La Méd - Resto Café draws praise for fresh, hearty Mediterranean flavors and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Several reviews highlight generous bowls and plates, good value, and friendly service, with outdoor terrace seating cited as a pleasant feature. Yet there are notes of inconsistency, with some dishes described as flavorful while others are criticized as under seasoned or tasteless, including hummus lacking tahini, a watery tzatziki, and salads with old cucumbers. The grilled Tunisian salad and pita bread receive frequent acclaim, and bowls such as the harissa bowl and Lebanese inspired options are highly recommended. Ramadan and iftar nights are described as memorable for their soups, salads, couscous, and desserts, delivered with warm service, though occasional delays for mains are mentioned. Overall, La Méd - Resto Café is seen as a strong neighborhood addition for a quick lunch or a relaxed meal, with colorful ambiance and attentive staff, while some reviewers call for menu clarity about items being removed and for more environmentally friendly presentation instead of cardboard bowls.
Tried La Med for lunch The interior is just gorgeous. In love with all the details. We tried many items & everything was delicious. Huge portions, fresh food, high quality ingredients. My favorite item was L'ultime libanais. Very Friendly staff ! Fair prices! Follow @ayahayek_ for more on instagram
Salad was delicious & although the falafel was far too salty for my taste the freshness & authenticity make up for it. I recommend trying this place for yourself. A couple service issues. Order at counter, served to table so there's service to the extent of staff doing what seems helpful. But not a full service restaurant. Coffee was brought without sugar/cream so I asked for sugar. I was brought a sugar bowl with a tiny scoop spoon in it 🥣 that seemed was for behind-the-counter use & not intended for stirring a beverage. May not have been but how do I know if the tiny spoon wasn't used in another beverage & not replaced. Felt unhygienic using it to stir my coffee. Water was offered shortly after the food was served & because of the salty falafel I looked forward to some water. The employee promptly forgot about the water & sat down to eat as it was near closing time 🙄. These are growing pains.
So happy I accidentally stumbled upon this chic & adorable little place near the old port, away from the touristy area. It is clean, its interiors are well designed. It has a high ceiling, the frontage has all glass windows which brings in light & an airiness that makes dining here a pleasure. Every part of the restaurant looks like you’re in a nice cosy place in Marrakech with decor that transports you to another land without leaving Montreal.
The service is attentive, friendly & welcoming. The guy was very helpful in recommending & explaining the different flavours to help me make my choice.
I selected the Marrakech Salad which was surprisingly delicious. It had saffron chicken, green beans, cherry tomatoes, parsley, carrots, chickpeas with cumin, Harissa vinaigrette & more items which made eating a salad pretty exciting.
The portions are huge (1 order was good for 2 people) & the prices are more than reasonable.
A definite YES when I return for a visit in Montréal.
All i have to say is WOW !
Loved the vibe, the food & the owner Khalil.
Surpassed all my expectations & even got treated to an extra fresh hot few pieces of halloumi. The food is amazing & reminded me of back home. Will 100% be back a lot & trying everything on the menu!
Thank you again Khalil for your hospitality.
