Le Chef was one of the highlights of our trip to Montreal! Tucked away in a basement, it's an unassuming little gem that serves some of the most delicious Palestinian & Syrian food we've had.

From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was smiling, warm, & eager to help. A special thank you to **Noor**, who patiently explained the menu, answered our questions, & helped us choose the perfect dishes. The service was exceptional from start to finish.

The ambiance was inviting & comfortable, & every dish we ordered was fresh, flavorful, & beautifully prepared. The owner was also incredibly gracious, taking the time to make sure we were enjoying our meal, which added a very personal touch to the experience.

My wife & I were visiting from Toronto to celebrate her birthday, & choosing Le Chef turned out to be one of the best decisions we made during our stay. We left with full stomachs & wonderful memories.

If you're in Montreal & appreciate authentic Middle Eastern cuisine served with genuine hospitality, I can't recommend Le Chef highly enough. Don't let its modest entrance fool you-this place is a true hidden gem.

You will not be disappointed!

Welcome surprise in downtown. Palestinian food from a majority female run establishment. Service was initially slow but food arrived promptly. Lentil soup delicious. Lemon chicken too. Other dishes so so. Not easy access with a pram.

Surprisingly basic & expensive price-point for their offer. Service for my table was 1 star, as it was for most guests near our table. Our server did the experience a 1-star but the kitchen was good. I had to visit the website twice to confirm that I was in the right place. Some of the pics online do not nearly represent the place- a bit misleading in my opinion. We selected the option for a menu for 2, pretty generous portions. The server limited her interactions to taking the order, not even confirming dishes. Not even a description of dishes or tour of their ingredients or anything. In all, I ended up ordering extra items because of communication gaps. Don't expect a'do you need anything?','thank you for visiting' or eye-contact. Le Chef maybe a place that offers to-go & reviews are for delivery or pick-up food; this place is a low 3.x, & a 4.8 is an artificial wishful-thinking rating. I received my check before I ordered dessert, & I cleaned the table myself before it was delivered. Spend your money elsewhere. I rarely find ratings way off. This place is not even a 3.8!
