Reviews of Café chez Téta (Coffee Shop)

Dan Drago

Best manooshi I’ve had in a while! Highly recommend the kofta et fromage. Beautifully designed shop as well, perfect for a brunch or coffee date.

Jean-Paul Chaib

Wow! Food was spectacular! So fresh and well made. Will definitely come here again.

Zeina Sawaya

Nice place, great mocha!

Karmen Pestotnik

Best Manoucheh in town! Great team and location, French and amazing food !

Mina Rostom

A real Gem in Plateau & Montreal for sure. The place has a great vibe. The food is Lebanese. Taste delicious & generous portions. Friendly & attentive staff. If you are a student or a Digital Nomad like my self , it is a place to be. Usually busy with people. Naturally good places attract more crowds. Cafe Chez Tete is more than a coffee shop that has a real unique character of its own.

Super authentic Lebanese manouche. The staff is super nice and welcoming. The location is in the plateau. They have big dining space. I order 2 kafta and cheese, brownies and pudding which all of them were delicious. I recommend ????????????????

Went there with my parents and for two zaatar and one cheese mankouche! The taste was soon good it brought me back to Lebanon. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere in the store is cozy. A must try

Abir Fakhreddine

What an amazing little café this place is! We were greeted by the owner, Mélodie who was very welcoming and informed us about the place, the history behind it, etc. The chairs and tables are wooden and give a rustic vibe We ordered one manouché zaatar, one manouché cheese, manouché lahem b ajin, manouché kafta and one manouché zaatar and cheese. Everything is made with the traditional oven and tastes like the ones I used to buy in Lebanon! The service is very fast, despite the place being very busy with delivery orders, etc. We also ordered one coffee and an espresso, which were also delicious. The price is a bit high compared to other places who sell the same products, but for the quality of the ingredients, the generosity and the whole vibe of the place, it is totally worth it!

I had the chance to visit this cozy café last summer and I will be back on my next trip to Montreal. This place was exceptional and situated in a vibrant area of the city. They serve authentic Lebanese food. I ate a delicious salade de betteraves, fatouche and shared with my family different freshly made manouchés. The prices of the dishes were reasonable considering the quality of the food (healthy food) and service. The ambiance was great even with Covid restrictions in place. I bought myself a coffee mug on my way out as this was a place to remember.

Great food, nice tea, kind staff. Would definitely recommend!

Claude Emmanuelle Ferland

(Translated) I had a terrible experience at Téta. The service was beyond abysmal and the price for a small dinner was beyond reproach. Two manouches, a hummus and two coffees for $ 50. What joke. Also, since the dining room was full, we had to wait outside (which is okay). The problem is, after a 20-25 minute wait, the only thing they gave us was a little space in the middle between 2 people with no distancing or protection. Their clients stay there for hours doing their homework and drinking their little coffee with no time limit, while others wait half an hour to eat there. I would never understand how this place can be so popular. Truly fifty dollars wasted. A rip off to avoid. (Original) J’ai eu un expérience terrible au Téta. Le service était au delà du exécrable et le prix pour un petit diner innaceptable. Deux manouches, un hummous et deux cafés pour 50$. Quelle blague. De plus, comme la salle à manger était pleine, nous devions attendre à l’extérieur (ce qui est correct). Le problème est qu’après 20-25 minutes d’attente, la seule chose qu’ils nous ont offert était un petit espace dans le milieu entre 2 personnes sans distanciation ou protection. Leurs clients y restent pendant des heures à faire leurs travaux scolaires boire leur petit café sans limite de temps, pendant que d’autres attendent une demi heure pour y manger. Je ne comprendrais jamais comment cet endroit peut être aussi populaire. Vraiment une cinquantaine de dollars gaspillé. Un rip off à éviter.

Momo Hodroj

Genuinely the best manakeesh in MTL and tastes just like (or honestly better) than the manakeesh at some of the most popular places in Lebanon. I cannot really do more to convince first-timers to try Chez Teta through a review so I strongly suggest seeing for yourself. If you happen to go in person, you'll also find a ton of authentic Lebanese products and ingredients that are unsurprisingly used in their own fantastic products. I discovered this place a few months ago and I'm so glad that I did. A minimum of one order per week is necessary for me at this point and I think that's a testament to the incredible work of the staff and the owners who have genuinely managed to bring a small slice of Lebanon to MTL. Much love and support!

Darwin Ramon

Tasty manakeesh and a cozy indoor dining setting, a pretty nice date place. However, the food is expensive considering it tastes very comparably to other manakeesh places which offer even bigger portions at lower prices.

Jelle Grutterink

What an amazing find. The food was so amazing, so tasty and fresh and served on beautiful pottery plates which come from local artist. We have quite a few dishes, coffee and lemonade and everything was just perfect.

Best lebanese Food in Montreal !! This is my second time to this amazing hidden Gem in Montreal ...it is not easy to find a small spot that does lebanese mana2eesh the right way ...the quantity and quality of the food is amazing ...also they have some amazing coffee not to mention lebanese coffee that taste amazing ( being from Egypt I appreciate Lebanese coffee which is really hard to find on this city !!) Unfortunately did not have time to take photos as almost all mana2eesh were gone in couple of mins ( only one I remembered to take photo was the zaater at the end ) !! Tip : dont miss Lahma b ajin & Kafta w fromage ...the best !!

Always great service and amazing food, I have been to Chez Teta more than 10 times already. Very authentic Manakeesh, exactly the same as in Lebanon, also really liked their molasses cake. I hope they add Knafeh on their menu :)

I don't normally review on google but this is the best manouché i have ever tasted in Canada, tastes exactly like the authentic places in Lebanon. Great job i will be coming often with friends and family. Price is a little higher but it comes with quality.

Excellent authentic Lebanese food (manakish) with a fantastic service. Everything is made with love and delivered with a very warm smile. Their manakish are excellent and done authenticly the traditional way. Try the moitié Zaatar moitié jebné. The keshek was amazing too as well as the yummy cheese n the kaftan. Their sweets are amazing too! The sfouf, the carobee cake n the Halawa brownies are yummyyy. Also ask guy for his excellent Corrado!! Well done! A great addition to plateau n Rachel st.

(Translated) Not only are their Mana'echs delicious (the best in Montreal, seriously !!) but they are really adorable: I ordered 2 Man'ouchés and after a few minutes of waiting, the lady only gives one alone, I told her that I had ordered 2 but I realize by telling her that she had only made me pay for one (I had thought to myself that it was really not expensive). Spontaneously, the chef tells me to wait a minute for him to prepare another one for me, I then insist on paying the other but the chef categorically refuses, prepares me a second on the spot, and tells me about it. offer, steaming and just out of the oven, without accepting that I pay him! I found it incredibly kind and it reminded me of how good Lebanese warmth and generosity are. Then I really enjoyed myself :) (Original) Non seulement leurs Mana'echs sont délicieuses (les meilleures de Montréal, sérieusement!!) mais ils sont vraiment adorables: j'ai commandé 2 Man'ouchés et après quelques minutes d'attente, la dame ne n'en donne qu'une seule, je lui dis que j'en avais commandé 2 mais je me rends compte en le lui disant qu'elle ne m'en avait fait payer qu'une seule (je m'étais fait la reflexion que ce n'était vraiment pas cher). Spontanément, le chef me dit d'attendre une minute pour qu'il m'en prépare une autre, j'insiste alors pour payer l'autre mais le chef refuse catégoriquement, m'en prépare une deuxième sur le champ, et me l'offre, fumante et juste sortie du four, sans accepter que je la lui paye! J'ai trouvé ça d'une gentillesse incroyable et ça m'a rappelé à quel point la chaleur et la générosité libanaises font du bien. Puis je me suis vraiment régalée :)

Angelo Reyes

I tried café chez Téta for the first time during COVID when all we could do is grab take out. The cheese manouch is different from the other cheese manouch i tried in Montreal. I have to say it reminds me of the manouch i used to have in Dubai. The restaurant is also very Cozy and nicely decorated and the staff amazingly friendly (they definitely have the lebanese welcoming vibe)

Mohammed Abdou

(Translated) Wonderful food, coffee and service! I am in love with the zaatar / cheese manouche as well as the Lebanese coffee with cardamom! A pure delight :) (Original) Nourriture, café et service magnifique! Je suis sous le charme du manouché zaatar/fromage ainsi que le café libanais à la cardamome! Un pur délice :)

Jerome Harfouche

Let me start off with the best things about this place: the Lebanese coffee (which is truly life changing) and the staff. The service is so friendly (I legit saw the barista bring over coffee to an older lady as well as walk her across the street with her fares). The manoushe is baked fresh in the location. I had it vegan with tomatoes, mint and cucumber and it was a great lunch. The caroube cake (vegan) is amazing. Has a small butter tinge to it that I adore, not sure how to explain it! The sfouf is good in terms of flavour but was a little dry! I am going to try it fresh in the morning to see if it makes a difference. I’m excited to try their other dishes!

Stéphane Vairo

(Translated) I went to Cafe Téta with some friends during the July heatwave and we stopped there by chance. The place could not be simpler, with rudimentary tables, we never had the worry of investing a penny in the decoration and the atmosphere. The toilet was disgusting, we do not wash the floors and the toilet often in this "restaurant" (I will avoid going into details). As there were five of us, we sat around a large table (near the toilets and we saw people come in and out immediately, it's so dirty). When we finally realized that no one was coming to serve us after fifteen minutes, we went out and went to eat in Saint-Laurent, where we know how to receive customers. I did not understand the way to operate this place which I consider a hole, given the cleanliness and the service, or rather, the lack of service. (Original) Je suis allé au café Téta avec des amis pendant la canicule de juillet et on est arrêté là par hasard. L'endroit est on ne peut plus simple, des tables rudimentaires, on n'a jamais eu le souci d'investir un sous dans la décoration et l'atmosphère. La toilette était dégueulasse, on ne lave pas souvent les planchers et la cuvette dans ce "restaurant" (je vais éviter d'entrer dans les détails). Comme on était cinq, on s'est installé autour d'une grande table (près des toilettes et on a vu des gens y entrer et en ressortir aussitôt, tellement c'est sale). Quand on a finalement réalisé que personne ne venait nous servir au bout de quinze minutes, on est sortis et on est allé manger sur Saint-Laurent, où on sait recevoir les clients. Je n'ai pas compris la façon d'opérer de cet endroit que je considère comme un trou, compte tenu de la salubrité et du service, ou plutôt, l'absence de service.

Bstor Ried

Absolutely love that place, a real gem on the plateau! Their manouche (lebanese pizzas) are amongst the best I tried in Montreal, and one of the few places where you can have coffee (wether arabic or lattes) with cardamon. LOVE IT! And what can I say about the staff, other that they are welcoming and kind ????

Simon “VDR” Grenier

(Translated) I have most likely eaten more than a thousand zaatar mankouché in my life :-) Not difficult when you grow up in Lebanon. So I allow myself a detailed evaluation! Teta's mankouche uses a thick base which is very well made (there are thin dough versions). The ingredients of zaatar are the standard ingredients in Lebanon (thyme, sesame seeds, summac, salt). It's the best formula in the Middle East (in my opinion) and the blend is well dosed at Teta. The ingredients look fresh. Obviously, we find the best thyme and the best summac in the mountains in Lebanon, but for Quebec, it's very good! Very personally, I would put a little more (which one can ask in Lebanon: "zaatar extra men fadlak") but I will not recommend that to a beginner :-) The oil is quite correct (probably very good but would have to be judged on several times). The result is what, after many trials in Montreal, seems to me to be the best mankouché in Quebec. (Yes, we find manakich (mankouché in the plural) at Adonis and Andalos and Arouch). But the pleasure of eating one that has just come out of the oven is incomparable. By -20C, it will be a pure delight.) And here I am transformed into a food critic :-))) In summary: For the addict that I am, it's absolutely brilliant to have a place that does good mankouché on Rachel! :-)))) NB: Also tasted sfouf (the kind of yellow "muffin"). I am not a big fan but I can confirm that in my case, they are made according to the rules of the art even if in Lebanon, there are some drier and quite different. With the almond pastry from the Azrak pastry shop, rue Viel, the kaak from Andalos, etc etc ... we are spoiled! (Original) J'ai très probablement mangé plus de mille mankouché au zaatar dans ma vie :-) Pas difficile quand on grandit au Liban. Donc je me permets une évaluation détaillée ! La mankouché de chez Teta utilise une base épaisse qui est très bien faite (il y a des versions pate mince). Les ingrédients du zaatar sont les ingrédients standards au Liban (du thym, graines de sésame, summac, sel). C'est la meilleure formule du Moyen Orient (selon moi) et le mélange est bien dosé chez Teta. Les ingrédients semblent frais. Évidemment, on trouve du meilleur thym et du meilleur summac en montagne au Liban mais pour le Québec, c'est très bien ! Très personnellement, j'en mettrais un peu plus (ce qu'on peut demander au Liban: "zaatar extra men fadlak") mais je ne recommanderai pas ca à un débutant :-) L'huile est tout à fait correcte (sans doute très bonne mais faudrait juger sur plusieurs fois). Le résultat est ce qui, après de nombreux essais à Montréal, me semble être la meilleure mankouché du Québec. (Oui, on trouve des manakich (mankouché au pluriel) chez Adonis et Andalos et Arouch). Mais le plaisir d'en manger une qui vient de sortir du four est incomparable. Par -20C, ca va être un pur délice.) Et me voilà transformé en critique culinaire :-))) En résumé: Pour l'accro que je suis, c'est absolument génial d'avoir un endroit qui fait de bonnes mankouché sur Rachel ! :-)))) NB: Gouté également au sfouf (l'espèce de "muffin" jaune). Ne suis pas un grand amateur mais je peux confirmer qu'en ce qui me concerne, ils sont fait selon les règles de l'art même si au Liban, il y en a de plus secs et d'assez différents. Avec les pâtes d'amandes de la pâtisserie Azrak, rue Viel, les kaak d'Andalos, etc etc... on est gatés!

Un chaï latte à emporté, au vu que la cuisine j aurai appréciée d avoir quelques chose de plus concentré en épice, quelque chose qui me fasse voyage un peu plus surtout pour un mélange maison ???? j ai testé le brownie qui est en faite un gâteau au chocolat assez dense. L halva dessus rajoute un vrai truc avec les petites pistaches. Mais j avoue un peu plus de croustillant n aurai pas été de refus pour un " brownie". Le service était rapide et correcte ???????? plutôt orienté café peu de choix niveau thé. Uniquement le chaï

I had lunch at Chez Teta recently and it was delicious. We had hummus, labneh, fattouch and a few different manouche and everything was delicious. The food was fresh and tasty, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The homemade desserts and cardamom cold brew were perfect for rounding out our our meal. I highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Giovanni

I've been wanting to try out chez Teta for a while, and finally visited recently. The location on a vibey Plateau street made for a great spot to eat, and both a manoushe and lahme b'ajeen delighted. Two Lebanese coffees, with a hint of cardamon were an excellent accompaniment, and if I'm in the mood for a Lebanese breakfast, Chez Teta would be high on my list.

Assia Alexandrova

Craving for man'oucheh (lebanese pizza) with a lebanese coffee? This is easily the top places if not the best in Montreal for it. Even their lebanese sweet are good!

Muriel Mailhac

(Translated) What a strange and disconnected place! We had been seated for 15 minutes, when finally, someone came to inform us that we had to order at the cash register, like in a McDonald's ???? So we lined up near the oven where the heat is unbearable, while a couple in front of us asked questions about each item ... 20 minutes standing like tatas to order in a place where we are dying. of heat and piled on top of each other, during the covid !!! When we received our order, I noticed that the lemonade glasses were microscopic and I would have liked to order two more (they are so small and filled with ice), but there were still people in line and I Wasn't going to line up for 15-20 minutes for a lemonade. We wanted to try their desserts but we went elsewhere, since it's so unacceptable to wait every time you want something. An establishment that operates as a fast food chain, and although it is delicious and authentic, there is no service. This is not the kind of service I have received in other Lebanese restaurants, which are much more welcoming and where you understand the concept of service. It is extremely bizarre to realize that this business is not organized around customer service, but rather around their own need. There are three women waiting behind us who came out of the restaurant seeing the wait time and we should have done the same. My wife saw a couple go out as well, because the idea of standing around like a pickle to give your order doesn't make sense. We do not go to this kind of restaurant to be served in this way. Terrible experience. (Original) Quel endroit étrange et déconnecté! On était assis depuis 15 minutes, lorsque finalement, quelqu'un est venu nous informer qu'il fallait commander à la caisse, comme dans un McDonald's???? On a donc fait la file près du four où la chaleur est intenable, pendant qu'un couple qui nous précédait posait des questions au sujet de chaque item... 20 minutes à attendre debout comme des tatas pour commander dans un racoin où on crève de chaleur et entassé les uns sur les autres, pendant la covid!!! Lorsqu'on a reçu notre commande, je me suis aperçu que les verres de limonade étaient microscopiques et j'aurais voulu en commander deux autres (tellement ils sont petits et remplis de glace), mais il y avait encore des gens en ligne et je n'allais pas faire la file pendant 15-20 minutes pour une limonade. On voulait essayer leurs desserts mais on est allé ailleurs, puisque c'est tellement inadmissible d'attendre à chaque fois qu'on veut quelque chose. Un établissement qui opère comme une chaîne de fast-food, et bien que ce soit délicieux et authentique, il n'y a aucun service. Ce n'est pas le genre de service que j'ai reçu dans d'autres restaurants libanais, beaucoup plus accueillants et où l'on comprend la notion de service. Il est extrêmement bizarre de réaliser que ce commerce n'est pas organisé en fonction du service à la clientèle, mais plutôt autour de leur propre besoin. Il y a trois femmes qui attendaient derrière nous et qui sont sorties du restaurant en voyant le temps d'attente et on aurait dû faire la même chose. Ma conjointe a vu un couple sortir également, parce que l'idée d'attendre debout comme un cornichon pour donner sa commande ne fait pas de sens. On ne va pas dans ce genre de restaurant pour être servis de la sorte. Expérience abominable.

(Translated) The best manouché I've tasted in Montreal! The Lebanese coffee was also successful. It's good, it's beautiful, go there often. (Original) La meilleure manouché que j'ai goûtée à Montréal! Le café libanais était également réussi. C'est bon, c'est beau, allez-y souvent.

Love this place! I had the manouché, half zaatar/half cheese. It was perfectly fresh and right out of the oven, doesnt get better than this. Looking forward to trying their other specialties as well! Such a cute name too:)

Elie Nabhan

Super cute place! I absolutely loved my coffee and my manouché. I can't wait to be able to sit inside and get the full Café chez Téta experience!

Such a yummy flat bread ???? had the kefta one, with cheese, and it was perfectly splendid and crisp.

(Translated) I really liked the half cheese half zaatar manouche with the addition of tomato, cucumber and mint. I recommend! (Original) J’ai vraiment aimé le manouché moitié fromage moitié zaatar avec l’ajout de tomate, concombre et menthe. Je recommande!

Sama Otba

While good taste nothing justify the price! Nice interior decor would be nice to try sitting there if they expand their menu. Also workers where very loud and noisy.

Hussein Damlaj

I like management. She named the restaurant after her grandmother. When you eat it, they come to check on you after being served. The food is great, fast and unique. I like it is the only place that I know of in the Plateau where you can ask for Turkish coffe, although it could be better since they prepare in a hurry

(Translated) I had the manouché with kafta and cheese, the hummus and the fattouche. I loved the manouché and the hummus, the flavors were very present and succulent. I recommend! However, I was disappointed with the fattouche; the dressing tasted only olive oil and sumac. I think a little acidity kick would have helped and the price seemed too high a touch. Finally, receiving a little note about my order from the employees made my day. It's a nice touch, thank you! I go back without hesitation :) (Original) J'ai pris le manouché au kafta et fromage, le hummus et la fattouche. J'ai adoré le manouché et le hummus, les saveurs étaient bien présentes et succulentes. Je recommande! J'ai toutefois été déçue par la fattouche; la vinaigrette goûtait seulement l'huile d'olive et le sumac. Je crois qu'un petit kick d'acidité aurait aidé et le prix me semblait une touche trop élevée. Finalement, recevoir une petit mot sur ma commmande de la part des employés a fait ma journée. C'est une belle attention, merci! J'y retourne sans hésiter :)

(Translated) Nice discovery! We tasted the Zaatar / Cheese manouché and the Kafta. They were delicious. They are made up to the minute and you really taste the oven taste. The flavors of the kafta were really very good. We can't wait to go back to test the rest! (Original) Belle découverte! On a goûté le manouché Zaatar/Fromage et le Kafta. Ils étaient délicieux. Ils sont faits à la minute et on sent vraiment le goût du four. Les saveurs du kafta étaient vraiment très bonnes. On a hâte d’y retourner pour tester le reste !

Can't wait for the eat-in to reopen! Nice ambiance and delish food. Ideal for a lunch or a coffee break.

Sarah El Queisi

Their Mageesh are good

Wael Aboutanos

(Translated) Hahaha! The answer to Josée L does not hold water. There is no one who works hard in this restaurant, we are not even able to serve at the tables. Shouldn't you be cowardly enough! Keeping customers in line for ages, is that your definition of working hard? (Original) Hahaha! La réponse à Josée L ne tient pas la route. Il n'y a personne qui travaille fort dans ce restaurant, on n'est même pas capable de servir aux tables. Faut-tu pas être assez lâche! Faire attendre les clients en ligne pendant une éternité, c'est ça votre définition de travailler fort?

Fantastic manouches! Their halwa brownies are also very rich and delicious ????

Mamali Amal

Their manaesh are really good, the dough is not heavy. The service is warm and welcoming, and they have those Lebanese olive soaps from back home! Even my mom felt like she was back home and loved their food!

(Translated) I'm not used to writing reviews here but it's those little things that can make a big difference. I hope you reading this will make you want to go! From the first time I went to Café chez Téta, I fell in love with it. This is the kind of place where you really feel "at teta". The food is wonderful, and I say that with every Lebanese root in me that loves a good manouché. We are there! It's perfectly located for strolling around the plateau, or even staying to eat (they've perfected the simplicity). The team is incredible, I have rarely seen people greet you at the cash desk with a big smile! And for my part, I have never left without a smile, and I always look forward to going back every time! To the team, don't give up! The current circumstances are very difficult for the restoration. Regardless, you are doing a great job! Well done x (Original) Je n'ai pas l'habitude d'écrire des commentaires ici mais ce sont ces petits gestes qui peuvent faire la grande différence. J'espère que toi qui lis ça, ça te donnera le goût d'y aller! Dès la première fois où j'ai été au Café chez Téta, j'ai eu un coup de coeur. C'est le genre d'endroit où tu te sens vraiment "chez téta". On y mange merveilleusement bien, et je dis ça avec chaque racine libanaise en moi qui raffole d'une bonne manouché. On y est bien! C'est parfaitement situé pour se balader sur le plateau, ou même rester manger (ils ont perfectionné la simplicité). L'équipe est incroyable, j'ai rarement vu des gens t'accueillir à la caisse avec un gros sourire! Et pour ma part, je ne suis jamais quittée sans un sourire, et j'ai toujours hâte d'y retourner à chaque fois! À l'équipe, ne lâchez pas! Les circonstances actuelles sont très difficiles pour la restauration. Malgré tout, vous faites un excellent travail! Bravo x

Camille Bterrani

New Lebanese mana'eesh spot (opened 7 or 8 months ago). The manouché is made as fresh as can be. Every time I've been it has hit the spot. Lebanese coffee is great as well. Try the zaatar & cheese all dressed or the kafta with aioli and tomato.

Mathieu Belanger

(Translated) Very good mana'iches! Super good zaatar, cheese and lahmb'ajin, a little less kishk but still very good. Very good coffee and above all very nice welcome! (Original) Très bonnes mana'iches! Zaatar, fromage et lahmb'ajin super bonnes, kishk un peu moins mais très bonne quand même. Très bon café et surtout accueil très sympa!

Excellent place for mana'ish, Lebanese coffee and desserts. They do it just right, as the name implies. The cheese and kishek mana'ish are personal favourites. Discovered this place last year, can't wait for my (nearby) office to open again, I'll be coming every week !

(Translated) All in all very good and a nice place !! We eat well, nothing fancy but more than good! Very busy, very chaotic! This place has identity problem, it's a cafe so a lot of students with Tablet and Computer, ok cool but that explains why we have to wait so long !! You want students who will have a comfortable coffee at the table or customers who will place a good order, eat 30 minutes and move on !! To see again, I think !! In Laval there is a large Lebanese community and you will find better! But Laval is not connected like MTL !! Very nice hostess and server thank you !! (Original) Dans l'ensemble c'es très bien et un agréable endroit !! Nous avons bien manger, rien d'extraordinaire mais plus que bien! Très achalandé, très chaotique ! Cette endroit a problem d'identité, c'est un café donc beaucoup d'étudiants avec Tablette et Ordi, ok cool mais ca explique pourquoi nous devons attendre si longtemps !! Vous voulez des étudiants qui vont prendre un café bien confo a la table ou des clients qui vont passer une bonne commande , manger 30 minutes et passer a autre choses!! A revoir , je crois !! A Laval il y a une grande communauté Libanaise et vous aller trouver mieux ! Mais Laval ce n'est pas branché comme MTL!! Hôtesse et serveur très gentils merci a vous!!

(Translated) I really liked the hospitalization of the owners. They are welcoming and smiling. A fresh and very good espresso coffee. Their mankoushe made with fresh and delicious ingredients. I recommend this new restaurant / cafe highly. (Original) J'ai bien aimé l'hospitalisation des propriétaires. Ils sont accueillants et souriants. Un café espresso frais et très bon. Leur mankoushé fait avec des ingrédients frais et délicieux. Je recommande ce nouveau restaurant/café fortement.

Johanne Hebert

(Translated) They call it a cafe, so they don't have to serve their customer. I went there last week during the heatwave, they weren't running the air conditioning, we were literally bursting and you had to wait in line for 15 minutes. There were three water containers on a counter, but they were all empty and the glasses were dirty. They don't take care of customers, not even able to turn on the air conditioning. I understand why everyone is frustrated with the service at this place. It's the kind of place that deserves to close, it's so mediocre. (Original) Ils appellent ça un café, pour ne pas avoir à servir leur client. J'y suis allé la semaine dernière pendant la canicule, ils ne faisaient pas fonctionner l'air climatisé, on crevait littéralement et il fallait attendre en ligne pendant 15 minutes. Il y avait trois récipients pour l'eau sur un comptoir, mais ils étaient tous vides et les verres étaient sales. Ils ne s'occupent pas de la clientèle, même pas capable de mettre l'air climatisé. Je comprends pourquoi tout le monde est frustré par le service de cet endroit. C'est le genre d'endroit qui mérite de fermer, tellement c'est médiocre.

Sally K

I just had the tastiest thyme and cheese manoushe at Café chez Téta. The quality of the thyme, the softness of the dough, and the flavourful hand-picked veggies were superior. I was very impressed by the fast service, the hospitality of the owners, the cleanliness of the venue, and most importantly the authenticity of the menu. Truly felt as if I had brunched in Lebanon. Keep it up!

Nathalie T

Love this place!!! Seriously has one of the best manouche I have ever tasted in Montreal. Everything is prepared fresh and the barista there is awesome!! Highly recommend

Delightful middle Eastern brunch with great vegetarian options!

Brigitte Therrien

(Translated) It's not a nice place to spend your money on overpriced food. It's overpriced but we had read some positive reviews. But it's really not worth it. Like many reviews, it's the owners' friends who write anything, and again, customers are encouraged to write something in exchange for a sandwich. It's a show. (Original) Ce n'est pas un endroit agréable où dépenser son argent, pour de la bouffe beaucoup trop chère. C'est hors de prix mais on avait lu des critiques positives. Mais ça ne vaut vraiment pas la peine. Comme bien des commentaires, ce sont les amis des propriétaires qui écrivent n'importe quoi, où encore, on incite les clients à écrire quelque chose en échange d'un sandwich. C'est de la frime.

Joelle Najem

(Translated) I had a terrible experience at Téta. The service was beyond abysmal and the price for a small dinner was beyond reproach. Two manouches, a hummus and two coffees for $ 50. What joke. Also, since the dining room was full, we had to wait outside (which is okay). The problem is, after a 20-25 minute wait, the only thing they gave us was a little space in the middle between 2 people with no distancing or protection. Their clients stay there for hours doing their homework and drinking their little coffee with no time limit, while others wait half an hour to eat there. I would never understand how this place can be so popular. Truly fifty dollars wasted. A rip off to avoid. (Original) J’ai eu un expérience terrible au Téta. Le service était au delà du exécrable et le prix pour un petit diner innaceptable. Deux manouches, un hummous et deux cafés pour 50$. Quelle blague. De plus, comme la salle à manger était pleine, nous devions attendre à l’extérieur (ce qui est correct). Le problème est qu’après 20-25 minutes d’attente, la seule chose qu’ils nous ont offert était un petit espace dans le milieu entre 2 personnes sans distanciation ou protection. Leurs clients y restent pendant des heures à faire leurs travaux scolaires boire leur petit café sans limite de temps, pendant que d’autres attendent une demi heure pour y manger. Je ne comprendrais jamais comment cet endroit peut être aussi populaire. Vraiment une cinquantaine de dollars gaspillé. Un rip off à éviter.

Jacynthe Ménard

(Translated) I sat down at a table with my wife, I waited 10 minutes before someone deigned to see us, telling us that we had to order at the counter! We got out of there all at once. When we go to a restaurant, we are used to being served. Otherwise, we go to McDonald's. Such a disappointing place. (Original) Je me suis assis à une table avec ma conjointe, j'ai attendu 10 minutes avant qu'on daigne nous voir, en nous indiquant qu'il fallait commandé au comptoir! On est sorti de là d'un seul trait. Quand on va au restaurant, on a l'habitude d'être servi. Sinon, on va chez McDonald's. Tellement décevant comme endroit.
