I had been waiting to try this place for some time so we stopped by Le Chef after a movie since it was very close to the cinema. I was with my mom and we were not hungry, just very curious so we shared a chef's plate. They offer you a shot of the most delicious lentil soup to start and some incredible dates are available on the table too (not sure if the dates are Ramadan only?). The plate gives you the choice between many options which I'm sure are all very tasty, it's also possible to pick only vegetarian/vegan options. We had the mujaddara, spinach, vine leaves and my mom had the syrian chicken. Everything was great, my mom even vouches for the chicken and she doesn't usually like eating chicken at restaurants as it can be meznikh, but le chef's chicken is very clean ! The turkish coffee is nice too, has cardamom and comes in the cutest presentation. The service is very warm and the atmosphere makes you feel very comfortable and safe. All this to say, if you don't know where to eat, if you need a place with veggie options or if you're Lebanese looking to eat familiar food but don't want to have the exact same flavors or dishes you're used to, just go to Le Chef, you'll even get to drink from a briq. :)

Such a beautiful iftar we had. I truly felt at home ❤️ The generosity of the staff, the taste of the delicious meals, and the atmosphere — everything made it even more special. We are so thankful for this experience.
I came here alone and had such a great experience. The food was genuinely delicious, but what really stood out was the warmth and hospitality, it felt welcoming from the moment I walked in.I ordered the Gazan Barrad and it was super refreshing and well balanced. For starters, the Muhammara was a highlight: flavorful, a little smoky, and perfect with bread. For mains, both Daoud Bacha and Awarma Mujadara were comforting and packed with depth. The meatballs in Daoud Bacha were hearty and satisfying, and the Awarma Mujadara had that rich, home cooked feel that’s hard to find.Cozy atmosphere, generous portions, and you can tell the people here really care. Highly recommend, I’ll definitely be back.
Good prices, very quick and good service, and delicious food.
great spot
Excellent is the closest word to describe this restaurant.... went for IFtar and i loved it
All was good ! Cozy family owned restaurant!
Everything was amazing from the staff to the Resturant to the food
Amazing service! Hosted 12 of us for Ramadan Buffet. The food was delicious
Great food, great atmosphere, great people
Exceptional halal food (we especially recommend the daoud bacha), wonderful atmosphere, and incredibly friendly staff! Variety of complimentary offerings such as tea and lentil soup, and their dishes cover a wide range of Arab countries and palates. We mourn our inability to attend their upcoming Iftar feast
What a fantastic meal! The food was fresh, delicious, and perfectly cooked. Truly a great dining experience from start to finish.
I had a really good experience here with the small Middle Eastern dishes! Really cozy atmosphere in a basement.
The plate option is a very good experience as you get to try small different dishes and everything was delicious.
Amazing place!
The atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and the presentation of the food was really impressive. The flavors were well balanced, and you can tell the kitchen pays attention to quality and detail. Service was friendly and attentive without being overwhelming, which made the whole evening feel relaxed. Definitely a nice spot if you’re looking for a place that mixes good vibes with thoughtfully prepared dishes. I’d come back again to try more from the menu.
Great food! Nice ambiance

Great experience!, I came for the second time, the food is amazing! The service is great, I came with friends to celebrate a birthday and did all the accommodation, feeling grateful :)))))
It rarely happens that a restaurant exceeds your expectations and everything you taste is awesome. The hospitality and complimentary snacks are perfect. One of my top favourite spots now in Canada.
Great food, service, atmosphere. Very nice and welcoming people. Food tastes amazing. Must recommend!
We had a lovely dinner at La Chef. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was attentive and friendly, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Definitely a great spot for a nice evening out in Montreal!
