Marouch is praised for authentic Lebanese breakfast and a range of fresh, flavorful dishes such as foul, msabaha, and shakshouka, with generous portions and very reasonable prices. The service is repeatedly described as friendly and attentive by a warm, family run team, creating a welcoming, homey atmosphere. While the food is often said to feel like home, a few notes mention simple decor and occasional cleanliness concerns in the washrooms and on utensils, and some items may be seen as overpriced, but these points do not overshadow the overall impression of a reliable, hospitable Lebanese spot.
I was craving their fatteh so badly, so I stopped by - only to find they were closed. The owner happened to be there, & when I asked if there was any chance I could get some, he didn't hesitate. He opened up the kitchen just for me & made it fresh.
It was absolutely delicious. & when I went to pay, he refused & said it was on the house.
What a genuinely big-hearted person. This is the kind of place that restores your faith in people. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One the things that really stood out for me was the kindness & smile of the girl that served us. It was my first time eating fatteh & foul. I must say the fatteh with added meat was sooooo delicious. The foul wasn't my favorite but it was still very good. Me & my gf really enjoyed this family owned restaurant & will definitely comeback!
I'd like to share my honest experience with breakfast at this place. Service-wise, it was good. We were welcomed politely, though seating was limited due to some guests having reservations. Despite that, they kindly asked us to wait a little while they cleaned a table for us. Shortly after, a gentleman greeted us, & we were served a delicious cup of tea. They also brought out a plate of vegetables & olives. Surprisingly, the green olives were tasty, even though I typically don't like green olives-they were sweet, not bitter. I ordered Fatteh, a dish of foul, & a cheese Manoushe. I was eagerly anticipating the Fatteh, as I had been craving it, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. It lacked salt & had a strange taste, possibly due to the chickpea water. The foul also needed more lemon & salt, which I had to add myself. On the bright side, the Manoushe was large & delicious. One downside that I dislike not just here but at most Arab restaurants is that they don't accept credit or debit cards. They have an ATM inside the restaurant to withdraw cash, which I find inconvenient. So, make sure to bring cash if you plan to have breakfast there. The prices also seem a bit high-$12 for a Manoushe is overpriced. I hope this review helps others who are considering visiting this restaurant!

Good service, but can't say the same about the food, used to love this place. Fatteh is watery, fool has no lemon & no garlic flavour. The egg awarma sorry but not edible. Not sure what it is, but quality went down. Don't mind the high price if food quality is good. Oh & the place is filthy.

Hands down the best Lebanese fatteh, hummus in Quebec. The food is served with tea, a side of andalos pita & a plate of raw vegetables (onions, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, menthe & a pepper). We also got a side of foul & an omlette. Unfortunately I wasn't able to try the zaatar bread because the ovens close around 1pm. Overall great experience, worth the drive from Montreal.
C’est un peu cher par rapport au choix on a choisi un repas pour 2 qui s’appele le choix d’Omar ( 2-3 personnes) à 55$ au menu . Il contient un assiette de foul , assiette de fatteh, labneh , assiette de hommos & 2 oeufs . Servi avec du thé, pain & olives .
Le servies était un peu lent .sinon j’ai passé du bon temps avec ma sœur .
