A Morning Feast at Chez Mon Grand-père @beitjeddi_mtl. If you’re looking for a breakfast that feels like a warm hug from a Lebanese grandfather you never knew you had, Chez Mon Grand-père in Montreal is the spot. I’m calling it now: this was easily the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Every dish felt intentional, fresh, and deeply rooted in tradition. Mixed Maza & Fatoush Salad: We started with the Mixed Maza, which offered a perfect tour of textures and dips. Pairing it with the Fatoush Salad was a pro move the salad was crisp, bright, and had that essential sumac punch and crunch that clears the palate for the heavier hitters. Manakish (Cheese and Zaatar): You can’t go to a place like this and skip the Manakish. The dough was pillowy and charred in all the right places. The earthy, herbal zaatar balanced perfectly against the salty, melty cheese. Fatteh with Meat: This was pure comfort food. The combination of warm chickpeas, creamy tahini-yogurt, and toasted pine nuts topped with savory meat is a texture play that they execute flawlessly here. Sunnyside Up Eggs with Confit Lamb: This dish is a game-changer. The eggs were perfectly runny, but the confit lamb stole the show—tender, rich, and meltingly soft. It turns a standard breakfast into a gourmet experience. The Real MVPs: I need to take a second to talk about the pitas, because they were spectacular. Often, sandwiches are an afterthought at breakfast, but here, they might be the main event. Shish Taouk Pita: The chicken was incredibly juicy and marinated to perfection. It wasn’t just "good" it was the kind of pita you think about three days later. The garlic sauce (toum) was bold without being overwhelming. Beef Shawarma Pita: This was a masterclass in spice and sear. The beef was tender and packed with that signature deep flavor you only get from high-quality shawarma. This place was such a hidden gem, when we went it was empty and honestly I don't understand why the food was out of this world! Go show them some love and visit please! It's worth the trip it's FOODGASMIC CERTIFIED 💦!
