Manti est largement considéré comme une destination gastronomique exceptionnelle, constamment saluée pour la grande qualité et l'authenticité de sa cuisine libanaise et arménienne. De nombreux clients soulignent les saveurs vibrantes, la fraîcheur des ingrédients et la présentation soignée de plats tels que la salade fattouche, les mantis au bœuf, le houmous et le knafeh. Bien que la grande majorité des convives décrive l'ambiance comme élégante, chaleureuse et accueillante, et le service comme professionnel et attentif, quelques commentaires font état de préoccupations concernant le rapport portion-prix, des lenteurs occasionnelles du service ou le niveau sonore lors des périodes de forte affluence. Malgré ces points de vue isolés, le consensus global reflète une expérience culinaire mémorable et de haut niveau qui incite les clients à revenir, tant pour le brunch que pour le dîner.
'Absolutely amazing experience! The flavours were incredible - everything tasted fresh, vibrant, & made with great quality ingredients. You can really tell care goes into every dish. The freshness stood out from the first bite, & the service made the experience even better. The staff was welcoming, attentive, & made us feel well taken care of. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to & recommending to others!'
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere reflects a thoughtful balance between elegance & comfort. The service is genuinely friendly & attentive, creating a welcoming environment without feeling rushed or overly formal.
The food is where Manti truly shines. Each dish is beautifully presented, combining traditional flavors with a modern touch. You can tell there is real care in both preparation & execution-everything feels intentional, fresh, & well-crafted. It's the kind of place where the visual presentation matches the quality of the taste.
Cleanliness & attention to detail are evident throughout, reinforcing the sense of a true fine dining experience.
Wishing the entire team continued success-what you are building here is something special.
Beautiful food bursting with flavor. Every dish we had was beautifully presented. Hummus & falafel were particularly good. The falafel was noise & tender-best I've ever had. My son has celiac & he could have almost everything & they were very carful about checking the food for him. Kids & adults alike loved it. This was the best meal we had after a week traveling around Quebec. Wish I had remember to take a photo!
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.
