balila - (Near Laval, QC)

5 /5 Mansour Mansour: Loved this place for a cozy Middle Eastern breakfast. The food was fresh and flavorful — the meat manoushe was perfectly seasoned, and the cheese one had just the right amount of crisp on the edges. The falafel was crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and paired so well with the creamy hummus and fresh veggies. Everything came beautifully presented and full of flavor. Definitely a spot Id come back to for a relaxed morning meal.

4 /5 C S: Very good place, clean and good service and quick. But the fatteh although tasty, needed more cumin, lemon and garlic. Lack a little more flavor. Cheese manoushe was very good. Overall decent restaurant but im a fan of fatteh so Id eat it somewhere else especially its the same price at other places we know of but the rest was very good.

5 /5 Omar Wehbe: Special thank you to Mike & Charbel From the moment I walked into Balila, I knew I was in for something special. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and filled with the comforting aroma of authentic Middle Eastern spices. Every detail — from the elegant décor to the friendly smiles of the staff — makes you feel right at home. The food? Simply incredible. Every dish is bursting with flavor and freshness. The balila was silky smooth, the manakich perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy inside, and the eggs were seasoned to perfection. You can really taste the care and passion that goes into every plate. The service was exceptional — attentive without being intrusive. The staff took the time to explain the dishes and even offered great pairing suggestions. It’s rare to find a place that balances quality, hospitality, and authenticity so well. If you’re coming for a casual meal, Balila delivers a dining experience you’ll want to repeat again and again. Highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates amazing food !

5 /5 Samira El-timani: We had a wonderful Lebanese breakfast here. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, but what really stood out was how well they took care of us—attentive, kind, and genuinely welcoming service. The live music added such a special touch and created a relaxed, joyful atmosphere. The ambience was cozy and vibrant at the same time, making it the perfect place to enjoy a slow breakfast. Highly recommend for both the food and the experience.
