Two young Armenian-Canadian entrepreneurs Levon Keyork and Nareg Meterissian decide to embark in the journey of opening an Armenian bistro: Manti.
“Manti” is an Armenian national dish composed of mini dumplings sizzling in a rich stock with a garlic-yogourt sauce, the whole garnished with sumac and mint.
At Manti we serve Armenian & Mediterranean classics served with a twist and a whole lot of cultural pride.

PROS
The food is very tasty.
CONS
1. The service was mediocre. The waitress messed up the orders multiple times, even after confirming she understood the order. This was disappointing as I didnt get the main dish & finally cancelled it.
2. The food portions are too small for the price you pay
Cozy & classy restaurant, kind staff, & the food is unreal. The manti was good a few years ago, & as an Armenian I can still comfortably say it's now amazing.
Highly recommend!
Amazing experience at this Armenian restaurant! I tried the manti, & it was absolutely delicious - perfectly baked, full of flavor, & served with a rich sauce that complemented it so well. You can really taste the authenticity & care put into the food.
The portions were generous, the service was friendly, & the atmosphere was warm & welcoming. If you're looking to try real Armenian cuisine, this place is a must. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes!
Every Saturday I have a standing lunch appointment. Each week we go to a different restaurant. We visited Manti on the last Saturday of 2025 & regretted not having come here sooner.
Over the years I've visited a number of Syrian restaurants. I've enjoyed Damas when they were on park Avenue, & Alep while managed by the previous generation. Regrettably, both institutions no longer shine as bright as they used to. Just when I thought that was the end of decent Syrian food in Montreal, I discovered Manti.
Everything we ordered from the starters to the fattoush, to the grilled kabobs we had for lunch was spot on. I cannot flaw anything part of the experience of dining at Manti.
Manti was the best saturday lunch of 2025, & will definitely stay on my roster of regular places to dine.
Avis
J'ai été déçu(e) par mon expérience dans ce restaurant. Les plats étaient trop salés & manquaient franchement de saveur & de fraîcheur, ce qui a rendu la nourriture sèche & peu agréable. Pour le prix, la qualité n'était vraiment pas au rendez-vous, & c'était en dessous de ce qu'on peut attendre, même d'un fast-food.
Malheureusement, nous ne pensons pas reveni
We had our daughter's baptism reception at Manti & it was nothing short of incredible. The food was some of the best we have ever had. All of our guests were so impressed with how amazing every single dish tasted. Words cannot describe how happy we were with our experience! Can't wait to come back!
Excellent food & service.
I'm vegan & I was able to find a few items that I was able to eat. Staff is very knowledgeable of what I can eat. Definitely will be coming back
Food was delicious & presented very well. Service was impeccable.
We left completely enchanted. From start to finish, every dish was a revelation.
The beef manti was a first for us, each little dumpling perfectly seasoned & bathed in a sauce that was both comforting & complex. The hummus deserves its own standing ovation-silky, rich, & impossibly fresh-& every side dish that arrived at our table complemented the mains harmoniously.
Beyond the food, Manti has a warm, inviting, effortlessly charming atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile-an energy that feels communal without being loud. The decor is elegant yet cozy, with just the right touch of modern flair. It's the perfect spot for a group dinner with friends, where shared plates & good conversation flow effortlessly.
Service was friendly, attentive, & genuinely welcoming.
Manti is a delight! Trust me when I say this : every single item on the menu is incredibly flavourful & delicious.
From their brunch menu, my personal favourites are the foul medames, fatteh kawarma, eggs with soujouk & zaatar kaek. The knafa French toast is a MUST.
From their regular menu, I recommend the beef manti, fattoush salad, cheese borek, shrimp kataifi, beef manti & grilled meat sharing platter.
Inarguably one of the best places to eat in Laval!
I often come to Manti & usually the food is great & we have a great time.
This time however, the food was great, service was alright, but the atmosphere was just so bad.
We went to eat at like 5pm, it seemed like they were preparing for a party. They spent atleast 15-20 minutes inflating balloons with a compressor, which was super loud. I could barely hear my husband speak to me, on top of that the music was loud & inconsistent. One song was depressing, the other was a party song. Mixed with the balloons, it wasnt enjoyable.
Usuaully when I spend $140+ at a restaurant for 2 people, the environment is a lot classier & less noisy.
If you have party to prepare for, that ok. Just give the people who reserve a warning, or make sure the party staff prepares before coming in to not disturb your clients.
As much as I love your food, i wanted to get out as soon as I could.
Very yummy & authentic. Made me feel like I went back to Armenia. Service was impeccable.
Apprécions la douceur sur les papilles gustatives, un service impeccable, l'ambiance...il y avait un groupe donc nous en avons eu moins mais nous avons adoré, à refaire pour des saveurs différentes
Food was always terrific so my wife wanted to do her baby shower here. All the guests raved about the food, service & ambiance. The staff was very friendly & helpful. Highly recommend & would do it over 100 times
We recently ordered catering for a birthday party, & it was absolutely outstanding! The presentation was beautiful & thoughtful, making the food look as amazing as it tasted. Every dish was incredibly delicious, full of flavor, & served in very generous portions, our guests couldn't stop raving about it. The whole process was seamless & made hosting so easy. It's clear that they have excellent catering capabilities & a real passion for quality. Highly recommend for any event!
We had high hopes visiting from out of town. But with our previous Armenian food experiences, this one unfortunately didn't fare well. Everyone was nice, nothing against staff. But service was very slow, & we had to get up several times to find a server. food was ok, but the worst was those dumplings, they were tiny, almost burnt, super duper dry. nothing to them at all, & the rest of the food was nothing great. Mains were tiny, The lamb was the highlight, cooked just right though. Highlight was the baklava ice cream dessert with cotton candy. it was unreal. that brought up this score for sure! for the price, not worth it nope.
