Café chez Téta is truly a hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and passion behind this place. The owners are absolutely amazing—so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring about every customer’s experience. The food is outstanding, and you can really taste the quality in every bite. The dough, in particular, is next level—perfectly soft, fresh, and full of flavor. It’s clear that everything is made with care and authenticity. The atmosphere is just as beautiful as the food—clean, cozy, and inviting. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or a relaxed meal, it’s always a great experience. Highly recommended. This is one of those places you try once and keep coming back to.

Had such a great brunch here—definitely a 4-5-star experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and everything came out quickly without feeling rushed. The food was excellent. Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and full of flavor.

One of my favourite restaurant in Montréal! Manouchehs: - Half cheese half zaatar with cucumber tomato mint: 10/10 - Kafta cheese aïoli tomatoe: 10/10 - Teta's Falafel: 8/10 - Teta's Halloumi: 7/10 (the pesto is a bit sour for my taste and not pesto-y enough) - Teta's Kafta: 6/10 The combo (Teta's platter) makes it way too much food for one person imo. Better to share it between 2 people. The salad dressing is a bit sour so I ask for it on the side. Lattes: - Halva latte: 100/10 literally best latte I've ever had in my life - Cardamon latte: 8/10 Dip: - Baba ghanouj: 6/10

I lunched with my gf today, we are lucky that a place like Café chez Téta exists, to be able to export and make known to all people and nations the best tastes of Lebanese cuisine , they even add some twists of fusion to it, halloumi bacon, Rose water arak, etc All the past years I drank arak. I never had a Rose water Arak before and it was a very very good drink to have. Vive le Liban ! Vive la générosité Libanaise ! Addendum : What a great welcoming staff Mélodie the owner is a sweet and charming host, I recommend to all lovers of good vibes, good quality of food and unforgetful tastes !

The Lebanese breakfast here is truly authentic and delicious—a real standout. However, the hospitality and courtesy from the hostess on Sunday definitely has room for improvement. Our waitress was great, she seemed to be the only one handling her stress with grace.

Food 1/5 Service 5/5 Atmosphere 3/5 I am actually disappointed seeing the reviews before going to that place. 1: It is not kids friendly. A kids friendly place would provide some crayons and coloring books for kids.. 2. Toilet is mixed (men and women) and no baby changing station. 3. Food is tasteless. Being a mystery shopper myself,I tried those: teta kafta, teta falafel, chicken special, man'ouche mixed and 5 cheese man'ouche ( I doubt there are even 2). They don't taste good. 4. Service is great, the waitress was super friendly and helpful 5. Reservations are not allowed. First come, first serve basis. 6. Atmosphere: none. Conclusion: never again..

Service is very slow, the labneh is (weirdly) served without olive oil and without bread, which is not the way it should be. I did not even get utensils, not a single fork with my plate, had to get up, find a waiter and ask for one. And my friend got sick after eating the meat manouché there...

Thank you Mélodie! Lovely spot for brunch. We came for brunch and enjoyed sharing a few dishes, everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for the table. Great Lebanese coffee and a warm atmosphere make it a place we’d definitely recommend.

This is average Mediterranean food in Montreal, and extremely low quality compared to restos in Lebanon. Not only that, it is EXTREMELY expensive. There are better places to go in town.

The service was amazing. Everyone was hospitable and kind. The food (manouche) was all very fresh and delicious and tasted like authentic Lebanese manakeesh. The coffee was strong which is just my preference and the cafe was really cozy

I made the mistake of ordering the chicken sandwich and it was honestly terrible. It was basically a big piece of bread with almost no chicken inside. No garlic flavor, no seasoning, nothing — just dry bread. And when you finally hit a piece of chicken, it tasted old, like it had been sitting around and then reheated in the microwave. Dry, rubbery, and completely flavorless. I couldn’t even finish it. Maybe their man’ouche are okay, but the chicken sandwich is a disaster. If you’re thinking of ordering it, do yourself a favor and don’t. Total waste of money. In response to the owner: Thank you for your response. The distinction between aioli and garlic sauce is not really the issue. The problem is simply that the sandwich I received had very little chicken, very little flavor, and the chicken that was there tasted dry and far from fresh. That was my genuine experience. Reviews exist so customers can share their experiences openly. Suggesting that a customer should not express their opinion publicly because the restaurant didn’t have the opportunity to correct the situation is not how feedback works. I’m sure many customers enjoy your food, and I’m glad if your ingredients are usually fresh. Unfortunately, the sandwich I received did not reflect that standard. In the end, reviews don’t create bad impressions — experiences do.

We’re sorry to hear that we didn’t meet your expectations. Rest assured, our ingredients are fresh, and our homemade marinade is prepared daily. Regarding the chicken and cheese, we don’t use garlic sauce; instead, we use aioli, which contains a bit of garlic. We never promoted it as garlic sauce, and we would have loved to hear your thoughts on the site so we could rectify the situation and offer you something else you’d enjoy. Posting on social media didn’t help, especially since you were disappointed and we couldn’t make you happy. Hopefully, we can serve you again and ensure everything is to your liking. Thank you. I do appreciate your feedback and will never ask you not to post your feedback or experience . The only thing I wanted to rectify the situation on site right away so you will be satisfied and happy. Hopefully you will give us the chance for that . Have a good day

This is the second time we came here. The food ? Average. We asked for hot sauce. They brought cayan pepper and told they don't have the sauce. We had to wait to be seated, however we didn't get napkins, forks or any services!! For a place like that, this is weird! For the drinks, the lemonade was good. I don't recommend this place, since I gave two chances and not satisfied!

Chez Teta was a 10/10 experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional. They took their time explaining the menu and sharing their recommendations with genuine smiles, never making us feel rushed — yet everything came out so quickly. It’s rare to have that balance of attentive service and efficient turnaround, especially with a large order. You can really feel their Lebanese culture in the way they host — warm, generous, and sincere. We truly felt like family. While we were waiting for our big order, they even served us coffee on the house, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated gesture. And the desserts are a must. Everything is made in-house and absolutely delicious. The sesame sponge cake is light and unique, and the pistachio rose cake is perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Exceptional hospitality, fast service, and incredible food. We’ll definitely be back!!

This place doesn't take reservations... So you show up and wait for your turn to be seated. Friendly staff but very limited places available. Good food quality though a little bit pricey... I recommend Halloumi bacon... alson hummos and muhammara were very tasty (ask for freshly made hot bread with it). Deserts are limited and tend to sell out very fast... We end up eating the Nutella Halva manoucheh, the only available option... But I don't recommend it as it was overcooked and more like a dried Nutella pie.

We arrived here for lunch on Saturday afternoon, it was quite packed but we were able to get seated in 15 mins. The waiters/host were very welcoming and friendly I ordered lahm bi ajin, zatar bread, falafel roll, coffee, hummus, cardamom latte and rose+pistachio cake... Everything tasted very fresh and yummmmy!!
