is better suited for take-out.
Reviews describe Chez Wafi as a warm, welcoming spot with a cozy, homey atmosphere and a strong focus on fresh bread and breakfast options. Breakfast and kaak with cheese and zaatar are frequent highlights, with the bread praised as unique and the kaak tasting especially fresh. The menu includes vegetarian options, and the overall quality is consistently delicious, fresh, and satisfying, with omelettes and simple sides like olives receiving praise. Service is repeatedly noted as friendly and kind, contributing to a sense of being at home and sparking nostalgia for childhood memories in Lebanon. Many reviewers call it a hidden gem and one of their favorites in Montreal, praising the vibe, the staff, and the overall experience, while noting hours and that the store is not open all day.
Super beau resto libanais vraiment adorable. L'endroit est super propre, l'ambiance est chaleureuse & on s'y sent bien dès qu'on entre. Le kaak était délicieux, frais & parfaitement préparé. Une très belle découverte, j'y retournerai certainement !

The food is excellent & takes me back to the days of driving up from Beirut to Northern Lebanon! The kaak is better than anything on this side of the Atlantic, but what is most special about this place is the smile & the customer service you'll be given. This is as close as any business can come to a Lebanese Teta inviting you in for a bite. It's got this village kind of vibe that is very hard to replicate.
The kaak is stale, probably from a few days ago. They were out of kafta & lahm bajiin. & the stuffing is not generous. Won't be coming again. Was hoping for a abou arab experience but it's definitely not even close to that.
