Mon restaurant préféré à Montréal!! Le menu est simple, mais super bien exécuté. Les ingrédients sont frais & super savoureux. Les meilleurs falafels de la ville, sans exagération. En hiver je mange dedans, mais les pitas sont super pratique pour faire un petit pique nique au parc à côté :)

Honestly, these are the best sandwiches we've had in town - rivaling Kawa Café. This is a must-stop visit for anyone wanting a delicious unique sandwich.

i was super excited to try this place given the lovely reviews. as a food lover & enthusiast for mediterranean food, unfortunately, this did not hit the spot. the pita was yummy, but the chicken was dry & flavorless. the spicy like sauce with the fries was delicious though. the decor inside with the trailing pothos is lovely & very friendly service. the food just fell flat for me.

If you're into Mediterranean food, this is the spot! They claim to have the best falafel in Montreal-& it's true 😁.
I also loved the kebab. The ingredients were super fresh, the staff were friendly, & the freshly baked bread was amazing. Probably the best & freshest pitas I've had in Montreal.
Totally worth the price!

The lemonade they recommended was good-nice & sour-but a bit too sweet for our taste 😅.
