Levon Keyork et Nareg Meterissian, deux jeunes entrepreneurs canadiens d’origine arméno-canadienne, décident de s’embarquer dans l’ouverture d’un bistro arménien: Manti.
« Manti » est un plat national Arménien composé de mini-dumplings pétillant dans un bouillon riche avec une sauce à l’ail et au yogourt, le tout garni de sumac et de menthe.
Chez Manti, nous servons des classiques Arméniens et Méditerranéens servis avec une touche et une fierté culturelle.
Les avis sur Manti convergent sur une cuisine arménienne authentique et savoureuse, avec des plats vedettes comme les manti et des mezzes riches et bien assaisonnés. Le service est globalement apprécié pour sa rapidité et sa gentillesse, même si quelques commentaires évoquent des erreurs de commande ou une certaine lenteur en période dense. Les portions et le rapport qualité prix varient selon les plats, mais beaucoup louent des assiettes généreuses et une présentation soignée. L'ambiance est souvent décrite comme chaleureuse et conviviale, adaptée aux repas entre amis ou en famille et parfois propice à des événements. Les desserts comme le knafeh french toast ou la baklava ice cream reviennent fréquemment comme des points forts, tout comme le brunch et les plats signature tels que le fattoush et le kebbé. Dans l'ensemble, Manti est perçu comme une adresse fiable pour une cuisine authentique et des saveurs bien travaillées, avec des expériences positives récurrentes et une envie de revenir pour découvrir d'autres plats.
Most incredibly tasty food I've ever had. & the waiters are so nice & responsive. It's always a wonderful time to go there & enjoy the atmosphere & the food. I usually go with a group of 2-4 people & we enjoy shared platter & fattoush salad which is insanely good & of course the Kunaffa which for me is the most delicious kunaffa in the world 🥲
It is very rare that a restaurant has this kind of effect on me.
For context - I'm from Toronto, I split my time between Toronto & Montreal, & I'm Lebanese/Armenian. My family has been cooking everything from scratch for generations. Because of that, I'm extremely hard to impress when it comes to Lebanese or Armenian food. I almost never prefer restaurant versions over home cooking.
This place? Absolutely phenomenal.
First, the environment. Clean, minimalist, not pretentious, but thoughtfully designed. It's not'high-end' in a flashy way - it's just done right. The service was exceptional. The two servers were attentive without being overbearing. They picked up on details. That level of care genuinely surprised me.
Now the food.
The fattoush was one of the best I've ever had outside of home. Crisp lettuce, super fresh vegetables, perfectly fried pita, & beautiful contrast with pomegranate. I was honestly shocked at how much I loved it.
We ordered kibbeh nayeh (raw kibbeh), which I usually never order outside because we make it fresh at home. It wasn't my mother's - but it was really, really good. That says a lot.
The hummus with kawarma (stewed meat on top) was phenomenal. Paired with the fattoush, it was unreal. I don't think I've ever fallen in love with hummus & meat like that before.
Batata harra - fried spiced potatoes with toum - amazing. My only note is I wish it had a little more heat, but the flavour was excellent.
The manti (beef dumplings with garlic yogurt, dried mint, sumac, & pepper) were some of the best I've had - & I've had them at very traditional spots. Exceptional.
My only wish is for the pita bread to be served warm.
& dessert.
Kanafeh pain perdu. Perfect portion. Crispy, sweet, balanced. The cheese was absolute perfection. 10 out of 10. Truly.
I haven't asked to speak to an owner to compliment them in over 10 years. I did here. The owner looked young - & he should be incredibly proud. With rising costs & declining quality in so many restaurants lately, this place delivered on everything: service, cleanliness, creativity, flavour, execution.
This was an exceptional meal. Truly a 11/10 experience.
The photos & videos honestly don't do it justice. I'll be back - & next time, I'm bringing more people.
217$ for 3 people!!!!
AVOID THIS PLACE
Bad experience, very expensive for that type of restaurant,
The price is very high comparing to the atmosphere
If i knew that before,i will absolutely change the place to another fancy arabic food restaurant !!!
Also was no heating & the ground was dirty,full of mud & slush

Delicious food very flavorful & authentic. The manti are a must obviously 😜
One of my personal faves was the beetroot muttabal (eggplant dip). Would definitely go back there!
Food was outstanding... Beautifully presented; taste was superb & extremely flavorful.
We had at least 8 different dishes & we thoroughly enjoyed each one. It reminds me of Damas, but at far lower prices...but very very similar in terms of flavor & presentation. We were 2 & my wife is generally very critical of restaurant food, but we both loved it & will make this a part of our regular dining experiences.
Service was fast, courteous & pleasant, making the whole experience something to remember. Next time we'll be sure to take a bunch of friends so we can sample more of those delicious offerings.
We wanted to try more dishes but we were only 2 & you really need to either go as a group or be a total glutton 😁.

What can I say, everything there is so delicious, simply the best middle eastern food with fresh ingredients!
Plus, the staff is very kind & professional. The whole experience is amazing, whether it's for brunch, dinner or to go 😊
One of the best meals I've had in a long time came for a Saturday lunch not knowing what to expect, & I left a big fan. Everything served was top notch. Truly impressed.

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!
